Merchandising, Sourcing & Procurement For Small Businesses

Sourcing, Procurement & Merchandising — Essential Tasks
Sourcing, procurement & merchandising

For retail brands getting off the ground.

Bringing multiple products to market means suppliers to vet, costs to model, and inventory to keep moving. Our founder's background is in sourcing, procurement, and merchandising, so this work is handled by someone who has done it on the buying side.

Supplier sourcing
Vendors identified, vetted, and negotiated — domestic and overseas — with samples tracked to decision.
Procurement
Purchase orders placed and followed, lead times held, and vendor terms managed on your behalf.
Product fulfillment
Pick, pack, and ship coordinated with your 3PL or in-house team so orders go out on schedule.
Inventory management
Stock levels, reorder points, and SKU records kept current across every channel you sell on.
Forecasting
Demand planning by SKU and season so you buy into what sells and stop tying up cash in what doesn't.

Landed cost, margin, and price modeling per product, including freight, duty, and packaging.
Branding & merchandising
