How WeMENA Helps Businesses Sustain Covid-19

WeMENA – first of its kind online wholesale market in the Middle East is helping businesses sustain the current pandemic by supplying safety equipment supplies like face masks, hand sanitizers, hand gloves, and effective cleaning products at affordable and economical prices.

WeMENA – a startup which commenced its operations in the beginning of 2020 is working incessantly to deliver PPE supplies to keep up with the ever-growing demand of these products.

The B2B platform delivers safety supplies to different industries to help its workers, and staff stay safe and protect them from contracting the virus. This way WeMENA is helping many businesses to continue its operations in a safe and healthy environment. It is important that wholesale suppliers work round the clock to meet the increasing demand of personal protective equipment, and safety supplies in the country.

Safe delivery of PPE supplies

PaliBanwait, co-founder, says: “In this especially difficult time for everybody, our site, which launched at the beginning of 2020, is proving to be a cost-effective way of helping companies stay afloat during this unusual time. We are working relentlessly to keep maintaining access to stock levels by working closely with our partners, our prices are kept fair and ensuring key industries have access to PPE, [Personal Protective Equipment] hand sanitiser and disinfection and sterilisation products, for example.”

One can access a wide range of products – more than 20,000+ products with thousands of products being added every week – by signing up for a free WeMENA account. This can be very helpful for businesses who find it difficult to source products – especially health essential supplies like face masks, sanitizers, and cleaning products during these times.

This wholesale platform is all that you need to source different products from thousands of suppliers across the region. It provides you the convenience of purchasing wholesale products – easy and safe – from the comfort of your home. WeMENA has simplified the whole buying process so much so that even traditional businesses who are not familiar with purchasing bulk products online can source the products easily.

“We’re working around the clock with manufacturers and distributors to get essentials into the hands of businesses so they can continue business – and continue to bring in revenue, while ensuring their staff feel safe and protected,” adds Banwait. “By helping business remain open we are saving jobs and in turn lightening the burden on the state too. We’d like to think we are doing our bit by encouraging businesses to ‘stay home’ and order online – with free delivery and low minimum order quantities, we hope we are providing something of a lifeline to the SMEs that are the bedrock of the region’s commercial activity.

He cites the example of small groceries – which can take advantage of WeMENA’s large supply sources by buying in smaller quantities with flexible payment options.

Another example was a food production plant based in Dubai being able to remain open after purchasing essential PPE supplies sourced from WeMENA for its staff.
