- Merchandise Replenishment & Receiving: whether it’s a single skid or a full container, we separate items by store and quantity per instruction. We coordinate delivery, pick-up, unpacking and assembly as needed.
- Fixture Installations & Swaps: We receive new retail fixtures and pre-assemble as needed, coordinating delivery, anchoring and assembly in stores or malls. We will also pick up old fixtures, pack and prepare for return or delivery to another retail location.
- Consolidation & Holding: For new or remodeling stores that do not want merchandise among the mess of construction, we receive merchandise based on your verified PO list; auditing the quantities and condition upon receipt. Once all items for a stage are received, we coordinate with site contractors for delivery, pulling only items for any given stage as needed.
