Getting ranged in a big box DIY retailer is a big step for any brand. Keeping your place on the shelf depends on what happens next: orders delivered complete, on time, correctly labelled and matched to the purchase order.
Hardware retailers run large distribution networks with strict supplier requirements. Late deliveries, missing labels or short-shipped orders can lead to rejected loads and unhappy buyers.
RPC Logistics has delivered to DIY stores and garden centres throughout New Zealand every week for over 25 years. We know what these retailers expect, and we have the systems and team to deliver it, whatever size your products are.
RPC delivers and fulfils into Bunnings and Mitre 10 stores right across New Zealand, on behalf of lawn mower brands, consumable brands, garden brands and more. Our team knows how these retailers order, what they expect at the receiving dock, and how to keep your products moving from our warehouse to their shelves.
SSCC pallet and carton labels, plus re-labelling and re-packing when products arrive without the right labels.
Each retailer order is picked, checked and packed against the purchase order, ready to be received at the DC.
Our own trucks deliver to hardware stores and retailer distribution centres across Auckland and nationwide.
Here’s how we get your products to hardware stores and distribution centres:
We receive your stock, check it against your paperwork and store it in our Auckland warehouse with live online visibility.
Each retailer order is picked and packed against the purchase order, with batch details recorded where needed.
We apply SSCC labels to each pallet or carton, so the retailer can scan and receive it against the order.
Our own trucks deliver to stores and distribution centres on time for booked delivery windows.
An SSCC (Serial Shipping Container Code) label gives every pallet or carton a unique GS1 barcode. Distribution centres scan it to receive your delivery against the purchase order. We apply SSCC labels for hardware retailers and for supermarket distribution centres, so your stock is accepted first time.
Before your first order ships, make sure you have the basics in place:
If products arrive without the right labels or packaging, our value-added services team can re-label, re-pack and kit them before they go out.
