What are the next steps, once the marketplace is launched? Can you tell us a little more about the 20% of your products on which you plan to develop online payment?
Vincent Gerard: Our priority, in order to develop the marketplace, is to maintain a strong worldwide network of partners and distributors who guarantee a certain quality of service for the buyers.
In parallel, we will be working on a direct online sales model for standard products, the 20% of our products that are off-the-shelf products, like B2C platforms already do. This is rare in B2B, so we have a card to play. The idea is to offer the possibility to create your own e-shop in which you can sell some of your standard products at a fixed price, on which you have stock and you know how to deliver. Once they are online, with the payment tools, it will be easy to get commission. We’re preparing a pilot on that, and it should come into being in 2021.
