Coles partners with FMCG startup
Coles supermarkets has partnered with FMCG startup website, Rangeme, to give small and medium sized businesses a new sales opportunity for their products.
Rangeme is a network of buyers and suppliers, enabling suppliers to pitch to Australian retailers and buyers.

The website launched in March and covers 30 national retailer groups that buy products for more than 5000 retail stores.

Founder of RANGEme, Nicky Jackson, says Rangeme will create efficiencies for small and medium businesses.

“Whether you have a grocery product, a healthy and beauty item or a fresh food product, this marketing tool will open new doors to Coles,” Jackson said.
