Product purchasing should be easier to manage.
Many organizations are forced to juggle fragmented suppliers, inconsistent availability, unclear freight, generic customer service, and purchasing processes that do not fit how they actually operate.

WHY ALMS EXISTS
One Marketplace Should Do More Than Display Products.
ALMS Marketplace was built to close the gap between a self-service catalog and a responsive procurement partner. Customers can browse and buy online, but they can also send a list, request formal pricing, ask for approved alternatives, establish an account, coordinate multiple destinations, or get help managing a requirement that does not fit neatly into a shopping cart.
The result is a more organized buying experience:
• One accountable point of contact
• Broader product and supplier access
• Clear quote, freight, lead-time, and delivery communication
• Purchasing paths that fit the customer
• Human follow-through when an order needs attention

Founder-led. Customer-focused. Built for the long term.
ALMS Marketplace is operated with the belief that technology should make purchasing faster without removing the human ownership required to make purchasing dependable.

OUR STORY
A Small-Business Vision Built Into a National Product Marketplace.
ALMS Marketplace grew from AlmsTravel LLC, a founder-led company established in 2019 by Kari Watson and Brian Clay. The company expanded around a practical mission: help customers access a broader selection of products while preserving responsiveness, purchasing flexibility, documentation, and accountability.
A statement from our founders:
“We built ALMS Marketplace to give organizations a more responsive way to source the products they need—without losing the personal support, organized communication, and follow-through required for serious purchasing.”
