Furniture Wholesale and Retail Distribution

Furniture wholesale distribution ships palletized orders to retailers, showrooms, interior designers and project sites. We support retailer routing guides and EDI alongside your DTC orders, using one inventory pool.

Retailer compliance and EDI

Furniture retailers and large marketplaces publish vendor requirements covering carton labels, pallet configuration, advance ship notices, appointment scheduling and delivery windows. Missing them can lead to chargebacks or refused shipments.

We follow each partner's routing guide and can exchange standard EDI documents such as purchase orders (850), advance ship notices (856) and invoices (810). Carton and pallet labels are applied to the retailer's specification, and shipments are booked with the carrier and appointment process the retailer requires.

Showroom and designer trade orders

Showrooms and design trade customers need different handling than retail distribution centers. Orders are smaller, destinations may be storefronts without docks, and pieces often need to arrive ready for display.

We ship these orders by LTL with liftgate and inside delivery where needed, or through final-mile partners when a piece should be unpacked and placed. Trade orders can include specific paperwork, sidemarks or project tags so the designer can match each piece to the right client.

Hospitality, multifamily and project delivery

Contract and project orders, such as furnishing a hotel renovation, a model unit or an office, involve many SKUs that must arrive together on a schedule. We stage project orders by room or floor, consolidate them onto pallets or full truckloads, and coordinate delivery windows with the site.

Project sites often have limited access, elevator reservations and receiving hours. Capturing those details before booking keeps the truck from being turned away. Packing lists organized by room make installation faster for the receiving team.

One inventory for DTC and B2B

Keeping wholesale and DTC inventory in separate warehouses doubles storage and makes it hard to see what is truly available. A shared pool lets you allocate stock between channels, reserve inventory for a large retail order or project, and release the rest to DTC.

Allocation rules protect important orders, and reports show inventory committed to each channel. Because multi-box sets are tracked by component, a large B2B order will not quietly consume the last chair boxes you needed for DTC dining sets.
