Thanks to Nextrade, suppliers, brands and traders alike can save a great deal of time and money when placing orders. Normally, orders mean a considerable manual and time-consuming effort, for example when transferring them to the merchandise management system or when travelling to the business partners. With Nextrade, time-consuming fax and telephone orders and long journeys are completely eliminated. This allows all parties involved to concentrate on the selection of products to a high degree and also saves costs in order processing. The exchange between brand and retailer can be arranged via buyer appointments as needed. "We offer the industry more than 400 brands on one platform. This makes efficient digital ordering possible with just one login. Nextrade is therefore particularly interesting for repeat orders, because here retailers know which products they want to order from which brand and can do this easily and without spending a lot of time," says Nicolaus Gedat, Managing Director of nmedia GmbH.
In addition to re-ordering, retailers can also find new products and promotions from the brands on Nextrade. "Due to the cancellation of numerous consumer goods events in the first quarter, retailers lack an exchange with the industry and an overview of the latest product developments. Although Nextrade cannot replace personal exchange and the trade fair experience, we do offer retailers the opportunity to discover the brands' new product ranges digitally", explains Philipp Ferger, Member of the Board of Management of nmedia GmbH and Vice President Consumer Goods Shows at Messe Frankfurt.
In contrast to other providers, Nextrade only acts as an intermediary between the dealer and the brand for all order activities and offers the necessary technical know-how. The individual price and freight conditions are assigned directly by the brand for each dealer.
