Boots has partnered with RangeMe, a leading product discovery, sourcing and purchasing platform, to expand the number of new and diverse suppliers it works with on a goods for resale basis both in-store and online.
With over 200,000 suppliers already registered on the platform, Boots hopes that the RangeMe partnership will be a portal to working with the very best new and emerging brands. This will strengthen Boots' commitment to working with a broad range of suppliers, including SMEs and diverse businesses, and to support a fair and equal chance to compete for opportunities.
Steve Ager, Chief Customer and Category Officer at Boots, said: "Our partnership with RangeMe will create a direct route for interesting and innovative brands to reach and pitch to our buying team, that cater to our diverse customer base and local communities. We introduced hundreds of new product brands last year, and we've seen many interesting start-ups launch post-pandemic. We're looking forward to being able to support these businesses in their success by offering a new way for our buyers to discover them."
RangeMe helps retailers and their buying teams scale product sourcing efforts with streamlined submissions, simplified discovery tools, and the industry standard digital sell sheet. Buyers can filter searches to find brands and products meeting exact sourcing needs, connect and collaborate with suppliers, and access curated collections to help identify and understand category trends and emerging brands.
