Virtual Private Marketplaces
& Sourcing Initiatives
Connecting your people, to your suppliers, your way.
OUR STORY
Youtopia provides the software and support services for Virtual Private Marketplaces: an on-line portal with authorised access to approved products and services, configured to individual preferences.
Founded in 2011 with the belief clients should connect to their suppliers using their own software, not the suppliers’ online catalogues. This way our clients gain the convenience of a single point of contact (SPOC) to multiple suppliers, assured continuity, centrally negotiated pricing and greater control. Suppliers benefit from greater adoption of their approved range, plus simplified billing process.
Our work with marketing and operational teams of major organisations, led to Youtopia software including tools that facilitate related workflows eg requests for bespoke products, booking event items, campaign management and allocations.
Client ERP systems are typically focussed on the “front end” trading solution. The plans and needs for the “back of house” supply chain are often too far down the priority list or too expensive to be configured. Youtopia provides a cost-effective SaaS solution that is easy to use and easy to configure, readily meeting the needs of multi-branch organisations.
OUR SOLUTIONS
Youtopia’s portal is likened to Amazon for enterprise. Our clients select their suppliers, products and services plus how they want their supply chain configured. There’s a range of workflow tools to help with sourcing initiatives too.
We have designed the right mix of highly effective tools that are robust yet flexible and straight forward to install.
