Selling

Clients upload their produce to the Tradeforus marketplace, setting out their preferred selling criteria. Tradeforus traders then use their knowledge and expertise of the market to obtain the best available price for these sellers.

In doing this, we offer purchasers a one-stop-shop for their requirements. This allows for a sharing of efficiencies between the participants, as well as providing transparency and many other benefits.

Tradeforus uses technology and supply chain expertise to minimise distribution and collection costs by ensuring that we optimise the matching of buyer and seller locations. In doing this, Tradeforus reduces food miles and, in the case of livestock, improves animal welfare by reducing the farm-to-end point distance.

Buying

Clients that buy via Tradeforus have access to a one-stop shop for their purchasing requirements.

When a trade is confirmed, Tradeforus provides the purchaser with all the collection details of their purchase and allows them to execute the transaction with the seller.

In bringing this efficiency to the transaction, Tradeforus delivers increased value, which can then be shared by the parties.

Producer group management

For the members of producer groups and those who run them, Tradeforus makes life so much easier.

Tradeforus enables the combination of individual producers’ produce, making it easier to sell on a group basis. In addition, it enables the creation of a single collection point, depending on the group’s requirements.

Members can be easily added or removed from a group. Producer groups can be combined with others for the purpose of trading.

Alternatively, Tradeforus can tailor a solution whereby a producer group can appoint its own trader and use the Tradeforus technology to conduct their business.

Purchasing groups management

Tradeforus gives clients the ability to form various buying groups. Alternatively, Tradeforus can take on the day-to-day administration of existing groups across specific commodities. By combining demand, Tradeforus offers the ability to share in a better negotiated price.

Members can be easily added or removed from a group. Purchasing groups can be combined with others for the purpose of trading.

Suppliers who wish to bid for these “blocks of demand” will be set up on Tradeforus and given the opportunity to quote based on their location or region.

When a trade agreement is reached, the supplier and the purchasers are informed. After that, it’s business as usual, with the trading relationship remaining with the participants.
