The Journey in Detail

A closer look at each step of the Optavex partnership process

1. Application

The journey begins with your application. We collect information about:

  • Your retail business history and experience
  • Marketplace presence and performance metrics
  • Category expertise and product preferences
  • Business capabilities and growth goals

This information helps us understand if there's a potential fit between your business and our inventory opportunities.

2. Calibration

This is where our AI begins to learn your preferences. You'll participate in:

  • Interactive product assessments
  • Detailed discussions about margin expectations
  • Feedback on sample inventory opportunities

This calibration phase helps our system understand exactly what types of products will perform best for your specific business.

3. Curation

Based on the calibration data, our AI begins curating personalized inventory opportunities:

  • Matching available inventory to your business profile
  • Analyzing profit potential for each opportunity
  • Prioritizing products based on your feedback

You'll receive your first batch of curated inventory opportunities, complete with data-backed profit projections.

4. Purchasing

At the point of purchase, we are much like a traditional wholesaler:

  • Send in a purchase order which is processed by our team within 24 hours
  • Receive an invoice and make payment
  • Have the goods shipped directly to you from one of our warehouses

We can handle as much or as little of the logistics of the purchase as you'd like.

5. Performance & Refinement

As you sell the products, our system continues to learn:

  • Tracking performance of recommended products
  • Gathering your feedback on each opportunity
  • Refining future recommendations based on results

This continuous feedback loop ensures that each batch of inventory opportunities becomes more tailored to your business.
