SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The world's largest product discovery and sourcing platform, RangeMe, has today expanded its industry standard service offering by giving U.S. retail buyers the ability to now purchase products directly from suppliers. This has created the world's largest wholesale marketplace for retailers by the sheer volume of buyers and suppliers already using RangeMe for product discovery. The capability will boost regional and independent retailers who can now order the products that they source on RangeMe, helping to get them on their shelves or listed online faster. 

An unparalleled sales and marketing channel, RangeMe is the only platform of its kind that gives suppliers the opportunity to create a B2B digital storefront and open up new direct sales channels, while also putting their products in front of buyers from the largest retailers in the world including Walmart, CVS, Albertsons, Ulta Beauty, 7-Eleven, Tesco, Coles (AU), Petco, and many more.

This new capability will be transformational for buyers and will provide suppliers with unprecedented opportunity to grow their business. We are looking to continue rolling this out to U.S. retailers and suppliers across all major CPG categories this year."

With more than 200,000 suppliers representing nearly 1 million products across all CPG categories, RangeMe will showcase its expanded service offering at the upcoming 2022 Global Market: Spring Buying Days which brings together suppliers and retail buyers from all over the world to connect, meet virtually, and do business.
