How Wholesale Works
Wholesale is a business of breaking things down. Stock arrives in the largest, cheapest unit you can buy it in, often a floor-loaded container with no pallets in it at all, and then leaves in whatever size each trade customer happens to order. One customer takes six full pallets. The next takes four cases and a single unit, and wants it Thursday. That gap between how goods arrive and how they leave is where most of the cost and nearly all of the errors in wholesale distribution live, the same break-bulk discipline behind our cold logistics solutions. A warehouse built for pallets in and pallets out will handle the first half well and the second half badly.
Slow Stock
Wholesalers carry deep catalogues because being in stock is the whole offer. The problem is that the catalogue rarely earns its keep evenly. In most wholesale warehouses a small share of the product lines produces the bulk of the sales, while a long tail of slow lines sits in prime racking taking up space, capital and picking time. Because that space is usually inside a building the business already pays for, nobody puts a number against it. We report on what is actually moving, so the fast lines get the best pick locations and the slow ones get shifted to cheaper storage or flagged for clearance, the same visibility we give clients using our refrigerated transportation for temperature-sensitive lines. It is a simple change that makes picking quicker and tells you which stock is quietly costing you money every month it stays.
Our Services
Getting bulk stock in and broken down, then getting small orders out to trade customers.
Inbound & Break Bulk
Receiving, unloading and putting away bulk arrivals so stock is ready to sell the day it lands.
Order Picking & Trade Delivery
Mixed order picking and delivery to trade addresses across the region, on the day you promised.
Where Your Stock Goes
Small business addresses, not warehouses, which changes the vehicle and the delivery method.
Independent Retailers & Corner Shops
Restaurants, Cafés & Food Service
Salons, Clinics & Studios
Garages & Repair Workshops
Contractors & Trade Counters
Convenience Stores & Gas Bars
Pharmacies & Health Retailers
Retail Distribution Centres
Most of these addresses have no dock, no forklift and nobody with time to help. A pallet delivered to a restaurant at 9am has to come off the truck on a liftgate and be moved by one driver, sometimes through a front door, with chilled and frozen lines handled through our temperature-controlled shipping service. Retail distribution centres are the opposite problem, with booked appointment times, strict pallet standards and penalties when either is missed, the same standard we apply across our professional temperature-controlled logistics work. Both are normal work here, but the vehicle, the route and the pricing are different for each, so tell us the split when you ask for a quote.
What Matters Most
Live stock figures your sales team can rely on, with regular cycle counts, so nobody sells something the warehouse cannot ship.
Container arrivals come in waves rather than evenly. Reserve space expands when a shipment lands and contracts as it sells down.
Full pallets, loose cases and single units picked from the same stock, because trade orders almost never come in one clean size.
Liftgate vehicles, hand unloading and drivers who expect to carry stock inside rather than leave it at the curb.
A clear rule on whether short orders ship now and follow later or wait to go complete, applied the same way every time.
Barcodes, retail tickets and customer specific labels applied in the warehouse rather than by your customer on arrival.
Pricing
Priced on the space you hold, the shape of your orders and how far the deliveries go.
Pallet spaces held across bulk and pick locations
Pallet, case or single unit picks per order
Palletized or floor-loaded container unloading
Drops per route, distance and vehicle type
Give us a typical month of order lines and a list of where they went. We will price it properly instead of guessing at an average.
Client Feedback
“Our container unloading used to take three days and block the whole receiving area. It now gets devanned, checked and put away inside a day, which means we are selling that stock nearly a week earlier than we used to.“
Operations Director
Food Service Wholesaler, Etobicoke
“Half our customers are small builders with no forklift and no patience. Getting drivers who actually ‘carry the material in’ ended the complaints we had been living with for years, and our reorder rate went up because of it.“

Common Questions
Receiving bulk stock, storing it, breaking it down into whatever size your customers order, and delivering those orders to trade addresses. It also covers the returns and claims that come back the other way.
Yes. Containers with no pallets in them are unloaded by hand, counted, checked for damage, palletized and put away. It is slower and priced differently than a palletized container, so tell us which type you receive.
Yes, all three from the same stock. A single order can contain full pallets, loose cases and individual units without being split into separate shipments.
Yes. Liftgate vehicles are standard for trade delivery, and drivers expect to move stock off the truck and inside rather than leaving it at the curb.
However you tell us to. Short orders can ship immediately with the balance following, or be held until they can go complete. The rule is set once and applied consistently so your customers know what to expect.
Yes. Stock is visible in real time, and regular cycle counts keep the figures accurate so nobody sells something that is not there.
Yes, including barcoding, retail price tickets and labels specific to individual customers, applied in the warehouse before the order ships.
Yes, with booked delivery appointments, pallet build standards and labelling prepared to the receiver's requirements.
