Collective purchasing benefits the consumer by increasing their purchasing power and granting them access to a broader range of products. Through buying in bulk and bypassing retail, consumers also save substantially on their grocery bill.
At its core, Wholeshare has two major components: an online marketplace and online group ordering. The marketplace allows people to find out what collective purchasing options are available in their area. Once connected to a wholesale seller, consumers are able to place orders right on the site.
Unlike your standard online ordering system, Wholeshare is focused on group purchasing: It automatically aggregates individual orders and payment into one group order. Doing so gives consumers their own individual shopping experience while allowing sellers to treat the group as a single wholesale client.
