Marketboomer provides the following key benefits to suppliers:
1) Lower Cost of Sale - It reduces the cost of doing business with Marketboomer enabled purchasers through:
a) Less Errors- It reduces errors and confusion with customer Purchase Orders (PO's). PO's generated in Marketboomer are printed and automatically contain the suppliers product codes and prices. They clearly list the products the purchaser wishes to purchase along with all the purchasers contact information. No more unintelligible handwriting or voice mails or arguments about what was actually ordered and by whom.
b) Less Purchase Orders (PO's) and Deliveries - Marketboomer helps reduce the number of PO's ill disciplined Purchasers send out and it can help reduce the number of delivery runs they require. Purchasers can control when PO's get sent from the system and they can consolidate PO's from different areas in their operation into one PO. This means they can stop staff placing multiple PO's (when they should be sending just one PO) and improve the way they do business with you, often resulting in less delivery runs.
c) Better Customer Compliance - Customers using ActivePurchaser have the ability to be much more compliant to agreements with Marketboomer enabled suppliers, especially for groups of hotels. Through ActivePurchaser, hotel groups can guarantee 100% compliance to agreements they negotiate with their suppliers, plus they can produce the reports that will prove it.

2) Cutting Edge Solution - It gives you access to a cutting edge eCommerce solution (ActiveSupplier) which will enable you to meet customer demands for an online capability and compete with suppliers who are already 'online'. Business activities are increasingly moving onto the Internet and ActiveSupplier is a great way to get going with eCommerce at a very low up front cost. ActiveSupplier can also integrate with most supplier computer systems if required.

3) Streamlines Accounts Receivable - Through ActiveSupplier you can send online Invoices to Marketboomer Purchasers, speeding up your payment cycles. Marketboomer also helps resolve discrepancies and Debit/Credit Note issues.

4) Better Information - Through ActiveSupplier you can run reports on which products your Marketboomer customers are purchasing, ensuring you are aware of their requirements.

5) Online Backup - ActiveSupplier provides a useful online backup for your catalogue and pricing information. If your own computer systems failed, you'd be able to retrieve this information from your ActiveSupplier solution.

6) Better Communication - Through ActiveSupplier you can communicate with your Marketboomer customers and update your pricing and the status of their PO's online without having to call them.

7) New Business - Through ActiveSupplier you can gain access to new customers. Once set up in Marketboomer suppliers are notified every time a new purchaser joins the system. Marketboomer makes it much easier for suppliers to start trading with new customers (that are set up on Marketboomer).

8) Level Playing Field - Marketboomer provides a level playing field for suppliers to compete on for a customers business. It makes the purchasers decision more objective, transparent and fair and eliminates any risk of prejudice or unfair behaviour.

9) Requires No Prior Computer Skills - Marketboomer will work with suppliers of all technological capability and experience from those with no computer systems at all to those with very sophisticated capabilities.
