Recommerce Redefined in Today’s Post-COVID Business Landscape
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly transformed the business landscape, resulting in a fundamental shift in business operations. Despite the end of the immediate crisis, its effects continue to linger. More than 250,000 businesses of all sizes in the United States have shuttered their doors, and research indicates that the fallout will continue until 2040. Hundreds of thousands of employees have been laid off or terminated as businesses alter their workstyles. However, new opportunities are emerging amid these ongoing challenges, including B2B recommerce in the furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E) sector.
As countless office buildings sit filled with furniture but not employees, there is a heightened, pressing need for businesses to buy or sell FF&E in bulk. Traditional online marketplaces such as Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace, while effective for individual consumer transactions, fall dramatically short in meeting the needs of businesses. They were not designed to handle the unique challenges of bulk transactions, nor were they equipped to handle complex shipping logistics.
