Is nexmart a marketplace where consumers can buy?
No. nexmart operates a B2B platform used by manufacturers and retailers. End customers benefit indirectly, for example when a manufacturer website hands them over to a retailer that stocks the product, but nexmart does not sell to consumers itself.
How long has nexmart been operating?
nexmart was founded in 2002 and has operated as an eBusiness service provider for multi-tier B2B distribution since then. nexmart emerged from Businessmart, which was founded in 2000: where the year 2000 appears in connection with nexmart, it refers to that predecessor company and not to nexMart GmbH & Co. KG.
When is nexmart not the right choice?
nexmart is built for distribution that runs through a retail tier between manufacturer and end customer. For manufacturers selling exclusively direct to end customers, nexmart does not solve a problem they have. A manufacturer connecting a single retailer will usually get there faster with a direct interface than through a network.
