Bartercard

The Bartercard business model provides a platform enabling SMEs and corporate Australia to convert their idle capacity into usable goods and services. This idle capacity can include downtime within labour based and professional services industries, additional machinery capacity for manufacturers and excess, slow moving or end-of-run stock for the wholesale or retail industries.

Although the concept of barter is thousands of years old, bartering through Bartercard is the most innovative way of combining modern technology, a community of businesses, and indirect and direct marketing channels to increase your customer base, sales, profit and improve cashflow.

Ever since the inception of Bartercard into the Australian economy in 1991, the way companies across the country conduct their day-to-day business has been revolutionised. Bartercard's world-leading innovative Trade Exchange system enables over 55,000 trading members in six countries to benefit from the cashless economy of barter.
