Administración de orden en masa: Esta facilidad le permite mannipular múltiples órdenes de una sola vez, en lugar de individualemente. Es útil para:
Grupos de compradoras que tienen que llegar a un número mínimo de órdenes de un producto antes de que sea posible comprar los bienes para redistribuirlos a sus clientes
Ajustar ordenes en masa (e.g. en el caso de un fallo en la cosecha o el brote de una enfermedad) que previene la entrega de uno o más artículos del producto.
Comisión a empresa: Un margen o cargo agregado al precio base de un artículo para cubrir los costos de negocio o hacer a la empresa rentable.
Permiso a empresa: Una conección entre proveedoras y distribuidoras en la plataforma. Sin permiso (que debe ser dado por la proveedora), otra empresa no puede editar su configuración o listar sus productos para la venta.
Compra grupal: Organizar ventas para clientes en las que los bienes son comprados al por mayor por el hub que distribuye, o para las cuales hay una orden mínima antes de que la proveedora acceda a entregar los bienes a un punto de recolección.
Hub: A food retail outlet on OFN which sells items supplied by others. A hub can also sell goods which it makes or grows (a Producer Hub). Analogous businesses on the high street might be a shop which buys in stock for re-sale from lots of different producers (e.g. they might buy bread from a baker, vegetables from the local wholesale market, meat from the local farm...).
