The dealer marketplace is not open yet; it needs enough dealers in each area and a dispute process. Meanwhile, aged stock reports help you decide what to clear.
Not available yet
This capability opens only after it passes the required review. This page explains what it is and what you can use in the meantime.
Dealer Exchange is a marketplace for stores that want to move stock to dealers, and for dealers who want to buy devices from many stores. It is not open yet.
The idea behind Dealer Exchange
-
The selling store stays anonymous: dealers see the item and its condition, never the store's customers or cost price.
-
Prices from competition: dealers make offers and the store picks the best one.
-
Separate from retail: trading with dealers is a different kind of transaction from a counter sale, so its profit can be seen separately.
What you can use today
-
Stock age and aged stock reports shows which items have been in stock too long and should be discounted or cleared, with a suggested price.
-
Model performance and days-to-sell report shows which models sell fast and which to buy less of.
-
Stores with several branches can transfer items to the branch that sells them better, on Intelligence and up.
What is not open yet
-
Listing items for dealers to see
-
Receiving offers from dealers, and the Dealer bid notification
-
Separate document types for buying from and selling to dealers
-
The add-on package for dealers
Why it is not open yet
A marketplace like this only gets good prices when there are enough dealers in each area to compete, and it needs a clear process for disputes. So this part opens only when both are ready.
What to do meanwhile
-
Check the aged stock report every week and decide to discount or clear items before capital stays tied up for long.
-
To hear when it is ready, sign up on Dealer Exchange.
