Newest Application in TraceGains Gather™ Platform Expands Supplier Capabilities and Analytics, Empowering Suppliers to Secure New Sales and Ensure Customer Success

WESTMINSTER, Colo., Sept. 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- TraceGains, the food and beverage industry's only networked ingredients marketplace, today announced the launch of TraceGains Sales Hub, the newest application in the TraceGains Gather™ platform. Sales Hub empowers ingredient suppliers to better compete in today's increasingly dynamic global raw food environment by amplifying their presence on the TraceGains Marketplace with the ability to identify and capitalize on high-quality leads, expedite sales processes, and enhance customer satisfaction.

"Sourcing is so much easier with TraceGains Gather," said David Phuong, QA Director, Snak-King. "Our R&D team was able to quickly find several suppliers for a hard-to-find ingredient. In the past, we had to use a search engine for sourcing, and it would take twice as long."

As the global food and beverage ingredients market grows rapidly, sales and marketing professionals in the supplier sector often face challenges in their roles, including emails, cold calls, and lengthy waits for customer inquiries. TraceGains Sales Hub allows suppliers to market their products on a dedicated global marketplace exclusively designed for food and beverage industry services. This innovative platform connects suppliers with buyers who are actively seeking ingredients and new supplier relationships, and know precisely what they need, facilitating a smoother and more efficient transaction and helping suppliers sell more in a highly competitive world.

"Suppliers are the lifeblood of our marketplace, and we're continually looking for innovative ways to enhance their presence and streamline connections with brands," said Emma Karp, Product Manager, TraceGains. "For years, we've pushed back against single-use portals and burdensome, one-off processes, helping suppliers serve multiple customers at once. TraceGains Sales Hub is the next logical step for our Gather platform, creating that same experience for suppliers looking to reach new markets and grow their businesses. This exciting innovation is poised to transform the way ingredient suppliers operate, allowing them to focus on what they do best while getting more direct leads from active buyers, leaving the guesswork and confusion behind."
