Localvore was created by Economic Technology Systems which is an affordable, high quality, Business to Business (B2B), supply chain management application that enables small businesses to collaborate with large retailers to build a more self-reliant, locally based economy in their geographic area. Localvore helps support the movement towards local purchasing and local economies that not only benefit the producer of goods and consumer but supports socially responsible supply chains. Localvore is a tool that will provide visibility of local suppliers to retailers in their area and help the two businesses establish a connection through Localvore’s “Social Media” features designed for businesses. Additional features that Localvore supports include robust search capabilities based on the type of product the retailer is looking for or by suppliers in the area. Once a retailer found what they are looking for Localvore can create and allow the user to manage online transactions for purchases made through Localvore’s virtual marketplace. Suppliers can also manage their entire inventory online, in addition to their company profile and user’s access. Localvore is built using the latest technology for web application development and is hosted using cost effective cloud computing services to keep our infrastructure costs low so we can pass along our savings to the user.

3. • Latest trends in e-commerce…
– Most retailers/suppliers are moving towards Software as a Service (SaaS) and risk adverse
when making investments into technology that requires long term maintenance contracts.
– Use of cloud based applications is becoming more popular as more commercial and public
sector look to save costs and many organizations are comfortable hosting their database in a
cloud environment as well.
– There is no viable solution on the market that supports small to medium size suppliers
seeking opportunities to do business with large organizations.

• Gain an advantage over competitors?
– Buy from more local vendors by using Localvore as a plug-in (requires Oracle e-commerce
suite) or use as a stand alone e-commerce suite.

– Enable businesses to source from small and medium sized local suppliers with ease.

4. • We serve two types of customers:
– Small Businesses (Non-Corporate Suppliers) that are at a disadvantage to global corporations currently
supplying products to large retailers.
– Purchasing Organizations (i.e., Retail, Restaurant, State & Local Government) and other organizations
that recognize the benefits of sourcing locally.
• We help Organizations efficiently source from Small Businesses:
– Large corporations and public sector organizations use expensive ERP systems to connect suppliers and
retailers together and generally small businesses cannot afford ERP software to connect with the
purchasers to integrate systems and remain competitive.
– We build affordable web applications that enable small businesses to compete with large organizations
by providing them a tool that increases operational efficiency.
• Our web technology disrupts the supply chain we know today:
– We leverage the latest emerging technology such as cloud computing (Microsoft Azure, SQL Azure) to
keep our costs low as we develop and deploy our product.
– Make the supply chain more efficient through web technology enabling strategic and sustainable
sourcing, e-procurement and contract management.
– Integrate with social networking applications to keep up with the latest social networking trends while
setting the trend in supply chain management.
– Integrate with purchasing organization’s existing ERP systems to compliment their current technological
environment as a low cost add on.

5. • High costs to purchase licenses, implement, and maintain
ERP systems
• High risk investing in subscriptions and implementing
software that needs to be maintained
• Many “best of breed” and ERP systems are complex to use
and offer more functionality than necessary that a small
business requires
• The lack of a risk free, easy to use e-commerce system
puts small businesses at a disadvantage when competing
against large global suppliers

– Complex Registration Process: Many organizations require small businesses to complete
large amounts of paperwork that is complex and asks for information the supplier is
unfamiliar with.
– Inefficient: If the supplier encounters problems it delays the time the supplier to receive
approval to do business with the organization.
– Lack of Support: Often there is a lack of support offered or support is difficult to find
when trying to do business with a large organization.
•
– Simplify: Build in logic and automate where possible.
