Services
1. Logistics
We run logistics as one integrated, international service, following the product from the origin warehouse all the way to the point of sale — a single structure handling pickup, storage, shipping and after-sales.
Worldwide service – EXW pickups
We operate internationally with ex-works (EXW) pickups: we collect goods directly from the supplier’s warehouse and manage transport and delivery, wherever it may be.
3PL – Third-party logistics
We offer clients and suppliers a full outsourced logistics service, managing warehousing and shipping on their behalf.
Dropshipping
We offer a dropshipping model to a select group of clients, with real benefits:
1. Higher margins for the retailer
2. Stronger end-customer loyalty
3. Richer sell-through data for the brand
Tailor Made
We customise packaging and order preparation to each client’s needs:
1. Dedicated packaging

We also offer MSR (Musical Size Run): each box is delivered with a complete size run, ready to be displayed in-store — a particularly effective solution for large retail chains.
