Distribution and Fulfillment
Because of our leverage of marketplaces, we are able to serve many more customers at faster fulfillment speeds than if we were to ship everything ourselves. This includes utilizing 3PLs, Fulfillment Companies, and our own facility. A few examples below demonstrate how we can facilitate distribution of your products.
Fulfillment Centers
By leveraging a large fulfillment network of warehouses, we can get products to consumers at an expedited rate without the need for our own warehouses in every state. We have fulfillment capabilities that service our customers in 1-2 days.
Direct Fulfillment (D2C)
With our logistics facilities and partners, we can ship products directly to consumers across multiple marketplaces or specific websites. This allows us to reach more customers when other fulfillment methods are unavailable or limited.
Bulk Distribution
Through our facilities, we can also handle bulk orders and shipments, both inbound and outbound. We have a wholesale and bulk customers in NGOs, non-profits, domestic and international retailers, and a variety of other specific suppliers.

What makes Marketplaces and Ecommerce different than Brick and Mortar?
Fulfillment of products to consumers requires proper protection in shipping. Sometimes this involves bagging, bubble wrapping, boxing, or other types of product prep. But one advantage of being an Ecommerce retailer is that our customer base is much larger than a Brick and Mortar store. While a B&M store may sell 5-10 a week of a product, we carry products that sell 5-10 a day or even an hour! Through creative marketing and strategic logistical, pricing, and promotion advantages we can reach a wide variety of customers around the world.
Additionally, Brick and Mortar is limited by numerous other factors.
• Geo-Distribution – Your customer reach is limited to a small geographic radius of a single or multiple stores. Ecommerce allows global fulfillment with a few clicks.
• Limited analytics – Who’s buying your products? “Random customers who walk through the door” is not a good dataset to market to. We can review conversion rates, impressions (how many people see a listing), and click through rates on products to cater our advertising strategies towards more sales.
• Less Scalability – How many retail stores can take a product from 10 sales a week to 10 a day or 10 an hour?
• Different advertising opportunities – Advertising with big box retailers in their marketing materials can cost tens of thousands of dollars. Ecommerce marketing can start at a few hundred dollars and measure the effectiveness of such marketing
