NEW DELHI, INDIA:askmeBazaar has launched askmeBazaar wholesale, an easy to use online procurement service to assist small businesses in managing their procurement needs from suppliers across the country.
The new service will offer benefits like searching for suppliers, comparing products, ordering a sample, getting a quote and even ordering online.
On registering with askmeBazaar wholesale by paying an annual subscription fee of Rs.1000 small local businesses like hotels, hospitals, spa's, salons, small offices, factories etc can now choose and buy from the suppliers from across the country without leaving their offices.
Small businesses can now reduce the time it takes to find the right supplier and managing the service contracts and improve their procurement efficiency to match large business houses who have a large procurement team managing everything.
In the new service, all suppliers are listed with full contact details and phone numbers on the portal so buyers can contact them directly if required. Direct transactions were difficult earlier as suppliers have a huge problem managing collections from small businesses across the country and hence there is a network of agents and middlemen who add to the cost and loss of efficiency.
askmeBazaar will facilitate collections for suppliers through their network of distributors across the country while shipping is managed by the supplier directly as bulk shipping might require specialized treatment; this reduces the number of layers in the supply chain.
