A B2B portal where suppliers and buyers in India deal directly

What a B2B marketplace does

A B2B (business-to-business) marketplace is a website where one business sells goods to another in bulk. A buyer can compare several suppliers in one search instead of calling traders one by one, and a supplier can reach buyers outside their own city. On Bikwao, every listing shows the quantity, the minimum order, the condition of the goods, the city where they are kept and the price, or "price on request".

Two kinds of stock on one site

New stock is regular wholesale supply from manufacturers, distributors and wholesalers: fresh goods in full packing that the seller can supply again. Surplus stock is goods a business wants to clear: stock lots, overstock, dead stock, cancelled export orders, factory seconds and customer returns. Each listing on Bikwao is marked as one or the other, so buyers know what they are looking at before they call.

Who uses Bikwao

• Manufacturers clearing production overruns or selling their regular range in bulk.
• Wholesalers and distributors listing their stock and replying to buy requirements in their categories.
• Retailers and resellers buying stock lots and wholesale goods at a lower price to resell.
• Factories and contractors buying raw material, machinery, tools and spares.
• Exporters selling export surplus in India when an overseas order is cancelled.

How Bikwao is different from a broker

A broker takes a percentage of the deal and often keeps the buyer and seller apart. Bikwao takes no commission. Buyers call, WhatsApp or send an enquiry to the seller, agree the price themselves and pay the seller directly. Bikwao earns only from optional seller memberships and banner ads.
