LloydsPharmacy onboard with RangeMe as platform launches in UK
US-based product discovery and sourcing platform RangeMe has launched in the UK.
Buyers at British retailers will now be able to source over 750,000 products and connect with more than 200,000 suppliers. LloydsPharmacy is an early adopter of the platform on these shores.
RangeMe first launched in 2013 and is used today by over 12,000 retailers in the US, including Walmart, Ulta Beauty, Walgreens, and Albertsons.
“Consumers are looking for a variety of products from all over the world and sourcing them online,” says Nicky Jackson, CEO at RangeMe.
“The British public is no different, yet high street retailers have struggled to offer these products in-store or online principally because they don’t have sight of all that’s available in the market.”
“RangeMe will change this for retailers bringing more choice to shopping aisles and a significant revenue opportunity. We will pick up the heavy lifting for buyers and present the global product market opportunity in one screen”.
“We pride ourselves on offering the widest range of products that meet the highest standards for consumers,” comments John Acland, Head of Category Management and E-commerce at McKesson UK, parent company to LloydsPharmacy.
“RangeMe is already helping us to identify a wider spread of products for our customers. Equally importantly, we will quickly scale our buying operations through the platform and reduce the time to get more products on our shelves.”
