Adilas Lite - Adilas Marketplace
Companies using the Adilas application and building their business worlds may need other resources to make their world grow and thrive. We want to build a community marketplace where people can buy and sell products and services that enrich and enhance their business. We have been servicing the Adilas application for over 20 years. Through this we have seen that Adilas creates a number of other byproducts. These byproducts provide opportunities for other entities to service additional client needs and wants. These are things like: bookkeeping, data entry, merchant processing, consulting, design, custom code, project management, marketing, hardware, etc.
To illustrate how byproducts fit into the adilas business model, think of a ski resort. The main goal is to get people up and down the ski hill. However, people coming for skiing may also need things like rentals, lodging, a ski school, food services, ski patrol, retail shops, etc. You get the idea. The ski resort doesn't have to own or run all of those other entities. However, the main service offered by the ski resort creates a host of other opportunities and services that can readily be paired with the original product. Inside of adilas, we play the role of the ski resort and facilitate opportunities for other entities to provide the additional services.
The marketplace project has so much potential! There are countless opportunities for better servicing our client's needs and wants. See below for more content on each sub topic within the marketplace.

People use the adilas application in many different ways. Some people are doing customer relationship management (CRM), inventory tracking, point of sale (POS), scheduling, financials, accounting, and so on. We provide all of the tools and features inside the adilas application. You can do it all yourself, or you can hire certain parts out, where you need or want help.
These additional needs and wants are what we call byproducts. These byproducts are a natural result of using the adilas system. These needs could range from simple solutions like finding a good merchant processor with excellent rates, to contracting project management for your next upgrade or integration project. We are trying to create a one-stop shop for all of your business needs. That's the benefit of the marketplace.
In our case, byproducts are often professional services like: tech support, merchant processing, business funding, CPA's, bookkeeping, web hosting, IT services, and other 3rd party solutions. There is a more extensive list below in the professional services section.
People and companies are willing to pay for these extra services to improve their overall business performance. Because these needs exist and recur from system usage, it creates a supply and demand type interface, where outside parties can fill those needs and generate their own revenue to help these companies. There is limitless potential here in the adilas marketplace.

This part of the adilas marketplace would be open to both internal and external customers. Internal customers would mean people who are running adilas selling to other people who are running adilas (adilas to adilas). External customers are the general public that would be buying from companies using adilas, that are participating in the marketplace (adilas to public). All kinds of possible options could exist here. Think of this section of the marketplace like a mini Amazon, eBay, or Facebook marketplace type environment.
Within the adilas system, users and companies are able to create items and services for sale. If they choose, they can then make those items available to the community marketplace. We would use their data such as prices, photos, descriptions, etc. It would then be available for purchase within the marketplace. Once a sale was complete, both the buyer and the seller would get a confirmation and the seller would then process the order. Once again, think of a mini version of Amazon or a mini consignment type shop.
The marketplace could be a great place to help with online exposure and push out products and services to potential clients and customers beyond your own ecommerce or web presence. Both services and physical products could be sold through this virtual community marketplace. All kinds of shipping and payment options would be available.
We plan to setup the community marketplace with its own rules, fees, and commissions to make it a successful hub for our users. This new marketplace will be awesome!

We would like to add a section that is setup especially for 3rd party solutions and outside vendors. The normal community marketplace deals with individual product and service listings. This section would go deeper and allow outside vendors and 3rd parties to really promote their entire business offering. We see this as owning virtual real estate in this adilas community marketplace.
In this section we could highlight businesses, build custom websites, and funnel traffic to these special solutions and offerings. Vendors could sell, provide promotions, offer specials, advertise their products and services, launch campaigns, and so on. We could create a place where these vendors and 3rd party solutions could have a great web presence and tie things right into the community marketplace.

There are a few sides to the sales and marketing piece for the adilas marketplace. We will be advertising and bringing more traffic to the products and services listed inside the marketplace. We also see a huge opportunity for outside marketing companies to sell their services to meet the marketing needs of the adilas clients.
Some of these special marketing options could be things like SEO (search engine optimization), campaigns, text messaging, promotions, pushing special products, brand recognition, packaging, labeling, etc. There could also be some AI options to help with sales and marketing. We see AI helping generate leads, processing sales analytics, building blog posts, tracking campaigns, and providing other marketing strategies. We know that marketing and sales is a big part of the puzzle. We want to see this part of the marketplace really bloom and provide for the needs of both adilas and adilas clients.

Imagine harnessing and selling the adilas marketplace technology for other outside entities. We will build a generic adilas marketplace that will look and feel a certain way. We could then use the exact same technologies to offer white label options for other companies that wanted to do the same sort of thing but with their own style, flavor, logo, colors, and even custom code.
We could do special marketplaces for specific business verticals or industries. Each one could be unique and cater to a specific audience. We could show/hide different portions, change out sections, and things could have different rules or settings. It could be very similar to the dynamics that we already offer with many of our other our web-based functionality pieces.
Adilas will already be creating and using a community based marketplace to offer products and services. We would love other companies to see this marketplace vision and use our toolset to create their own marketplace and brand.
