Get your range into independent shops without losing track of it.
Give a retailer room to test your products without buying every unit up front. Agree sale-or-return or consignment terms before dispatch, then follow each placement from the quantity sent to the sales, returns and settlement due at that shop.
Know what each shop received and what it has sold.
No more piecing together an old spreadsheet and a message about a short delivery. Check your dispatch against the retailer’s confirmed receipt, then see sales, remaining stock and documented discrepancies for that placement.
Breakfast tea across three stockists
Keep the dispatch and receipt side by side.
You record 50 units sent; the shop confirms 48. Both counts stay on the delivery, with any supporting evidence. The agreement guides how a confirmed shortage is handled, so stock shrink is visible without treating every mismatch as a settled loss.
Start with a stockist you trust.
Invite the shop, agree how the placement will work and keep its stock history close at hand.

Short deliveries, sales by stockist and the settlement due on each placement.
How can a product brand reach independent shops without an upfront wholesale order?
A retailer can trial a range without buying every unit wholesale at the start. The brand and shop choose and agree the commercial terms, then the stock record follows products through the placement.
How can I see what each stockist has received?
Fondacos records the brand’s dispatch and the retailer’s confirmed receipt as separate events. Any shortage stays attached to that delivery for both sides to review.
How do brands keep track of sales and settlement?
Sales are recorded against the agreement and its products. Fondacos applies the agreed settlement terms, whether the arrangement is sale or return or consignment, and shows what is due alongside remaining and returned stock.
Can I manage several retailers?
Yes. Each placement has its own agreement and stock history, so you can review sales and quantities by retailer or store.
