About us 

Ankorstore is on a mission to rewild retail !

With decades of experience in retail and building marketplaces, in 2019 the Ankorstore founding team knew it was time to create a global wholesale solution – one that swings the balance in favour of independents and restores retail to its natural order !

They’ve created a new ecosystem that harnesses the power of modern technology to create a mutually beneficial community that reinvents the way brands and retailers work together. As a result, wild independents can thrive.

The team 

Logistics is at the heart of Ankorstore's unique value proposition. Logistics and its daily execution is critical and often not well mastered enough by both retailers and brands. Independent retailers do not enjoy convenience and good services linked to supply Chain/logistics (speed, reliability of deliveries,  restocking, inventory management,...) whilst Brands report juggling various operational activities and fail at optimizing costs. This leaves space for a state of the art Logistics proposition carried by Ankorstore to solve this problem, bring services & economy of scales to this ecosystem,  set new standards within the B2B industry whilst generating operational margin for Ankorstore. 

From an operational standpoint, we aim at helping brands ship their orders seamlessly by partnering with the most relevant logistics partners. We help retailers with outstanding delivery experience, fast and reliable resolution experience when issue occurs and smart inventory management services.

This is a unique opportunity to have a meaningful impact on our customers and to get a 360 view of the e-commerce BtoB supply chain (transportation, fulfillment, cross-border shipping).

Before summer 2022, the products were all stored and prepared at the brand’s premises. In order to reach new delivery service levels while decreasing our costs, we just rolled out our Fulfillment offer, where Ankorstore stores products and prepares orders on behalf of the brand. Our first Fulfillment Centre opened beginning of July 2022, and is currently ramping as we are onboarding new brands.

Main responsibilities 

Working under the supervision of the Lead Inventory Manager, responsibilities include:

• Demand & Supply Planning: for your brands’ portfolio, you will manage all Supply Chain Planning processes: sales forecast, distribution parameters, replenishment planning. You will make sure your brands send the right level of stocks to the Fulfillment Centre so that we can properly fulfill their orders.

• Brands performance monitoring: you will report on key indicators for your brands, such as fulfillment use rate, stock availability, etc., making sure they make the most of the Fulfillment service. 

• Brands logistics support to Fulfillment: you will be the key contact of your brands for all Fulfillment-related topics, in addition to the regular account manager (sales) of the brand. On top of that you act as a relay of the customer service during peak seasons.
