We get your product onto the shelves that matter

Retail Distribution
Purchase Orders That Arrive The Way Retailers Expect
A retail chargeback is rarely about the product. It is a missing ASN, a label in the wrong corner, a pallet built to the wrong height or a delivery outside the appointment window. Those are the details our team is built around — the same inventory pool that serves your DTC orders also serves your wholesale accounts.

What's Included
Wholesale and Retail Distribution, End to End
Everything between a purchase order landing in your inbox and a compliant pallet arriving at a retailer distribution centre — run by one team, out of one warehouse network.
How It Works
01
Onboard
Send us your retail partners and their routing guides. We build the compliance rules for each account before a single PO is released.
02
Connect
We set up EDI or flat-file exchange with each retailer, so purchase orders arrive electronically and ASNs go back automatically.
03
Receive PO
A PO drops, we allocate stock, pick to carton, label to spec and build the pallets — typically within 24 hours of release.
04
Ship Compliant
Freight is tendered, an appointment is booked, the ASN transmits and you get proof of delivery. Chargeback exposure closes with it.
FAQ
Retail Fulfillment Questions, Answered
What brands ask before they put their wholesale channel in someone else's hands.
B2B fulfillment is shipping bulk orders to businesses — retailers, distributors and wholesalers — rather than to individual consumers. It is measured in cartons and pallets instead of parcels, and every retailer enforces its own rules about labeling, packing and delivery.
Our team ships retail-compliant freight into the major North American chains every week, including big-box, club, hardware and office channels. If you have a routing guide, we can work to it.
Yes. We exchange the standard retail document set — 850 purchase orders, 856 advance ship notices, 810 invoices and 940 warehouse shipping orders — and can fall back to flat files or a portal where a partner prefers it.
By treating the routing guide as the spec. Labels are validated before freight leaves, pallets are built to each retailer's pattern, ASNs transmit on time and appointments are booked in advance. Every shipment is photographed, so a disputed claim has evidence behind it.
That is the point of running them together. One inventory pool serves both channels, so a large wholesale PO does not silently strand your online store, and you are not paying two providers to hold the same product.
Cross-docking handles that. Inbound freight is received, re-sorted to destination and sent back out the same day without taking a rack position or accruing storage.
