MarketTime<\/a>, a leading provider of B2B eCommerce solutions, has launched an innovative Certified Vendor Partnership program that connects MarketTime users with a curated network of top-tier industry professionals and service providers who offer readily accessible resources and solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recognizing the diverse operational demands within these industries, MarketTime\u2019s new program aims to streamline access to essential services. Initial partnership categories include, but are not limited to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Logistics and Fulfillment: 3PL (Third-Party Logistics) providers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Data Management: Data entry and cleansing services<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Technical Development: API development and integration work<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Financial Operations: Commission and payroll processing support<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Content and Administration: Content management and general administrative assistance<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Technical Support: IT and technical assistance<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This program is designed to save MarketTime users valuable time and effort in sourcing reliable external support, allowing them to focus on core business activities and growth. The partners are vetted and certified by MarketTime to ensure a high standard of quality and industry expertise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first official Certified Vendor Partner is Core Elements<\/a>, which provides pre-show and on-site support including help with software updates, network configuration, printer\/scanner support, and more. This partnership comes at a time when the industry prepares for summer markets, offering immediate support to businesses who may be navigating their first show solely on the MarketTime platform, increased order volumes and operational demands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs a full-service Managed Services partner immersed in the Gift & Home industry, we understand the day-to-day pressures of showrooms, agencies, vendors, and reps,\u201d said Core Elements president Don McCoy. \u201cFrom stabilizing showroom Wi-Fi during market to resolving last-minute order entry issues, we\u2019re built to support the way this industry actually works. Our approach is consultative, responsive, and tailored \u2013 not generic \u2013 so you can focus on selling.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPartnering with Core Elements is a game-changer,\u201d said Dock Mackie, MarketTime\u2019s senior vp\/customer experience. \u201cTheir deep expertise in managed IT services means our customers get reliable, forward-thinking support that complements what we deliver. Together, we\u2019re creating a seamless experience that drives real results.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of this exciting initial launch, MarketTime and Core Elements will be hosting an in-person \u201cPre-Market Tune-Up\u201d for Order Writers, Monday, June 16 in Room 462 in the Dallas World Trade Center. Choose from two sessions: 9:30-11:30am or 2:30-4:30pm. This event will provide valuable insights and practical tips to help agency staff, salespeople and temp order writers prepare for a successful market season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
