"Using email or having a website are very obvious ways in which businesses can participate in e-business. But perhaps just having a website that promotes your business or emailing clients is only scratching the surface of what is possible. Some businesses would benefit from participating in an online marketplace involving the businesses from whom they buy (ie below them in the supply chain) and the businesses to whom they sell (ie those above them in the supply chain). This kind of online market place is often referred to as an e-marketplace."
Plastopedia Marketplace resembles the above online architecture to provide an electronic exchange where Plastic firms can register as sellers or buyers to communicate and conduct business over the Internet. Plastic firms representing each section in a supply-chain could join Plastopedia Marketplace to transfer information on plastics and purchase plastic products, raw materials or machinery.
Services offered by Plastopedia Marketplace include business directory listings, electronic catalogues for online purchasing of plastic products, raw materials, machines, services and trading services.
There has been significant rationalisation in the number of Plastic Portals operating over the last few years, and careful consideration is needed before making a commitment to join any one of them, to determine whether it is appropriate for your Plastic business growth and needs.
What Plastopedia Marketplace offers
Advantages of joining Plastopedia Marketplace include:
- greater opportunities for suppliers and buyers to make new trading partnerships, either within their supply-chain or across supply-chains
- the potential to lower the costs of negotiating and making transactions with automation of standard business procedures
- the potential for more transparent pricing as buyers and sellers take the opportunity to trade in a more open environment
- the potential to access global markets.
