PrimoFare Platform
We integrate with prominent marketplaces such as Amazon, Walmart, and Target, offering an end-to-end solution that encompasses import and domestic logistics, inventory management, brand protection, customer service, and targeted marketplace marketing.

Path-to-Shelf Strategy
Our focus on direct-to-consumer (DTC) models allows products to organically build a fan base, making them more appealing for retail consideration. Successful e-commerce performance paves the way for negotiation of in-store opportunities from a position of strength.

Our Unique Approach
Unlike traditional supply chains:
Traditional Model
Typically relies on distributors focusing only on established products, leaving suppliers at the mercy of retailers who often dictate terms and have little patience for slower-moving SKUs
PrimoFare Model
We transform the traditional approach by positioning products directly in front of consumers, utilizing fair and transparent marketplace rules, and offering more patience for nurturing slow-growing SKUs. Producers maintain control of their marketing budgets while establishing strong relationships with end customers.
