    Achieving KoçZer’s Vision

    As KoçZer was accelerating its growth, it made strategic plans to create a new revenue stream—one that didn't yet exist in Turkey and was much needed in the market. A B2B marketplace enlarging their assortment to offer all types of most needed consumer goods for all types of companies, as well as some specialised product categories.

    CHALLENGE

    Revolutionizing the Industry with an Enhanced Procurement Marketplace

    Committed to the principles of “perfection in procurement”, Zer strategized and planned to scale its platform for a new revenue stream with detailed requirements. To help them operationalize the technical needs for a new B2B marketplace, they partnered with Deloitte, who reached out to potential technology partners for pre-qualification assessment. Spryker was chosen as the most suitable partner based on demos and Proof-Of-Concept performances, as well as its ability to meet Zer’s solution-fit needs. Their decision was based on which leader in the commerce industry could help them achieve their goals faster, scaling their business to a new level. Spryker offered concise capabilities for the B2B Procurement Marketplace Zer had envisioned.
    SOLUTION

    Out-of-the-Box and Composable Commerce to Serve Medium to Large-sized SMEs

    Zer's objective is to offer a digital, self-service, and traceable purchasing experience that will provide convenience to buyers and sellers while ensuring reliability. Additionally, Zer aims to provide a seamless invoicing and payment process and access to a wide range of products that will cater to the needs of different types of customers.

    Spryker's B2B Marketplace solution proved to be the perfect fit for medium-to-large-sized SMEs, looking to digitize their platform but lacking the resources, as well as supporting large companies that needed to streamline their procurement processes. Additionally, Spryker's Greenfield platform approach accelerated the development of a unique digital commerce platform from scratch, offering expert guidance to Zer's clients from beginning to end. Thanks to Spryker's out-of-the-box B2B Marketplace capabilities and Expert Services, Zer's MVP went live within 6 months: ZerGO!
