Abstract

This work aims to analyze the feasibility of an innovative platform for a shopping marketplace called Pool Buy. With the substantial growth of e-commerce, many players have sought to expand their operations in this channel. For this, online sales strategies have become a priority in many organizations, particularly large retail chains. At the same time, sales marketplaces such as Mercado Livre,  mericanas.
com, Magalu, and the like also made this access possible for small businesses. Although some patterns of business models are predominant, there was an opportunity to act in this market of intermediation between the supplier of products and the customers in an innovative way, using the Purchasing pool mechanism. This model combines progressive discounts to the final consumer and disposal of high inventories from the manufacturer. In terms of methodology, we followed the method of solving problems
and taking advantage of opportunities proposed by Marcondes et al. (2017), which started from the analysis of the competitive environment, initial proposal and diagnosis of the opportunity, proposition of an innovative business model, and economic feasibility  analysis. To this end, the expected business results were projected in various sales scenarios using Monte Carlo simulation, signaling controlled risk and potential profitability of the venture.

This work aims to analyze the feasibility of an innovative platform for a shopping marketplace called Pool Buy. With the substantial growth of e-commerce in recent years, many players have sought to expand their presence in this channel. For this, online sales strategies have become a priority in many organizations, such as large retail chains. At the same time, sales marketplaces such as Mercado Livre, Americanas.com, Magalu and the like have also made this access possible for small businesses. Although some patterns of business models are predominant, there was an opportunity to act in this intermediation market between the product supplier and customers in an innovative way, using the Purchase Pool mechanism, a model that combines progressive discounts to the final consumer and outflow of high manufacturer stocks. To evaluate this new model, an economic feasibility analysis was carried out, which made it possible to simulate expected results of the business in various sales scenarios using Monte Carlo simulation.
