Buying Association Groups

Associations discovering big potential of marketplaces

Platforms managed by associations open up great potential in e-commerce, which neither chain stores nor generalists can match. This is creating new and strong marketplaces with a correspondingly diverse range of products and services, including on-site local services. The range of functions available out-of-the-box to association groups for the digitization of their members is unique in this form and the strongest "Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS)" solution in the market.

A strong trade association

7 reasons for a Platoyo platform

Digitization of members

Digitization of members is still a big challenge for many association groups. Platoyo helps with automated web presences, one common online platform, product data management & extensive trainings.

Product data management

The association group platform centrally records the product data of suppliers & brands. This allows maximum flexibility in dealing with different data of the members.

Member loyalty

A strong IT infrastructure is the basis of the association group platform and creates advantages for all participating companies.

Low cost

A common platform at the association group level is much cheaper than the sum of all the expenses that members would have to incur individually for digitization.

New revenue opportunities

Platform operators participate in the sales of their members with a transaction fee and optional basic fees.

Greater reach

The platform achieves much higher SEO effects than the efforts of individual members.

Control inventories

Members permanently report their inventories to the platform. This data can also be used to optimize purchasing and logistics.
