List Your Stock

There are three separate methods of letting your reseller customers see prices within our site. We recognise that for many reasons, some Distributors offer resellers different prices for the same product. Our services are designed to support this, allowing for standard trade prices, tiered bands for groups of similar customers, as well as unique price lists for individual resellers.

1. Standard Prices: Distributors who have a single price for the channel can configure their account to automatically approve resellers to have immediate access to the standard trade price they provide in thier stock file. This works exceptionally well for parts suppliers who sell at set prices. Naturally, you may override the automatic process, and choose to manually approve each request.

2. Tiered Prices: Distributors who need to specify which price tier a reseller should see are sent an automatic email when a reseller applies for pricing. This contains a link to go to our site and allocate the reseller to a particular price tier.

Distributors using these two methods can use their Stock in the Channel account to view, manage and change which resellers have access to prices within Stock in the Channel.

3. Unique Pricing: For distributors with complex pricing, we provide resellers with direct access to your application process to see prices, often via a form on your website. Approved resellers then uses the credentials you provide to activate secure access to his unique prices on our site.

We create a microsite on Stock in the Channel’s website to provide information about you as a inventory source and showcase your products. This is how a reseller finds out about you as a new supplier for stock he is actively seeking, generating new account inquiries for your sales team.

As a search engine, many of our pages show multiple suppliers, but this site is entirely dedicated to you, your brand and all the products you sell – without mentioning any other suppliers. Products are categorised and matched with descriptions, allowing an easy understanding of your product range. Ask us about accessing this data for your own use. These pages can include video and graphics you specify, as well as providing contacts details and other useful information as you deem appropriate. Your account manager will work with you to build this site.
