Consolidated purchase orders

You receive a single, itemised purchase order per event, aggregated across all members who ordered your products. No chasing individual orders.

Order confirmation workflow

Each purchase order includes a confirmation link. Accept or flag issues directly. No account required to respond.

Delivery instructions

Organisers set custom delivery instructions per supplier (date, time, address, and contact details), included in every purchase order.

Your own product catalogue

Manage your product listings (names, descriptions, sizes, pricing, images) independently from the organiser's market.

Stock control

Set available stock per product. The market automatically limits orders to what you can supply, so there's no overselling.

Direct relationships

You deal directly with local organisers. No intermediary platform extracting a cut of every transaction.

Predictable demand

Event-based ordering means you know exactly what to prepare before each delivery, reducing waste and last-minute guesswork.

Order history and trends

See exactly what was ordered, in what quantities, across every event. Spot your best-sellers, identify slow movers, and use real demand data to guide production planning and catalogue decisions.

Verified product reviews

Members can review products they have actually ordered, so feedback is genuine, and you can trust it reflects real experience with your product.

Your products are yours, not our inventory to exploit

helyi doesn't take a cut of your sales, and we don't treat your product data as an asset we own. Your listings, descriptions, pricing, and images belong to you. We use them solely to display your products to communities you've agreed to supply, nothing more.

We charge members a fixed fee when participating in events, to operate the network. That's the deal: transparent, straightforward, and without the hidden cost of your data being packaged and sold to someone else.

Your reach could extend further than you think

helyi's mission is to extend the same direct, fair-trade model to underserved communities that can't currently access it. As free Locals come online, suppliers who are already part of the network will have the opportunity to supply them, reaching new customers and supporting food security in communities that need it most.
