What a dental marketplace can deliver: three supplier examples

Before joining a dental marketplace, every supplier asks the same thing: what do I really gain? The answer varies a lot from company to company, and the best way to understand it is to look at concrete cases.

Here are three examples. They are hypothetical cases, built on typical situations in the sector, to show where the value comes from: compare them with your own situation.

First example: a small manufacturer with two agents covering three regions. Outside those regions it does not sell, not because its products are of no interest, but because nobody reaches those practices. On the marketplace its products appear to practices nationwide when they search for that type of product. Every order from outside its area is a new customer, found without a trip and without an extra agent.

There is also a less visible gain: after a few months it knows which products are ordered and from where. That information guides the choices of its agents and its catalogue.

Second example: a dental depot that receives one hundred orders a month by phone, email and WhatsApp. If each order takes ten minutes between reading, clarifying and typing, that is more than sixteen hours a month. Every customer who switches to ordering online frees up time: the order arrives with the exact code, the quantity, the invoicing details and the payment already made.

And for online orders there are no bad debts and no reminders: the customer pays when ordering, and the depot is paid once delivery is confirmed.

Third example: a niche manufacturer that has never sold abroad, because a trade fair, a distributor or an agent in another country are investments too big just to try. On the marketplace its products appear in eight languages, and VAT between European businesses is handled automatically.

The first orders from Germany, Spain or Poland tell it which countries respond. At that point it knows where it makes sense to invest in a fair or look for a distributor, and it knows before spending money to find out.

In all three cases the value has the same origin: reaching where you do not reach today, and doing it with less work. Getting started requires no investment: the first 180 days on Oralzon come with no subscription fee, and the catalogue is uploaded from your Excel price list.

In all honesty, Oralzon is in its launch phase, and results come with time and well-kept product pages. But it is also the moment when competition is at its lowest.

The simplest way to understand what it could deliver for you is to see the dashboard: you can explore it in a demo store, without signing up.

In short: a dental marketplace brings customers where agents do not reach, frees hours of work on orders, eliminates bad debts on online orders, opens foreign markets without fairs or distributors and shows which countries respond, and getting started takes just your Excel price list and the first 180 days with no subscription fee.
