FAQ MiddleMan Online and Our Yacht Provisioning Services

MiddleMan is a web-based platform that connects yacht operators with local provisioning suppliers. It allows buyers to submit provisioning lists and receive competitive quotes from reliable vendors, streamlining the provisioning process for both parties.

It’s simple! Sign up as either a buyer or a supplier and you can start connecting with people in the industry immediately. Buyers submit their provisioning lists through the platform, specifying their requirements and preferences. Local suppliers in the area are notified of the request and can respond with quotes. Once a quote is accepted by the buyer, an order is created, and MiddleMan facilitates communication between the buyer and supplier to fulfil the order.

MiddleMan is tailored to everyone involved in the provisioning process, including yacht operators, provisioning companies, and local store owners. Whether you’re looking to source provisions for a yacht trip or expand your client base as a supplier, MiddleMan can help.

MiddleMan will initially operate in Turkish and Greek regions, however, we are continually expanding our reach to new locations to serve more buyers and suppliers. If you’re interested in using MiddleMan in a specific area, please contact us, and we’ll do our best to accommodate your request.

Signing up for MiddleMan is easy! Simply click on the “Buyer” or “Supplier” buttons and follow the prompts to create an account. Once registered, you can start submitting orders as a buyer or offering quotes as a supplier.

The only charge for the MiddleMan platform is a service fee of €5 per order per user. We send out an invoice once a month that is payable by EFT.

Buyers and suppliers will agree upon a payment method before delivery. Ordinarily orders placed by buyers on the MiddleMan platform will need to be paid for in person (by means of cash or card) directly to the supplier. Unless an alternative method is arranged, like an electronic bank transfer.

If you encounter any issues with an order placed through MiddleMan, we encourage you to communicate directly with the supplier to resolve the issue, this can be achieved using the one-to-one in app chat system that is available once an order is placed and up to 24 hours post delivery. MiddleMan is available to assist with mediation if needed, ensuring a satisfactory resolution for all parties involved. Contact us on info@middleman.online
