For brick and mortar retailers, it is vital not to be left behind by the competition on the internet when it comes to pricing and the product range on offer. Thanks to the connected Marketplace, the brodos.net Kiosk allows a virtually unlimited number of products to be shown, at a price capable of competing with internet prices. We have added nearly 50,000 new products from a number of specialist suppliers, whilst continuing to work at improving both the findability of products and how recommended end customer prices are shown.
New additions to the catalogue:
We are now able to offer more than 20,000 items from the computer and accessories specialist Wave in our product range. From 3D printers to working memory to all-in-one computers, everything can now be found in the Marketplace. All products from Wave are listed HERE.

A further 25,000 products from AGI have been added to the Marketplace catalogue. The focus lies on supplying power to mobile phones, tablets, landline devices, laptops, computers, cameras and printers. All products from AGI are listed HERE.
In the area of mobile communications and accessories we have also been able to successfully connect the new specialist suppliers
Athos-C,
Popp PC,
MLine,
Leicke and
All4You.
Findability counts! And this is what we have done:
1. The categories for accessories for mobile devices have been optimised.
More sub-categories have been created, for example for power banks, docking stations or wearables in order to increase findability of products. After all, purchases are only made if products can be found! The clearly structured sub-categories make it even easier to find products.
2. A great many more links have been created between products.
In order to ensure that matching accessories, various models or alternative products are shown, we have added a lot of new links between products.
- 1,250,000 new links to alternative products
- 75,000 new links to different options
- 45,000 new links to accessories
3. The findability of products using the search function has been improved even further with 1,250,000 additional keywords.
More prices!
Thanks to the price challenge in the Marketplace, improved calculations and new tools in the online search for product prices, we can now show a fair Storeship retail price for nearly 80% of our products!
