Marketplace as a Service (MaaS) refers to a business model in which a company provides a platform or infrastructure for other businesses to create and operate their own marketplaces.
The platform typically includes features such as payment processing, inventory management, and customer relationship management. MaaS providers typically charge a fee for access to the platform and may also take a percentage of sales made through the marketplace.
The goal of MaaS is to make it easy for businesses of all sizes to create and operate their own marketplaces, without the need for significant upfront investments in technology or infrastructure.
