BunzlOne, powered by Mirakl, simplifies procurement
Bunzl launched BunzlOne, a B2B procurement platform powered by Mirakl, consolidating 160 companies across 32 countries into one marketplace. The platform went live in Netherlands with international rollout accelerating.
This signals Mirakl's growing dominance in B2B marketplace infrastructure, potentially competing with Amazon Business for enterprise procurement. Sellers should monitor if their current B2B customers start migrating procurement to consolidated platforms like this.
Enterprise procurement is consolidating into unified platforms, creating new distribution channels while potentially reducing Amazon's B2B dominance in specific verticals.
Review Amazon Business and Walmart Business sales data -- if B2B revenue is significant, diversify to other enterprise platforms before consolidation reduces your visibility.
Research Mirakl-powered marketplaces in your industry to identify new B2B distribution channels opening up.
