Retail readiness starts before the purchase order

Prepare the requirements that help DTC brands expand into wholesale.

01

Understand the requirements first

Before accepting a retail order, review case quantities, labels, documentation, delivery windows, and the retailer’s routing instructions. Confirm that the warehouse can execute the required workflow.

02

Protect availability across channels

Allocate inventory for retail commitments while keeping the storefront’s availability accurate. Make the timing of stock reservations explicit.

03

Review the first shipments closely

Check receiving feedback and delivery exceptions from early retail orders. Update the operating instructions with what the team learns.
