Sales Channels Marketplaces are (as the name suggests) places where groups of suppliers come together to offer their products. There are many different kinds of marketplaces and as an LNE business partner you will have the ability to participate in these marketplaces as they are implemented.
A company may wish to supply into a local authority so there would be a marketplace created for local authorities who want to buy from all their suppliers in one place. Another example of a marketplace is an online supermarket where many suppliers sell their products on one website such as Amazon.
The LNE multiple marketplace system will be under constant development offering buyers and sellers many features which could be more costly to build into their own websites.
So the BIG benefit is, instead of only one sales channel (your own website) partnering with LNE you can access many sales channels and opportunities.
