About Us
Explore MoreCaroyal is a modern B2B e-commerce platform founded on the principles of sharing economy. On our website, communities of buyers collaborate to share the costs of owning products. Similarly, communities of sellers pull resources together in order to fulfil economic order quantities. The aim is to reduce product costs, and to increase food security through market accessibility for producers and distributors. Our groupage model enable users to import or export parts of containerised products. This solution is adapted to the financial capacity of small distributors and producers in developing regions, where we hope to gradually remove unnecessary intermediaries in the critical supply chains.
This August, traders can purchase fractions of 40ft containers of stockfish products. The cost of the containers will be divided into many parts so that each part is sold for only $5000. There will be no discounts for buying more parts of a container. Our goal is to enable small distributors purchase at competitive prices, stabilise demand for Norwegian stockfish producers, and improve food security in the consumer regions.
Tomorrow's buyers will consider how and where raw materials are sourced. Driven by this reality, Caroyal will expand to incorporate trading of commodities, especially those sourced from remote locations in developing regions. We will build a strong network of sustainability-driven buyers, who will offer better deals to the sellers. Hence we are exploring the potential of blockchain technology for improved transparency, and for decentralised tracing of the commodities to be traded on our platform.
