25 April 2024 \u2013 <\/span><\/b>Rithum, the world\u2019s most trusted e-commerce network, has been appointed by UK home improvement retailer, B&Q, to support the retailer\u2019s marketplace expansion by drastically reducing the time it takes for brands to be onboarded to the B&Q website.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rithum\u2019s collaboration with B&Q will offer a more efficient and user-friendly experience for sellers on B&Q\u2019s marketplace, and halve the time taken to onboard new sellers. It opens up new opportunities for home and DIY sellers seeking to expand their reach across diverse sales channels.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Philip Hall, Managing Director for EMEA at Rithum added:<\/p>\n

\u201cConsumers are more often than not shopping around for the best price, and even traditionally brick and mortar sectors are becoming more present online. Home improvement became a big focus during lockdown and being able to bring new products online quickly and efficiently will be essential to success as trends evolve.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOur collaboration will mean B&Q can easily expand its inventory catalogue and strengthen customer and supplier relations. Tools like automated SKU conversion, product discovery, and supplier and product performance insights give them the flexibility to launch and manage any partnership model. All essential factors in helping to support growth.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Joanna McKew, Head of Business Development at B&Q commented: \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span><\/b>We\u2019re committed to continually expanding our range at B&Q marketplace, and being able to onboard new products quickly is crucial to this so that we can give customers even more choice to help make it easier to improve their homes.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
