Easily liquidate slow moving and dead inventory

The Pricingnet Market allows a simple alternative to help dispose of slow or dead inventory.  By placing the item for sale on the Pricingnet Market, you can advertise the availability of your excess stock directly and only to the trade.  Since the market is open only to the Distributors, Manufacturers and Independent Representatives, you won't disrupt your existing customer relationships by communicating inappropriate pricing information.

Find new sources of supply for quickly selling, hard to locate items

A hot new product, a damaging electrical storm, a massive customer order can cause problems for a purchasing department if your traditional sources of supply are not expecting a large increase in volume.  The manufacturer may be back ordered but usually, inventory is available with other distributors and sales organizations around the country and across the world.  With the Pricingnet Market, you can easily locate these backordered items and meet the service levels your customers have grown to expect.

Find lower cost supplies of low volume regular items

It is time consuming to negotiate pricing with your manufacturers.  You need to focus on your highest volume products, where you can guarantee a volume before you'll get the big discounts.  Sometimes, a high volume buyer gets caught with excess stock due to cancelled end-user orders, excess trade show buying or just a purchasing error.  With the Pricingnet Market, you can now locate these items and purchase at prices below your negotiated discount level.  You help purchase his overstock, he helps you with a better price than you get directly.

Identify new trading partners

With the Pricingnet Market you'll find new trading partners located around the world.  You'll understand the products they stock and what they offer back to the trade.  

Protect your existing industry relationships

The Pricingnet Market is a restricted marketplace.  Only existing, established  firms operating as either Distributors, Manufacturers or Independent Sales Representatives are allowed access to the system.  Once gaining access, data visibility is restricted based upon the firms main function within the trade.  Therefore, manufacturers are not able to view any of the distributor's contact information.  They'll know 35 widgets are available at $22 each.  They are restricted from viewing which firm is offering the widgets at this price and quantity.

Since end-users and contractors are not allowed access to the system, your existing relationships are protected from price and inventory position disclosure.

No unpredictable auction prices

Pricingnet does not collect any transactions fees. 

We operate a fixed price market, the seller advertises a product at a specific price.  You'll receive the item at the price offered.  With auctions, you need to continuously monitor the system to track erratically moving prices.  By creating a fixed price market, we enable you to have a more predictable and reliable source of supply. 

No software upgrades or changes to existing order processing systems

The Pricingnet Market is entirely web-based and does not require you to purchase any new software or modify any of your existing purchasing procedures.
