Pets at Home has joined forces with product discovery platform RangeMe to give the retailer faster and easier access to new brands and suppliers from across the world.
RangeMe is an online platform designed to streamline new product discovery and purchasing between suppliers and retailers. The service allows businesses of any size to submit their product suggestions to the retailer.
Pets at Home says the new system will streamline the process of sourcing new suppliers and open the door for new relationships. RangeMe will also ensure these suppliers meet the standards set out in Pets at Home’s Supplier Code of Conduct, against criteria including animal welfare, ethical & technical practices and sustainability. The retail chain also says the platform will enable them to give more opportunity to smaller businesses in the pet care sector.
Kate Robinson, concept development & innovation manager at Pets at Home, said: “Partnering with RangeMe helps us to take our buying process to the next level, giving us access to a larger variety of innovative and on-trend pet products.
“It also gives our potential future suppliers an easier route to showcase their products directly to the relevant category team. Ultimately, it enables us to make more informed decisions on suppliers quicker and bring exciting new pet products that put pets’ wellbeing and happiness first, to our customers in a matter of weeks.”
Nicky Jackson, founder and ceo at RangeMe, added: “As the leading pet retailer in the UK, we are thrilled to add Pets at Home as another of the large UK retailers we support. RangeMe makes the process easier for retailers and suppliers to connect and simultaneously continue to grow their businesses.
“Currently we have more than 200,000 suppliers signed up, providing an incredible amount of choice in products for retailers.”
