A new online platform aims to simplify the sales process for IT resellers in SA, by providing a place where all products can be found.

The Marketplace is a cloud-based platform where IT resellers can search for products from any distributor in the country, quote their customer, and place orders.

The platform integrates all major suppliers throughout SA. It holds the stock price and availability of over 450 000 IT and office products available in the country.

"Through the collaboration of a team of experts, the concept of The Marketplace came into existence to address certain challenges in the industry and its processes," the company says in a statement.

"Having all worked in the reseller and distributor space for many years, these individuals had come to understand the aggravation of these challenges and how it affected the efficiency of daily operations. The difficulty in calling and e-mailing every distributor to get the best prices, and to confirm if stock is available, takes valuable time that could be spent advising customers or providing paying services."

The Marketplace says the platform gives resellers the chance to provide fast and accurate feedback to customers, thereby lowering the risk of the client continuing their search for another service provider.

The company says there are no rebates or margins added to the pricing provided. "The prices on The Marketplace come directly from the supplier, unaltered."

Resellers can choose between three plans to subscribe to the platform, including a free plan.
