B2B Distribution in Sydney
OPS 3PL handles wholesale and B2B order distribution from Rosebery, Sydney, alongside direct-to-consumer fulfilment — from the same stock pool, so you are not splitting inventory across two providers.
One stock pool, two channels
The common failure in growing brands is holding retail stock in one place and ecommerce stock in another. You end up with stock sitting in the wrong channel while the other runs out. We hold a single pool and allocate against whichever order arrives, which means fewer stockouts and one set of numbers to reconcile.
How B2B differs in practice
A wholesale order is not just a bigger consumer order. It usually carries requirements the retailer will charge you for getting wrong:
- Carton and pallet labelling to the retailer’s specification
- Advance shipping notices sent before the delivery arrives
- Booking into a delivery window rather than turning up
- Purchase order references carried through to the paperwork
- Specific pallet configurations and heights
We work to those requirements as instructed rather than assuming a default, because the penalty for a non-compliant delivery lands on your account, not ours.
Kitting and rework
Retail-ready packs, display units, multi-buys, promotional bundles and relabelling are handled as kitting and rework. If a range needs re-working for a specific retailer or a promotion, our teams operate to your written instructions rather than improvising.
Cold chain for wholesale
Chilled stock is held at 2–6°C in a digitally monitored cool room and can be despatched to retailers under the same temperature discipline as consumer orders.
Reporting
You get inventory tracking and custom reporting, so you can see what is allocated, what is on hand and what has shipped — per channel, not just in aggregate.
How it is charged
There is no minimum term and no lock-in contract. Storage is charged on the pallet or bin positions your stock occupies, per week, and handling per order — so a seasonal wholesale profile costs what it costs rather than what you forecast twelve months ago.
Frequently asked questions
Can you hold one stock pool for both wholesale and ecommerce?
Yes. We hold a single pool and allocate against whichever order arrives, rather than holding retail stock in one place and ecommerce stock in another. That means fewer stockouts and one set of numbers to reconcile.
Can you meet retailer compliance requirements?
Yes. We work to carton and pallet labelling specifications, send advance shipping notices before the delivery arrives, book into delivery windows, carry purchase order references through the paperwork, and build to specified pallet configurations and heights. We work to your written instructions rather than assuming a default, because the penalty for a non-compliant delivery lands on your account.
What is an advance shipping notice (ASN)?
An ASN is a notification sent to the retailer before the delivery physically arrives, stating what is coming, in what configuration and against which purchase order. Most major retailers require one and charge for deliveries that arrive without it.
Do you handle retail-ready packs and display units?
Yes. Retail-ready packs, display units, multi-buys, promotional bundles and relabelling are handled as kitting and rework, to your written instructions rather than improvised.
Can you distribute chilled stock to retailers?
Yes. Chilled stock is held at 2-6°C in a digitally monitored cool room and despatched to retailers under the same temperature discipline as consumer orders.
Is there a minimum term for B2B distribution?
No. There is no minimum term and no lock-in contract. Storage is charged on the pallet or bin positions your stock occupies, per week, and handling per order, so a seasonal wholesale profile costs what it costs rather than what you forecast twelve months ago.
