WASHINGTON, DC--(Marketwired - Jul 28, 2017) - BULQ™, the smart source for liquidation goods, today announced the expansion of its mobile app to Android devices. The wholesale sourcing app is now available to the fastest-growing, majority segment of the U.S. mobile market, Android users. Last quarter, Android purchases dominated 67 percent of new phone activations according to Consumer Intelligence Research Partners (CIRP).
BULQ makes the process of sourcing bulk inventory simple, transparent and hassle-free for resellers, and its continued expansion to mobile reinforces its position on the cutting edge of the wholesale industry. Features like push notifications, personalized sourcing and mobile purchasing allow BULQ customers to buy smarter and capitalize on prime wholesale pallet inventory quickly all from their mobile devices.
"Wholesale reselling has traditionally been a pen-and-paper industry, and as such, is overdue for innovation," says Larisa Summers, SVP of Ecommerce and Digital Marketing. "When BULQ.com launched in 2015, we incorporated learnings from our own experience as wholesale buyers, and created a sourcing experience that solved many industry pain points. We introduced flat-rate shipping, guaranteed manifests and a clean user experience. The release of our Android app allows us to bring that convenience to even more customers who seek to access inventory right at their fingertips."
The wholesale market has shown strong demand for mobile tools that make the process of buying liquidated inventory easier and faster. BULQ launched its iOS app in 2016, and has seen an impressive 93 percent repeat visitor rate, proving to be an invaluable tool for serious resellers. The mobile app's convenience enables buyers to return to BULQ more often, granting easy access to preferred inventory on-the-go. With the release of its Android app, BULQ aims to bring the same convenience to Android owners, who account for nearly 60 percent of BULQ's current mobile web users.
