Common merchandise problems in multi-location organizations
These are the issues we are asked to solve most often.
Every location buys separately
Branch-level purchasing produces inconsistent branding, uneven pricing and no consolidated view of spend.
Head office becomes the bottleneck
Central marketing ends up processing merchandise requests from every site instead of running marketing.
Rollouts have to land everywhere at once
A campaign is only as good as its weakest location, and coordinating dozens of shipments manually is where things break.
Quantities differ by site
A large branch and a small office do not need the same shipment, so one bulk order never actually fits.
No visibility into what was delivered
Without delivery confirmation per site, nobody can say with confidence that every location received its shipment.

Frequently asked questions
How many locations can you distribute to?
We have coordinated rollouts to networks of more than 75 locations across Canada and the United States, with each site receiving its own pre-packed shipment.
Can each location order different quantities?
Yes. We build each shipment to the quantities and product mix that location needs rather than sending everyone the same box.
Can head office control what locations are allowed to order?
Yes. The product range, artwork, pricing and any budget limits are set centrally, and locations order within those rules.
Do we get confirmation that every site received its shipment?
Yes. Shipments are tracked per location and we confirm delivery site by site, so you know the rollout is complete rather than assuming it is.
Can you hold stock between rollouts?
Yes. We can hold your core items and release them as locations order, which avoids repeating a full sourcing cycle every time.
