## Buyer Intent Signals
Problems: Direct Sourcing from Multiple Suppliers: Businesses can bypass a single wholesaler by sourcing goods directly from individual manufacturers or specialist distributors, requiring more time and logistic | Procurement Groups/Buying Consortia: Businesses can join buying groups to leverage collective purchasing power and negotiate better deals with various suppliers, acting as an intermediary. | Retail Purchases for Business Use: For very small businesses, purchasing items at retail stores or supermarkets for business use, which is less cost-effective but avoids wholesale accounts.
Solutions: Booker wholesale | Booker cash and carry | Booker Tesco | Booker catering supplies | Specialist Food/Drink Distributors: Utilizing niche distributors for specific product categories (e.g., craft beer distributors, organic produce suppliers) rather than a general wholesaler.
