Productpilot - the B2B platform for effective sourcing
Productpilot is a new worldwide internet product platform which effectively supports sourcing in ecommerce. International trade visitors, professional buyers, vendors as well as supply chain management from different industries will be able to use the online tool provided by Messe Frankfurt. A B2B search engine is the ideal solution for an efficient and targeted search for business and industry information. In order to abolish misunderstandings, an online translator supports the users.
Productpilot is a supplement to trade fairs organised by Messe Frankfurt, the internationally renowned service provider for exhibition and event organisation. Throughout the year, trade fair by trade fair, all exhibiting companies and their products will be transferred form the “offline” world, the exhibitions, to the online world of the internet. As Productpilot is a virtual marketplace, information is provided in English. Depending on the origin of a company, innovation and product information or different trends might be presented in French, German or Spanish.
Productpilot provides an ideal communication platform for supply chain and purchasing professionals, for observing competitors and for identifying new customers. Business matching, sourcing and scouting has never been that easy. The industry database supports tremendously business matching which is Messe Frankfurt’s core competence. Although using the platform, searching the database and contacting exhibitors is free, Messe Frankfurt recommends a registration for exhibitors as they can only be found then by the search engine. Messe Frankfurt also recommends updating information regularly. Therefore, Productpilot becomes a valuable tool before a trade show for pre-planning, and after an exhibition for follow-ups and order placing. The extensive address directory provides addresses and email addresses. As the platform is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, Productpilot is the ideal tool for your products and brands to be found on the world market every day.
Business Matching means, that business partners with the same interests identify themselves in the market and are brought together. Sourcing refers to the search for new supply sources such as suppliers. Scouting stands for the search for new products, services or trends. As Messe Frankfurt annually hosts more than 120 events worldwide, there will soon be more than 20,000 exhibitors of Messe Frankfurt and 120,000 products. Branches are diversified: they range from textile, consumer goods and automotive to architecture and technology industries.
