saadetissüsteemid

Saadetissüsteemid, often translated as consignment systems, are a business model where a seller (consignor) entrusts their goods to another party (consignee) to sell. The consignee displays and markets the goods in their own store or online platform. Ownership of the goods remains with the consignor until a sale is made. Once the goods are sold, the consignee pays the consignor the agreed-upon price, typically deducting a commission. Unsold items are returned to the consignor. This arrangement is common in retail, particularly for used clothing, antiques, furniture, and specialty items where the consignor may not have the resources or desire to manage their own sales channel.

The primary benefit for the consignor is access to a wider customer base and leveraging the established presence and marketing efforts of the consignee without the overhead of running a retail operation. For the consignee, it offers a way to stock inventory with minimal upfront financial risk, as they do not purchase the goods outright. They earn revenue through commissions on sales. However, both parties must have clear agreements regarding pricing, commission rates, the duration of the consignment period, insurance, and the handling of unsold or damaged goods to avoid disputes. Effective communication and trust are crucial for a successful consignment relationship.
