Platform Update: Sellers Onboarding and New Features

With the public launch just weeks away, things are moving fast at Rail Depot Direct. Here's a snapshot of where things stand and what's new on the platform.

We're Onboarding Sellers Now

Over the past few weeks we've been meeting with vendors and getting products uploaded to the platform — and it's really starting to take shape. If you've been thinking about listing your products and haven't been in touch yet, now is the time. We're happy to help get you set up before launch.

A Perk for Early Sellers

Vendors who come on board now receive a little extra support. Foundation sellers get help with product description writing and optimisation, plus photo touch-ups and enhancements to make sure listings look sharp from day one.

New Platform Features

The platform keeps evolving as we get closer to going live. Here's what's been added recently:

Request a Quote — Sellers can now hide pricing on any product and let buyers request a quote instead. You approve it, they complete the order.

Videos and PDFs on Listings — Spec sheets, installation guides and product demos can now be embedded directly on product pages, giving buyers everything they need to make a confident purchasing decision.

Improved Search Visibility — We're working with a digital marketing agency to drive SEO and connect buyers directly with products listed on the platform.

Spot Us in Railway Digest

Rail Depot Direct features in the February issue of Railway Digest — keeping the Australian rail industry informed as we count down to launch.
