Market Xpert  is now here!

Market Xpert is a robust tool to cross-reference competitor product pricing, taking the guess-work out of bid strategy. It is your game-changer for competitive bidding and contract pricing.

Information is power. The more you have, the better you can compete in the market.

  • How does your competition price a specific item?
  • Can you offer a better deal and remain profitable?
  • Can you adjust your price to win that contract?
  • Can you change the product mix to reduce customer budget?
  • Can you substitute private label products to change the bid?

Market Xpert arms you with the information to win business without losing profitability. Market Xpert is your tool for making informed decisions about margin management and pricing strategy.

Please Note: Market Xpert was designed in cooperation with Essendant to provide an enhanced version of Item411 to Essendant first call customers. If you are a Essendant first call customer and would like to switch to Market Xpert, please contact us with your request.
