Procure Point Global (PPG) builds and supports advanced marketing and sales solutions to drive local business, reversing the trend of losses to e-commerce giants in our communities.
E-commerce sales in the USA are expected to reach $500 billion by 2018. With transaction costs reaching upwards of 20% per sale, most profit is going towards the e-commerce giantsnot the actual sellers.
If $500 billion were spent locally in the USA, it would save over 2.3 million jobs, 1.6 million shops and 1.4 trillion square feet of retail space. Nearly half of each dollars would remain in the local economy and tax base (per CivicEconomics.com).
Our solution allows each business region to effectively compete with the e-commerce giants in their communities. Our company is in start-up mode and our solution is held under strict Non-Disclosure. Please contact us for details.
