DALLAS – December 30, 2020 – MarketTime, the provider of best-in-class B2B software as a service (SaaS) solutions for the business of wholesale and retail, will debut an Experience Center during the upcoming Total Home & Gift Market at Dallas Market Center, January 6-12, 2021.

The MarketTime Experience Center, open during market hours for Total Home & Gift Market but also for Apparel & Accessories Market and KidsWorld (January 12-15) as well as WESA’s International Western/English Apparel & Equipment Market (January 14-17), will provide hands-on demonstrations of the MarketTime tools, all of which are available today, as well as supporting information and personnel to discuss the MarketTime advantages and ease of integration.

“It’s critical that our unrivaled online experience be powered by the best in-person experience,” said Hemal Patel, founder and CEO of MarketTime. “That’s why the Experience Center will showcase the best qualities of our software and the physical Dallas market—new product discovery, trend exploration, and strong relationships. Inside our Experience Center, guests will see first-hand just how simple to use and intuitive our tools are while also seeing how MarketTime creates a supportive online community that is by the industry for the industry.”
Added Cindy Morris president and CEO of Dallas Market Center: “MarketTime is more than tech tools; it’s a B2B community supporting business growth and bridging physical and online marketplaces. Everything you love about our physical marketplace – friendly interactions, unique points of view, and curated offerings – is now at your fingertips and available around the clock. We are confident that the MarketTime Experience Center will amaze everyone by allowing guests to experience in real-time the full power of the software, see what’s available immediately to support business expansion, and demonstrate that this is the best system for connecting worldwide to physical and digital markets.”
