Online wholesale in times of crisis: zentrada Provides a Digital Distribution Platform to Suppliers of Corona Protection Equipment

April 7, 2020

In times of crisis and analogue standstill in trade and distribution, digital platforms make an important contribution to the supply and procurement of goods outside the existing supply chains.

zentrada, Europe's largest sourcing platform in consumer goods trade, is experiencing a major decline in retail purchasing throughout Europe, but also strong growth with its online retailers, who are greatly increasing their sourcing volumes and product ranges.

Due to the strong demand, zentrada launched a unique offer to quickly supply its members with a larger selection and volume.

Thus zentrada accommodates the needs of suppliers for face masks, protective equipment, disinfectants, and cleaning agents and its buyers in the retail, hospitality, and health care sector. Qualified manufacturers and suppliers of protective equipment can now start a “Salesroom” on zentrada’s wholesale platform with a fast-track procedure and without setup fees. The Europe-wide presentation of products is automated and order processing digital, but supported by our zentrada sales staff across Europe. If required, zentrada also takes over the logistic processing. Depending on the internationality and transaction value, a staggered transaction fee is charged.

zentrada has set up a special buyer world for Corona prevention products and informs its members to new offers via its personalized information services. Suppliers can find more information and the application form on our online pages.
