With COVID-19 and the Delta variant still causing havoc on trade shows, industry events and travel, it has become difficult for retailers to connect with suppliers and expand their store brand product lines. TradeBeyond helps retailers connect directly with factories during these periods of limited face-to-face interaction. By bringing store brand retailers closer with their trusted suppliers for product discovery, product showcases and innovation sessions, both parties can collaborate to implement strategies to increase overall sales.

The platform effectively reduces the clutter and chaos that comes with typical retailer/supplier collaborations, such as the overwhelming number of emails, attachments, spreadsheets, large image files, texts, phone calls, WhatsApp messages and shared drives. All communication is hosted on a single secure and centralized location, updated in real-time.
TradeBeyond provides retailers with the ability to browse all of their supplier partners’ products, as well as securely add and share mood boards, images, color schemes and swatches to collections.
