Staples Announces Roll-out Of Staples Exchange - Quick Facts

(RTTNews) - Office supplies retailer Staples Inc. (SPLS) Thursday announced the roll-out of Staples Exchange, a world-class platform that makes it easy for suppliers to offer products to Staples customers.

Staples Exchange is a unified platform that allows vendors to sell through all of Staples' e-commerce channels, with multiple integration options. Unlike other retailers, Staples does not require vendors to use a third party that charges integration fees, and instead give them a single portal to enroll with all of Staples' sites.

According to the company, once enrolled, vendors can upload their products and start receiving orders, with no-cost access to real time alerts, reporting by channel and self-service tools to manage their inventory.

Staples Exchange will benefit Staples' customers by providing them with a larger product assortment, post-shipment order tracking and even greater visibility into product inventory, the company added.
