What is bondedpro?
the market for brand name fast moving consumer goods is highly dynamic and stocks are often very hard to find.
Bondedpro, the online interface of a growing number of first-hand suppliers outsourcing the management of unrequited queries and orders, is the ideal place for professional buyers looking to save time in sourcing for brand name fmcgs.
The problem before bondedpro
professional buyers of brand name fmcgs often waste many hours exchanging emails with potential suppliers to verify if they do currently have the relevant stock. In addition to the dearth of stocks themselves, the price of the same stock can fluctuate widely between suppliers and seasoned buyers are used to wade through innumerable offers with unrealistic prices. When, finally, a supplier offers a stock with an acceptable price, it might be a trader at the end of a chain of an unknown number of intermediaries, who, unfortunately, is unaware that the original supplier already sold the stock he was still offering in good faith.
Hours upon valuable hours of work are thus spent by buyers looking for available stock and by suppliers answering emails and phone calls from buyers and wannabe buyers alike.
Genesis of the solution
this is the situation before the creation of bondedpro. initially, three suppliers decided to combine the management of queries about their stocks placed by new potential buyers and hired staff whose sole job was to filter the queries and only transfer those deemed of sufficient potential value. Gradually, this dedicated staff increased their acumen and suggested opening an online catalogue of available stock to cut down on the number of phone calls and emails purely aimed at checking if a requested stock is available and at what price.
This meeting took place just before the original three suppliers’ executives were about to fly to singapore for the annual trade convention. Whether during meetings or at the bar in the evening, the idea of an online catalog for suppliers was bandied about, the pros & cons of having competing suppliers offering similar stocks at various prices on the same platform and the potential benefit of eliminating hours of fruitless calls and emails whilst still catching bona-fide buyers won the day.
the solution
more suppliers joined the original three, a format was approved, an agent named to handle all transactions whilst preserving the suppliers’ anonymity and bondedpro was sent to developers to bring it to life.
And now, you can opt to benefit from having constant access to real stocks updated twice weekly, with a wealth of information available at your fingertips. The number of deals you will now close simply because you actually have the stock available at a click will soar faster than you can dream.
