The platform catalogs 5,754+ products across nine categories — audio, charging, gaming, IT and computers, multimedia/TV/network, nomadic and practical accessories, connected objects, protection, and storage — sourced from over 100 brand partners. The supplier base includes flagship manufacturers (Samsung, Apple, Google, JBL, Crosscall, Polaroid, Thomson, Nacon) and the parent group's own proprietary labels (FORCE CASE, FORCE GLASS, FORCE POWER, FORCE PLAY, RIVACASE, WOW). Distribution is exclusive to B2B: distributors must apply for account approval before accessing tiered pricing, real-time order tracking, and dedicated phone-based sales support during European business hours.

The business model is wholesale hardware sales with no subscription or recurring revenue components. Pricing is structured around at least 12 distinct price codes per SKU (T_PARTNER, LECLERC, SHOPBLUEWA, T_WEB, NUMERIKS, BV, T_INDEP, GAMES, T_WEB_PREM, CRF_INDEP, T_WEB_UCA, ENTRACTE) accommodating partner distributors, large retail chains, independents, and specialist verticals. Cashback and promotional offers (offres de remboursement) supplement the transactional model to drive distributor engagement. The storefront is bilingual (French/English), supporting cross-border distribution within the European market.

BIGBEN CONNECTED is a subsidiary of Groupe BIGBEN, a diversified French conglomerate. Operational headquarters are at 396 rue de la Voyette, 59273 Fretin, with a customer service and data protection contact office at 65 rue de la Victoire, 75009 Paris.
