How we work

From first question to delivered pallet.

Tell us which products you are looking for, approximate volumes and the destination country. We come back with a relevant range and prices, and go through order size, delivery set-up and payment terms.

Your market and needs

Tell us which country you import to, how the products will be sold and which goods and volumes you are looking for – plus any labelling and documentation requirements.

Assortment and quote

We match your needs with our suppliers and propose products, pack sizes, alternatives and a quote.

Product check

We collect product information from the suppliers and check shelf life, ingredients, nutrition values and labelling details ahead of the order.

Purchasing and consolidation

Goods are ordered from one or several suppliers and brought together with our logistics partners in Sweden.

Shipping

We confirm pallet count, weights and delivery terms, and coordinate transport and export documents according to the agreed set-up.

Ongoing partnership

We follow up on what works in your market and plan the next order – range, prices and availability.

Lead times, minimum orders and payment terms depend on market, products and volume – we agree them with each customer.

Best-before dates are checked against supplier data, and pallets and weights confirmed before freight is booked.

Logistics

Consolidated in Sweden, shipped to you.

We work with logistics partners in Sweden who receive goods from many suppliers and build your order. We coordinate freight to your market – by road or sea, and for both dry and chilled goods.

  • Full and mixed pallets
  • Road and sea freight
  • Export documents coordinated

Common questions

Can I mix brands and products in one order?

Yes. Combining products from several Nordic suppliers in one order is the core of what we do, and many products can be shipped on mixed pallets.

Is there a minimum order?

It depends on the products and suppliers. Some producers have minimum quantities per item or per order – we tell you in the quote and suggest ways to reach them, for example by adding related products.

What are the lead times?

They vary with supplier, product and destination. You get an estimated timeline with the quote, and we confirm it when the order is placed.

How much shelf life will the products have?

We check best-before dates against supplier data before freight is booked. If you need a minimum remaining shelf life, tell us in your request.

Can you help with labelling for my market?

We collect ingredients, nutrition values and specifications from the producers. For some orders, labelling in the destination language can be arranged – ask us about your market.

How are the goods transported?

By road or sea, for both dry and chilled goods. We coordinate freight and export documents according to the delivery terms we agree on.

What are the payment terms?

Payment terms are agreed with each customer.
