6 reasons for a retail cooperatives platform 

Retail cooperatives cannot avoid having their own commerce platform if they want to offer their members modern marketing and sales channels, expand their reach, and remain competitive in the digital age.

    Achieve success together with a commerce platform!

Digitalization of members

Digitalization from a single source! With Platoyo, it's easy to achieve a shared commerce platform, impactful online shops, and centralized product data management.

Product data

Centralized import of product data from suppliers and brands via the retail cooperatives platform. This ensures data is standardized, always up-to-date, and easily accessible to all members.

Member retention

A strong IT infrastructure creates advantages for all participating companies, such as synergy effects, increased revenue, process optimization, and improved image. This ensures long-term member retention!

SEO effects

Search engine optimization (SEO) is complex! By combining resources on a shared platform, members collectively achieve a much stronger SEO impact than individual members could on their own. The result: increased visibility and consequently higher sales!

Inventory management

The shared platform provides an overview of the current product inventories of individual members. This data can also be used to optimize purchasing and logistics.

Cost efficient

A shared platform is much more cost-effective than the total expenses members would incur if digitalizing individually. This minimizes the financial burden on individual members while maximizing the benefits.

Use Case Bagmondo

Goldkrone is Europe's largest retail cooperative in the leather goods industry. With the shared online marketplace bagmondo.de, the local presence of members was to be strengthened, linking stationary and online commerce, and making members fit for the future.

The challenge: skeptical sellers, limited resources, and a tight schedule.

The result: a modern central online marketplace with individual online shops for the sellers. Tailored to the members' wishes and easy to use.
