We conducted various research and studied the issues faced by several retailers in tier II and Tier III cities, carefully understood them and now want to attempt resolving them with the help of our dedicated team@industrybuying and our wide network of sellers, and of course our franchises.

Problems that you, as a seller might have faced:

1. Many a times, industries in your city ask for different brands, but you are unable to provide the same at the ‘’ask price’’ as it involves travelling to the main Market, contacting the manufacturer and many-a-times, losing margins to middle men.
2. New products require further sourcing, which consume retailers’ time and money.
3. Space constraints for stocking.
4. Logistics charges unable the retailers to serve their lead customers outside the city.
5. Credit is always a risk zone. It is a time consuming process and many a times retailers end up losing the opportunities at hand.
6. Keeping a track of Industrial Markets to plan inventory and assortments with limited access to data across India across categories can be a tedious task. Moreover, quantitative analysis is impossible, and hiring a consultancy (which many big trading firms do) is quite expensive.
