Become a retailer
Essmart takes a deliberate approach to working with diverse network of shops across all product categories. For each shop that we add to our network, Essmart approaches the shop with “starter basket” of offerings that are most likely to fit with the shop’s existing product portfolio. From here, Essmart helps shops to expand their offerings and grow their business.
Test your products
We work with suppliers to offer product and market testing services that give them access to vital customer input during product design and commercialization process, increasing the livelihood of a product’s successful distribution. We do this by providing user feedback and testing services by leveraging our network of end customers and mom-and-pop shops.
We work closely with stakeholders across the logistics and technology development ecosystem. From suppliers to local retailers and partners interested in collaborating on increasing the projects.
