About efoodmanager

The efoodmanager system and efoodmanager’s website is divided into three main areas: the Open Marketplace where buyers and sellers can trade openly or anonymously amongst themselves; Individual Company Marketplaces where buyers trade only with pre-selected parties and their own catalogues and the Services area where buyers and sellers can take advantage of the logistics, packaging, insurance, financial services, information, business directories and food produce directories managed by efoodmanager.

The Open fruit and vegetables, fish and seafood marketplaces went online in July this year. The marketplaces for meat, poultry, dairy products, pre- finished and branded products will be introduced later in the year.

efoodmanager focuses on the procurement needs of supermarket chains, manufacturers, producers and bulk buyers — as well as the selling needs of suppliers and traders, including the inter-trading between traders. Initially free to join, efoodmanager will generate its revenues through transaction fees on products and services sourced via the site, as well as fees for building and hosting the Individual Company Marketplaces.

efoodmanager currently employs people from across the food, e-Commerce and management consultancy industries, and has offices in France, Germany, UK and Spain. Please visit www.efoodmanager.com
