BRUSSELS, March 7th, 2024 - Trademart and Orderchamp go omnichannel! Under the 'Trademart on Orderchamp' proposition, retailers can now not only make in-person purchases from Trademart showrooms but also explore and buy online from a growing selection of Trademart brands, and, in addition, lots of inspirational Orderchamp brands. This empowers Trademart brands to unlock their omnichannel ambitions, and more exhibitors are added to the online assortment in the coming period. Orderchamp brands will also gain the opportunity to establish offline sales locations within the expansive 200,000 m² Trademart facility, creating inspiring shop-in-shops, to meet buyers in a radius of 150 km around Brussels.

 

This collaboration offers significant advantages for Trademart exhibitors selling from direct available stock, as well as their retail and project customers, who can now seamlessly transition to online purchasing. Beyond the larger online assortment, retailers can easily discover and acquire their preferred Trademart brands through a dedicated 'Trademart-branded user experience' on the Orderchamp platform. This not only elevates the visibility of offline exhibitors but also broadens the accessibility of their products to a wider audience.

“Within the retail industry, the integration of a physical location and a digital platform holds significant importance. It is imperative to maintain the tangible aspect of products in our sector. Simultaneously, we aim to facilitate easier communication between retailers and exhibitors through our online presence. The partnership with Orderchamp enables us to effectively execute our omnichannel strategy. - says Guy Stevens, CEO Trademart.

The ambitions of this collaboration are substantial, as Joost Brugmans, CEO of Orderchamp, affirms,  “In collaboration with Trademart, we are once again taking a big step to offer European buyers enhanced possibilities. Orderchamp's technology is utilized to provide Trademart exhibitors and retailers with a seamlessly integrated online experience, while our brands and buyers gain access to a physical location for omnichannel operations. Two market leaders mutually reinforcing each other and elevating the entire industry.

The benefits of this strategic partnership are immediately available to existing Trademart customers, and the platform welcomes new users to explore the enhanced shopping experience. Trademart and Orderchamp are dedicated to creating a seamless and innovative B2B commerce experience, marking a significant step forward in the evolving retail climate.
