Fulfillment Process Improvement

About us 

Launched in 2019 by four co-founders, experts in the retail and marketplace sectors, Ankorstore has established itself as Europe's leading B2B platform connecting brands and independent retailers.

Ankorstore is built on a simple yet vital insight: independent retailers are essential to the vibrancy and attractiveness of our town centres. However, faced with evolving consumer habits and the dominance of mass retail and e-commerce, these local businesses often struggle to adapt and innovate.

To address this challenge, Ankorstore has developed an innovative, global, and technology-driven solution that enables independent retailers to diversify their product ranges while benefiting from competitive commercial terms. Brands, in turn, benefit from a strong network and efficient tools to extend their reach and boost their activity.

By empowering retailers to compete with major players, Ankorstore aims to transform long-term collaboration between brands and retailers

Logistics is a pain for both retailers and brands. Independent retailers struggle with inventory management and reliable delivery while brands prefer to focus on marketing and product. Our mission is to delight our customers by creating an amazing product and delivery experience. We want to set new standards for businesses and brands.

We help brands ship their orders seamlessly and everywhere by partnering with the most relevant logistics partners. We help retailers by respecting the promised delivery date, decreasing click-to-order lead times, securing inventory and making sure the product comes in perfect condition. This is a unique opportunity to have a meaningful impact on our customers and to get a 360 view on the e-commerce BtoB supply chain (transportation, fulfillment, cross-border shipping).

Before summer 2022, the products were all stored and prepared at the brand's premises. In order to reach new delivery service levels while decreasing our costs, we rolled out our Fulfillment offer, where Ankorstore stores products and prepares orders on behalf of the brand. Our first Fulfillment Centre opened at the beginning of July 2022, and has ramped out since then: storing products from more than 250 brands, and preparing and shipping more than 30% of all Ankorstore orders. It is one of the most strategic projects for Ankorstore.
