This online storefront offers packaging's largest catalog of more than 80,000 custom and stock products with next-day delivery and low pricing. This first-of-its-kind software is disrupting the $200 billion packaging industry.
"Data is broken in the wholesale packaging industry; for example, if the suppliers have their entire catalog listed and priced out, the specifications could either be listed in the metric or imperial system, depending on the supplier, even if it's the exact same product specification," said Trinity Packaging Supply's Founder and CEO, Anthony Magaraci. By standardizing this data to read the same way per specification and leveraging suppliers' drop-ship policies, Trinity's new e-commerce site algorithmically finds the best prices for packaging, janitorial, sanitation, and office supplies with next-day delivery for buyers across North America without needing to put capital into inventory, warehousing, or distribution. Through technology and data, Trinity's e-commerce catalog is breaking down the packaging industry's historically high barriers to entry, allowing Trinity to compete directly with the only other national supplier of packaging supplies with an e-commerce catalog.
The best inventions are born out of necessity. Since the software needed didn't exist, Trinity created SupplyStream, a custom product information management system (PIM) featuring a Shopify-style e-commerce storefront and an enterprise resource planning (ERP)-style management system for suppliers to track orders. SupplyStream features include:
• SupplyFront: A plug-and-play front-end storefront application that creates one-click e-commerce sites
• SideStream: A proprietary centralized management system that helps suppliers grow sales
• SupplierPortal: A one-stop platform connecting the marketplace and suppliers, the first of its kind in the wholesale industry
• SupplyStream: Provides valuable insights on pricing, missed orders, and industry reports
While Trinity currently uses SupplyStream for the packaging industry, it is built to transcend verticals and power other wholesale businesses in different industries by allowing suppliers to upload their catalogs and boost their sales through SupplyStream's "one-click" new storefront feature. As an alternative to Amazon's "Seller's Central", SupplyStream offers a competitive storefront that can compete directly with Amazon.
