What is marchandise exchange ?

The founding principle of the exchange is to acquire a new good or service without leaving cash.

Although this principle may seem obsolete, his return in our modern economy confirms its renewal.

B to B Barter (bilateral trade) is initiated in the 80s, when American advertising agencies exchange advertising space against a product or service that match their needs.
Both parties must have exchanged reciprocal needs. This is the limit of the bilateral exchange.

To overcome this limitation and extend the scheme to other sectors (including overheads, fleet automobile, furniture, seminars ...), it was necessary to enrich the concept by involving other stakeholders to establish a stock exchange .

The stock exchange (or multilateral exchange) includes within its scope of trade more companies, more activities and thus more markets. It allows each member to bring its products or services and to find the consideration that best meets its expectations.

Such a system must be managed by an intermediary company capable of incorporating qualitative suppliers that meet the needs of its clients, which will be converted in turn into new customers. In this way, the more there will be members in this stock exchange, the easier sharing will be by finding the desired return.

EFFICIO plays the role of intermediary since 1995 and now proposes to modernize good exchange via its online platform. More efficiency, more flexibility and more transparency.

Those are our watchwords in the revival of trade.
