Our Philosophy
Partners in Profitability.
At Checkers we are aware that “Profitability” at Partners end is a key parameter to define the success of any “Partnership”. Partners put a lot of efforts and their investment in stocking the product and only when he is able to rotate or complete the buying-to-selling-payment cycle, he is able to invest again in new or fresh stocks. At Checkers we wish to work very closely with our channel partners and ensure that his ‘cycle’ is completed in time. Partners also are limited by their internal and external factors, for example their geographical reach or their organizational strength which limits their growth potential or their ability to quickly complete ‘the cycle’. Checkers will work on all of the challenges which our partner face and will be ‘The Key’ for our Partner’s Profitability. Checkers will also Hold Hands of our partners and provide the ‘Supply Chain Solution”, including multiplication billings on a touch of a click.
