A word on Plusto. Although E-commerce is made up of Business-to-Business (B2B),Business-to-consumer (B2C) and Consumer-to-Business (C2B), it is becoming clearlyevident that B2B holds the most potential. While the global B2C E-commerce is expectedto grow from $164 billion in 2006 to $320 billion by 2010  (eMarketer, January 2007), B2B isforecast to grow from $1.2 trillion to $16 trillion. Little wonder that the focus world-over, is now on B2B E-commerce.

Three different forms of B2B exchanges exist. 

The first category is buyer-controlled. It is a consortium of buyers who aggregate theirpurchases. The recently-formed consortium among DaimlerChrysler, Ford and GeneralMotors (to which Toyota recently joined) is an example. By this process the buyers arelooking to efficiently manage the procurement process; lowering administration cost,and ensureing uniform pricing.

The second category is seller-controlled. Here the sellers who cater to fragmentedmarkets such as chemicals and auto components come together to create a commontrading place for the buyers. While the sellers aggregate their market power, simplifiyingthe buyer’s search for alternative sources.

The third category is third-party exchanges that are neither buyers nor sellers. Theythrive purely on the fees generated by matching buyers and sellers. It is only in thisinstance that a free market can be established and user confidence can be built.

Plusto is the first business 2 business trading hub that creates a free market by facilitatingactual transactions, and provides all the tools necessary for its users to make informedbusiness decisions about trading both nationally and internationally.

About Cargokey

Our Relationshipwith FedEx

The has three sources of revenue:

Its pre-IPO stock will generate revenue to provide grants to numerous non-profit groups andsocial development causes.

Plusto’s staff, including its executive, contributes towards the PLUSFoundation directly, andalso creates teams which drive charitable causes and programs. Plusto’s staff and executivesform the backbone of the PLUSFoundation and can recommend any non-profit organisationfor funding.

Plusto users are also able to contribute to the PLUSFoundation through PLUSGive, wherebya part of the proceeds of the sale of goods (10-100%), is donated by the user to a charity oftheir choice. In this circumstance, Plusto donates a matching percentage of its revenue earnedfrom the transaction to the charity. All PLUSGive charities need to be approved by thePLUSFoundation.

PLUSFoundation

TheFoundation is a representation of the principlesand culture of the company, and carries throughfrom the Executive Team, Staff, Industry andCountry Partners and even Plusto’s users.

In Summary

When you decide to get involved in the world of eCommerce,make sure that your platform provides you with all the toolsthat you need to be successful in achieving your goals, andensures that your product and service information is pro-activelybeing made available to relevant potential buyers.

Imagine yourself in the London Underground for the firsttime with no help desk, map or knowledge of routes,connecting stations or transit times. It's pretty easy to getlost in the confusion of busy networks.

Most websites are simply online brochures, which float aimlessly on the busiest network in theworld, the internet, hoping to be accidentally discovered by the right users looking for the productsor services that the website displays. The intelligence of search engines has made it easier for usersto find relevant websites, but there are still limited tools available that can be actively used bycompanies to ensure that thier products are part of a highly relevant network, where the productsupply of one company is accurately linked to the product requirement of another company.

Plusto is the world's most highly relevant and effective commercial andindustrial hub, and now you can benefit by owning a PLUSWebsite.

Your website and its associated eCommerce tools will ensure that it is not just an online brochure, but aworking technology that helps you grow your market, provides your customers with all the informationthey require to make informed business decisions, and ultimately make you more profitable.

At Plusto we ensure that your website is a functional working asset,and are continuosly ensuring that your products and services are beingpro-actively marketed and promoted in the most effective way possible.
