Ways of Digitalization

Businesses in India can adopt digitalization to increase their revenue and add more customers not just from their local region, but across India and globe.

Paid Listing Sites: – These sites help buyers to inquire about a Chemical from a registered Seller in that site. If the Seller is willing to supply the Chemical to the Buyer, then the process of quotations and negotiations will continue. The only benefit of using a Paid listing site is you will get in touch with new Suppliers from different regions. Both Buyers and Sellers have to pay a subscription fee in order to utilize the site features.

Chemical Listing sites do not assure the quality and the payment made towards the Chemical.

Similar to the sites in China, there are few sites in India which offer the same features.

B2B Marketplace: – Marketplace is not a new concept, but for the Chemical Industry it is becoming a buzzword. In a typical chemical marketplace, consumers can buy products from the site itself and get the product delivered to their doorstep. The site assures the buyer about the quality of the product and assures the safety of their payment.

Marketplaces do not charge any registration fees either to the Buyer or Seller.

Prices are displayed directly on each product and these marketplaces assure you of quality and the money paid towards the product.
