MarketOrders is focused on helping off-line retailers to source the best gold products they need directly from the suppliers. And in order to do that we help retailers adopt the 3 C’s; A Consumer Centric Culture.

 

Our platform allows our customers to buy the products they need by creating a B4B model. This is known as Business-For-Business. This model works best when both players in the marketplace benefit from each transaction.

 

And this is exactly what happens with MarketOrders. Our retailer’s benefit from being able to access thousands of products online (when usually they only have access to 20-30 designs and products that the walk in sales man has on him at the time).

 

And the supplier’s benefit by now being able to service and supply smaller retailers who previously they could not serve due to the minimum order quantities they needed.

 

MarketOrders bypasses this problem by encouraging smaller orders from retailers and our unique software aggregates these orders into larger orders and routes them to the right supplier who can then accept the large order and provide us with a bulk discount cost. In the B4B model, it’s a win-win situation for all market players.

 

How do you achieve a Consumer Centric Culture?

A B4B model helps buyers to align with the consumer centric culture.

In order to achieve a consumer centric culture, the B4B model works backward towards a consumer centric culture. This amplifies the needs and wants of the customer coming into the store.

 

The availability of faster internet penetration and mobile devices allows the B4B concept to become more important because consumers now also have access to more products and have greater visibility of price, Consumers are walking into your shops knowing what they want. The question to retailers is, are you ready to serve your customers with what they are asking for?

 

We are working hard on creating the MarketOrders platform which can bring greater connections between retailers and manufacturers or suppliers in real time for the first time in a saleable and affordable manner.

 

A Consumer Centric Culture [3C’s] is one in which retail owners and employees are collectively working to fulfil customer’s needs as their ultimate goal. Everyone is aware of the direct and indirect impact his or her work has on the overall customers experience at every point of interaction within the customer journey.

 

If you are a retailer, how are you ensuring you create a consumer centric culture in your business? Please post in the comments below with your thoughts.

 

Why B4B model are so important in today’s digital consumer world?

Because mobile technology and the Internet have empowered consumers in a way that they are now more informed about market offers than the retailers trying to sell to them. Changing their minds or switching providers is now as easy as clicking a mouse. The combination of commoditization and the empowered customer is taking the fight to acquire and retain customers down to Consumer Centric Culture in today’s experience economy. Therefore business owners must be able to buy what the need in order to customise their customer’s requirement.

 

Today’s era is no longer B2C but C2B. Therefore B2B concept of “Make, Ship, Sell” no longer applicable and replace by B4B concept where allows retailers to buy “On Demand”.

 

B4B model encourages manufacturers to stop thinking about how they can sell more products and start thinking about understanding and actively working with retailers to arrive at a specific end result.

 

Applying B4B concept, market orders built the platform to bring “visibility of supply and Demand” for both retailers and manufacturers by “Digitization” the entire gold jewellery industry by Centralisation. Central network platform will successfully mapping out customer needs and desire, which will help retailer to practice customer centric culture in return.

 

Marketorders will help retailers to discover what their customer want, create great density with design and selection, transparent system and increase ability to tap to global sellers directly and faster, which will allow speed to market.

 

Now, using B4B concept, business owners will surround with customer-inspired culture. In today’s digital customer era, creating customer centric culture is top priority for all businesses especially independent small retailers to thrive in today’s customer first world.

 

Centralization allows data collection of every trade on the platform, that able to provide the insight and help grow the business of the participant on the platform with greater engagement to their customer closer. The building of technology embedded on MarketOrders platform are around customer experience and customer focus at the heart of the snowball effect.

 

The B4B concept with centralization network will help and built the ability of small business to be in control and success at scale.

 

By centralization of entire gold jewelry industry, it gives lens of visibility to participant of the platform to drive desired outcomes and creates opportunity to research and experiment using the collected data from marketorders platform. This process will give valued insight and able to re-create for each and every users to succeed at scale.

 

B4B concept model and technology built around customer experience and customer focus on Marketorders platform, help small business understand the customer needs and use the data available to drive the decision for their business success. The data can help participant traders to quantify the equation of the business and help them to operate efficiently and better.

 

Every facet of marketorders platform, architected to adopt at capturing and analyzing interaction and transaction of every trade data then turn those insight into actions that add-value to the participant of the platform collectively which will drive adoption for more business growth and ultimately lead in helping achieve targeted business outcome.

What is a B4B model and how can it impact the gold jewellery retailers & SMEs?

 

MarketOrders is modelling a B4B concept to enhance consumer centric culture among independent gold jewellery retailers.

B4B is ‘Business-For-Business’ and it differs from the traditional B2B model (Business-To-Business) by putting the SMEs at the heart of every transaction.

SMEs are empowered to source and order the products they want as opposed to the B2B model whereby manufacturers produce what they want and then push the products down the distribution channel with no regards as to what the SMEs need and want.

And the SME is the one who knows what they need as they face off to the end consumer on a daily basis.

By using MarketOrders, SMEs can tailor their orders to what they need and the data we collect helps them to analyse what products are selling the best. They can use this data to make better and informed decisions.

There is a severe lack of such data in the jewellery trade industry but these insights are imperative and needed.

MarketOrders will be building out a detailed Data Dashboard for our SMEs so they can track and view what items sell the best.

They can use insights form this data to make better decisions and choices and ultimately be better placed to serve their end consumers. Such data can give them a competitive edge from all the other retailers, especially online, that they are now facing.

Are you a SME operating in the jewellery business? Please share your thoughts and tell us how MarketOrders can serve you better by leaving a comment below this post.

How Marketorders is Enabling The Future Of Independent Retailers through Centralisation on a Global Scale

 

MarketOrders is a marketplace-connecting retailers to manufacturers. We call this a Business-For-Business concept (B4B).

 

What makes this approach different from traditional Business-To-Business (B2B) is that retailers are at the heart of key decisions on the MarketOrders platform.

 

Volume buyers are no longer the only ones with purchasing power. We champion the smaller retailers by helping them to get access to the manufacturers and products they need at the best possible price.

 

Our platform has been created on a secure base layer featuring On-Demand, Order-Aggregation processes.

 

Multiple orders from various different retailers are pulled together via our Smart Router mechanism. This becomes the primary source of business value as physical processes are turned into real-time data flow amongst a network of retailers and manufacturers. This allows the business owners to achieve economies of scale.

 

Why should retailers use the MarketOrders Platform?

Here are a few reasons as to why we believe retailers would benefit from using our platform that has been designed with the retailers specifically in mind.

 

  1. No central point of failure.
  2. Support global scaling.
  3. Lowering cost and enhancing quality.
  4. Increase communications and sharing best practice.
  5. Brings transparency on price, purity and supply chain.
  6. Business practice becomes faster, relevant and cost effective.

How does the MarketOrders platform work?

 

MarketOrders aims to be a single, unified and centralised platform creating the ultimate marketplace for the gold jewellery trade industry.

 

The aim of the marketplace is to consolidate the entire supply chain vertically from back-end production to front-end consumption across a network of retailers and manufacturers around the globe.

 

This allows the ‘middleman’ to be cut away from the process bringing greater efficiencies to the supply chain.

 

 

MarketOrders not only empowers the independent retailers (SME’s) but also makes it possible for them to be in.

 

MarketOrders is ushering in a digital revolution for traditional brick and mortar jewellery shops. This will allow them to face other digital challenges such as online jewellery shops and be better able to compete with the rise of the experience economy.
