| Increase your product offerings and purchasing power by dealing directly with the manufacturers in real-time, anywhere in the world! SeaportX will allow you to order in any quantity from any manufacturer, regardless of the manufacturer's ordering policies. Your orders will be automatically consolidated and share space on a container, trailer, or rail car. Your orders can also be dropped shipped directly to your customers so you don't have to take possession or use expensive wearhouse space. The SeaportX platform will also provide you with a complete online store for both internal and external ordering. It will track all your shipments in real-time and manage all your customers, your accounts, and even your inventory.
Here's a simplified illustration of how it works. |
|
 |
 |
Quickly and easily set up your online store using your own templates or ours. |
 |
Create your own unique catalog of products from multiple categories and manufacturers. Choose from hundreds of thousands of products and begin selling the same day. There are no contracts or agreements to sign with manufacturers, we've already done that for you. We also attend Market regularly and continually add to your product options. |
 |
All purchases are processed automatically and forwarded to the correct manufacturer and the appropriate funds sent in the correct currency. |
 |
Your orders will be sorted and loaded into the correct container and if your order is less than a full load, the remaining space will be shared with another purchaser. All shipments are trackable. You'll be able to see when your shipment has closed on the manufacturer's dock and when it leaves the terminal or port. You'll also be able to track it overland right up to your door or your customer's door. |
 |
If you choose to drop-ship, your customer will also be able to track their shipment. If there are any problems with the product, your customer can facilitate the return themselves online. Our system will automatically contact the responsible parties and facilitate the return and replacement. Doing business is just a whole lot easier with SeaportX. |
How much does it cost?
SeaportX charges a one-time integration fee of $349.00 (USD). There are no further fees for the life of your account.
