The Buy The Box Story

Read all about who we are, what we do and why we do it. The Buy The Box journey has been a special one.

The Buy The Box Story

In 2009, our founders began the journey of creating and growing their beverage business in the independent retail and wholesale trade. We felt the wrath of the industry environment and recognised the need for change.

Back then, online retail and wholesale seemed out of reach. That was until we understood the leverage of building a multi-brand, multi-seller business. This meant including multiple sellers in one place, offering online consumers a convenient assortment of quality food and beverage products.

We rolled the dice and invested in a cutting-edge marketplace platform to help other independent brand owners, agents, manufacturers, wholesalers, and distributors struggling with the same distribution challenges. Next thing we know, Buy The Box was formed. The rest is – as they say – history.

Why We Do What We Do

Our company goal has always been to revolutionise the way online retail and wholesale is managed for independent business owners, manufacturers, and distributors. But how could this be achieved?

We created a platform for businesses to gain economical access to channels and customers while remaining in unconditional control of all aspects of their businesses.

• For buyers, we aim to be the go-to marketplace for consumer and business buyers seeking out their favourite local and regional brands, unique products, all at great value.
• For sellers, we aim to be the go-to marketplace to reach those that already know your products, as well as new channels and customers who are seeking unique products that they cannot easily source in the national retailers and wholesalers.

Not only do we offer an endless aisle, one-stop-shop for our buyers, we do it with one order and one invoice, all while making the experience turnkey for our sellers.
