Pataz.com transforms global marketplace 

Pataz Co-Founders Andy de Silva and Chamli Tennakoon

‘Pataz.com’ is revolutionising the way companies do business by providing an invaluable online platform in service of a global B2B marketplace.

Pataz.com is an online subscription-based platform that connects bulk buyers and sellers to meet global demand. 

Co-Founder Andy de Silva has expertise as an inventor, product developer, and distributor, making him an ideal ally in this avenue. He co-founded the American distribution company Hotel Emporium Inc., which services over 14,000 hotels worldwide. Under his vision, the business has benefited over 50 countries to date. Co-Founder Chamli Tennakoon has included wide-ranging experience in digital strategy and marketing. His background in consumer neuroscience has given him unparalleled insight into the B2B marketplace, earning him prestigious positions with industry giants worldwide.

“Pataz is a unique learning algorithm-based platform that connects factories and manufacturers, whether large or small, with buyers. It allows connecting more than 100 variables when someone is searching for a particular factory/manufacturer or creating a profile to build their business. With higher verifications than competing platforms, our people-to-people network is even ideal for small entrepreneurial companies looking to expand their reach,” Tennakoon said.

 “Our competitors are country-specific, leaving buyers and sellers from other parts of the globe at a disadvantage. Pataz goes beyond connecting buyers and sellers on a single global platform, making it easy to source manufacturers and products from all over the world,” said de Silva.

Their primary role is to help factories or businesses showcase their products and services on the Pataz.com platform and ensure that their product line is tackling the international region that is most suitable to their needs.

“We are creating virtual trade shows where brands can showcase their products for niche markets. Pataz allows businesses to showcase their products in other countries without the hassle of government regulations, travelling and other related costs. Our network will enhance their business strategies and the future goals of the small-to-medium factories that we are going to connect with,” Tennakoon added.

Pataz.com has already connected with over 1,000 factories globally, which includes 15-20 Sri Lankan companies. It said at a time where Sri Lanka is facing huge difficulties in terms of foreign exchange and import restrictions, Pataz.com could help Sri Lankan businesses to find buyers globally and improve exports. 

De Silva said that Pataz.com could grow as much as any tech company in the world with the many avenues and roadmaps which are created for the company. Pataz.com is covering a huge gap in the market; directly connecting suppliers and businesses around the globe.
