With 30 years of software development experience under our belts, we specialize in providing tailored integration solutions for custom-built sales platforms. Our dedicated and highly skilled team of in-house engineers possess a wealth of experience (all with a minimum of 15 years of experience in the industry) in getting custom integrations built and implemented in a time frame you'll struggle to find elsewhere, and without the eye-watering upfront capital.
Absolutely! We have lots of experience in this and we already support a number of our clients in shipping inventory to wholesale partners.
Our open API allows for seamless integration with EDI and ERP systems and our engineers can factor this into setup during onboarding.
We manage the inbound flow to many leading B2B partners major retailers and 3rd party marketplaces such as Holland & Barrett, Zalando, Asos and many different football clubs.

No project is too big or complex - we have deployed hundreds of tried and tested solutions since 2001.
We offer cross-border shipping from any of our order fulfiment centres, which could prove the best solution for your brand if you are selling relatively low volumes overseas, or have a proposition where a slightly higher delivery cost works within your margins.
We do however, advise that brands who are looking to penetrate new regions or are shipping volumes outside of their home territory, locate part of their inventory within a key region close to their overseas consumer base. This is where we can add significant value - we have 15 locations located across the EU, UK and USA and can support clients in their expansion into new regions, making things happen in just a couple of weeks.
No, you can trade worldwide with one cohesive view. The same software runs throughout our entire network, meaning no matter the location of your stock or channels you are selling on, you will have one cohesive view within the platform.
Our tech pack comes with unlimited users, and the ability to check how little or often you would like to interact with the software. We do the hard work so you don't have to - we'll only alert you when something needs addressing, or we face an issue.
We understand the significance of implementing the FIFO method in inventory management and its benefits for our clients:
Minimising Product Expiry: For businesses dealing with perishable or time-sensitive products, FIFO ensures that older items are dispatched first, significantly reducing the risk of products expiring on the shelves.
Preventing Obsolescence: In industries where products undergo frequent updates or newer versions are released, FIFO helps avoid inventory becoming obsolete, mitigating the risk of unsellable stock.
Optimising Storage and Holding Costs: By adhering to FIFO, we optimise storage space by moving older inventory first, resulting in reduced holding costs and maximising space utilisation efficiency.
Enhancing Customer Satisfaction: Following the FIFO principle, we ship fresher products to customers, leading to increased customer satisfaction and loyalty.
We do indeed offer batch control. This approach is particularly useful when dealing with large quantities of orders or inventory items. Here's a breakdown of what batch control entails and its benefits:
Grouping Orders: Batch control allows orders to be grouped together based on various criteria, such as geographic location, product type, or shipping method. This grouping enables efficient processing and reduces the complexity of handling individual orders separately.
Streamlined Processing: By processing orders in batches, we can optimise workflows. Instead of picking, packing, and shipping each order independently, our team can handle multiple orders at once, leading to faster processing times and increased overall efficiency.
Reduced Errors: Working with batches reduces the chances of errors during order fulfilment. Once a batch is set up, our team can double-check the accuracy of each order within the batch before processing. This reduces the risk of mixing up products or shipping the wrong items to customers.
Inventory Management: Batch control is crucial for inventory management. It helps track the movement of items in and out of the warehouse, enabling better inventory control and preventing stockouts or overstock situations.
