New competitive advantages
In just a few weeks we helped a recycling marketplace to overcome their current demand and supply imbalance by sharpening their business model. This allowed the client to focus on high-value transactions and tackle the current quality and trust issues in the market. With a new problem-solving hypothesis and detailed market analytics, we were able to work out strong competitive advantages and determine customer lock-in effects for our client.

The story
The marketplace faced the typical supply and demand dilemma (imbalance) leading to missing out on potential transaction opportunities. In addition, the product complexity and inconsistent quality of recycled plastic asked for additional support functions to unlock potential opportunities. The nontransparent and fragmented recycling plastic market made it difficult to focus on the transactions along the value chain which had the highest potential to be improved and disrupted by a marketplace.
