Why Funafuti (Vaiaku) businesses are investing in B2B and wholesale portals
Funafuti (Vaiaku) is a capital of tuvalu, atoll and district, where around 6,025 people live and shop, and one of the markets in Tuvalu where we build B2B and wholesale portals.
Capital atoll and government centre — a business base that increasingly wants to sell online rather than through calls, messages and spreadsheets.
Tuvalu has a very small population on Funafuti atoll. Online catalogues mainly support local shops and diaspora orders.
For a business in Funafuti (Vaiaku), the opportunity is to own the customer relationship: your own B2B ordering portal keeps your margin, your data and your brand, while marketplaces and social channels become additional sales routes instead of the only one.
