Agricultural marketplace Svoe Fermerstvo launched a new section "Services for agribusiness"
A section of services in the B2B marketplace has appeared on the Svoe Fermerstvo platform for agricultural enterprises. Now, agricultural entrepreneurs and enterprises can post offers for the services they provide for agribusiness absolutely free of charge.
The agricultural B2B marketplace Svoe Fermerstvo has been successfully developing for 4 years. The number of suppliers of the Svoe Fermerstvo marketplace for agricultural products has exceeded 17,000, and the number of goods they offer has crossed the 5.5 million mark. Now, in addition to goods, any supplier providing specialized services for the agricultural sector can post an offer for the services they provide, and any user of the platform can select the necessary services in a convenient catalog and contact the supplier to discuss details and place an order.
Currently, suppliers have a choice of 20 service categories to place, including: field work, agronomist services, repair and maintenance of agricultural machinery, equipment and machinery rental, crop and livestock services, elevator services, freight services, warehouse and other services. Suppliers can view the list of available categories in their personal account. To start working with the platform and place services, you need to register, create a seller's showcase and place services. Registration on the marketplace for both suppliers and buyers remains free, transactions are not burdened with any commissions from the platform. For existing suppliers of goods on the Svoe Fermerstvo marketplace, the functionality of placing services is also already available in the personal account.
The specialists of the Svoe Fermerstvo marketplace have made the process of placing offers for services on the platform as simple and understandable as possible for the supplier. When creating a service description, the supplier has access to a set of fields that take into account the features of a particular category of services. For example, the type and model of equipment, insurance and number of units in the category "Rent of agricultural machinery" or the type and dimensions of the body, load capacity, brand of vehicle, etc. for the category "Cargo transportation". Also, when compiling a description, suppliers have access to automatic spelling check or the ability to generate text using a neural network.
Very soon, service providers on the marketplace will have access to all the services that are available to suppliers in the "Goods" section, from analytics of the quality of the posted service card to the ability to execute a transaction with credit support from Rosselkhozbank. A special feature of the publication of Services on the Svoe Fermerstvo marketplace is the ability to set a "price by agreement", along with the publication of the exact cost of the service.
"The launch of the services section on the Svoe Fermerstvo agricultural marketplace has become a logical step in the development of the platform. It expands the sales areas for marketplace sellers, and provides buyers with the opportunity not only to select the necessary goods, but also to close a number of needs for selecting service providers for seasonal work and current business tasks within a single digital platform. The potential for the development of the service area is huge. It goes beyond the agro-industrial complex segment, since farmers and agricultural enterprises, along with such specialized services as equipment rental, transportation and storage of crops, also require technological business support services, construction services, contract work, and more. We are confident that this area of the marketplace will be in high demand, and the share of sellers in it may exceed the share of sellers of agricultural products," notes Elena Baturova, Deputy Chairperson of the Board of Rosselkhozbank.
