PDCx is about better business leading to better livelihoods for millions of Africans.
PDCx orchestrates a locally-led purchasing network, buys goods in bulk at wholesale prices to bring down the cost for micro vendors, and reduces logistical impediments.
We call this “marketplace mutuality” …or just plain awesome!
The problem
Nearly 400 million Africans run micro enterprises, which represent 80% of the jobs. Micro vendors typically pay retail prices or higher for goods they intend to resell, leaving them with tiny margins and no path to emerge out of poverty.
How PDCx Works
Vendors who are members of the PDCx discount network place orders for key goods online or in-person at local kiosks. PDCx’s digital infrastructure tracks orders and aggregates them for bulk purchasing at wholesale or discount prices. Vendors save 10-20% on the cost of goods.
If you’ve ever shopped at Costco, you understand why PDCx is attractive. When enterprises and individuals can buy goods at a discount, that becomes the go-to source. Today, micro vendors pay retail prices for goods and resell them at tiny margins and little profit. When vendors join the PDCx network, they obtain goods at just above wholesale cost, saving them a bundle.
Why PDCx Works
PDCx’s digital infrastructure manages orders, payments, and customer accounts.
Network members do not need to be digitally savvy or use technology to participate in the PDCx network.
PDCx also removes the daunting logistical challenges vendors located outside of major cities face in transporting goods to home base. PDCx delivers ordered goods to distribution points near smaller towns and villages.
Added Benefits With PDCx
PDCx also offers vendors credit up to an approved limit on easy terms.
