JuiceMarketplace G2 offers eFruit’s members a faster, more intuitive environment in which to trade online. Screen update speed is up to five times faster than the original version, and the number of steps required to create a sales offer or purchase request has been cut in half. The upgrade also provides increased security by allowing data encryption up to 128 bits, the most secure commercial encryption currently available.

“We’ve been using JuiceMarketplace for quite some time to assist with product sales, and we’re very pleased with the increased functionality of the new version,” said Andre Lonsdorfer, Vice President of Tropical Products, Inc., a Lakeland, Fla.-based company that sells juice products worldwide. “It’s faster and even easier to use, and the new features allow us to spend more time on other aspects of our business.”

JuiceMarketplace G2 was developed in cooperation with several key members of the juice industry, and improves upon the overall business processes offered in the original version of JuiceMarketplace. It offers faster transaction processing, a more user-friendly interface, and a streamlined negotiation process, along with new functionalities.

“The new features included in JuiceMarketplace G2 remove several points of friction inherent to trading juice offline,” Gordon Hunt, executive vice president of eFruit International, said. “Our members are now able to perform even more of their everyday functions online while using JuiceMarketplace, saving them additional time and money.”
