What does it
cost?
Marketboomer will charge you (the supplier) a per
order fee, depending on how you receive it:
$0.90 for self-collect (if you log-on to Marketboomer and
download the order yourself)
$1.65 for e-mail orders (if you would like to receive the order per
e-mail)
$2.95 for a fax order.
Additionally there is a $185 annual fee if you
are trading with any IHG property in one state and $300 for all
states.
You will only ever be charged for Purchase
Orders that you accept from customers that you approve in
advance.
Will my
relationship with IHG change?
No. You will still maintain a direct
commercial relationship with IHG. Marketboomer simply helps improve
their internal processes in relation to placing orders with you.
Marketboomer automates many of the tasks that they would previously
have had to do manually (like entering your product codes, standing
at a fax machine etc). As such, it is no more than a business tool,
just like a fax machine.
Purchase Orders generated by Marketboomer
enabled purchasers are sent directly and instantly (via
Marketboomer's online supplier solution, ActiveSupplier) from
purchasers to their suppliers.
Suppliers can receive Purchase Orders in
whatever format they prefer (Fax, E- mail, Self Collect
or via one of a range of electronic formats).
If I
don’t have a computer or Internet access can I still
participate?
Yes. Marketboomer can support you by
loading your catalogue on their systems and sending your Purchase
Orders to you by Fax. You should contact Marketboomer soon as
possible to get your catalogue online.
Who can
participate with Purchasers through
Marketboomer?
Purchasers nominate the preferred suppliers they
wish to trade with through their Marketboomer application
ActivePurchaser. The implementation of Marketboomer within the
purchasers business will ensure that their hotels become more
compliant to deals negotiated with preferred suppliers and that
they conduct their purchasing online via Marketboomer.
As a supplier,
is my catalogue information and pricing
confidential?
Yes. Your pricing and commercial
information is completely private, you can’t see any pricing
or turnover information from other suppliers and they can’t
see yours. Only those businesses that you choose to provide pricing
information to can see your catalogue. You can manage different
pricing structures for different customers.
