We offer trial access to the marketplace. You can easily schedule a demo on our website. However, we highly recommend participating in an online demonstration with one of our managers, as they can showcase all of the features and hidden benefits of using the marketplace. This is the best way to fully evaluate the potential of the platform.
The number of involved and active business companies on our platform is not constant, as we continuously onboard new partners and some users may disconnect their accounts for various reasons. Currently, we have been rapidly growing every month. To ensure the validity and legitimacy of these organizations, we take extra measures to verify their legal identity. This way, you can be confident that you are not wasting your time on ghost accounts.
Locatory.com is a global, well-known marketplace where partners from all over the world conduct business. Approximately 30% of our companies are based in North America, while the remaining partners are equally distributed among Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania, Australia, and South America.
Locatory.com provides our partners with more business opportunities by connecting them with unique companies that trade exclusively through our platform. In addition, we offer a variety of auxiliary tools, such as the Supplier Management Tool, Public Catalogue, Watchlist, and Express Billboard, to enhance the experience of selling and buying spare parts.

Our public search function allows you to check whether parts are in stock. Additionally, our managers can generate customized reports based on provided stock data to analyze demand, understand competitors, and identify potential sales opportunities.

If partners are unable to find the parts they are searching for, we recommend using the Watchlist and Express Billboard. The Watchlist will notify all subscribed companies when the listed parts become available, and the Express Billboard allows for direct messaging to inform all partners that a company is looking for specific parts. Additionally, the Supplier Management Tool can help connect with suppliers who are not trading on the Locatory.com marketplace, allowing for the potential to receive offers from a personal list of vendors.

Marketplace

Our Premium and Enterprise plans allow you to create a featured public catalogue, where your inventory list is visible to all Internet users, even those outside of our marketplace. This means that your parts will be accessible to everyone. We recommend publishing the Public Catalogue or a link to it on your company website to increase traffic. Additionally, buyers can use our Supplier Management Tool (SMT) to connect with suppliers who do not list their inventory on Locatory.com.
Our marketplace helps registered companies conduct business efficiently and quickly. We provide clients with contact details to facilitate direct communication and resolution of business cases. However, we encourage customers to communicate through the marketplace, as it adds extra value through the use of our order management tool.
There are several solutions that can add value to your business. The Public Catalogue makes sellers' inventory lists (uploaded on the marketplace) publicly available to all Internet users, even those who are not partners with Locatory.com. This allows you to reach a larger customer base outside of the marketplace. For buyers who only need to search for and purchase parts, we offer Amber A.I., a user-friendly tool designed for efficient companies. With API connection, partners can automate many routine and tedious processes, allowing them to focus on their main goals. Please visit our website to learn more about all of the features and benefits.
Lead time is an optional parameter that suppliers can indicate if they have specific time frames or limits for shipping goods from their warehouse. Suppliers who respond to RFQs directly typically include lead time in their proposals sent via email. Buyers can also specify any time limits they may have by indicating a desired delivery date in their RFQ.
There are several convenient ways to keep your stock up-to-date. One option is to upload files through the Manage Inventory menu on the marketplace. Our success managers are also available to assist: simply send a request to inventory@locatory.com and we will take care of it.
