zentrada.Distribution masters it’s challenge in the Christmas Trade and starts right into a new aera in the digital wholesale business with Mix-Order
Whenever an online company starts doing actual physical logistics, it is more than a simple change. zentrada is celebrating the successful introduction of their Europe-wide distribution logistics. Starting the end of 2017 “Mix-Order” service will bring them to the next level in digital wholesale in Europe.
„zentrada.Distribution gave us the opportunity to win several important wholesale suppliers in order to offer their products on our online marketplace. Introducing Mix-Order will give small independent Retailers the chance to buy products in smaller quantities from different sellers within one order and delivery, centralized over the zentrada platform”, explains zentrada CEO Ingo Schloo as motivation for the extensive development.
zentradas strategy builds a connection between the suppliers of the biggest and most attractive assortments and the crowd of small retailers in Europe, enabling more independent retailers to succeed and survive in the future.
Successful Retail Business needs wider and more changing assortments to fully meet the needs of the existing customer base, is explained by Martina Schimmel, manager of zentrada Germany. Specialized retail is shifting completely toward the internet. The stationary retailers are getting focused on their existing customer frequency by a more active assortment strategy and need their fore very flexible sourcing channels.
In this way the internet becomes a sourcing channel for retailers success, and a competitor on the selling side.
