Italian wholesaler hits out at price comparison websites
In recent times a website in Italy has raised the hackles of at least one wholesaler within that country. The site, gommaflash.com, uses an application that offers tyre dealers – for an annual fee of between 500 and 700 euros – the opportunity to view and compare the prices and conditions offered by all distributors. GommaFlash obtains the information by using the dealer’s passwords to enter each B2B distributor’s platform. Prices and other information are displayed in real time.
