Dotcom Reps helps manufacturers add new sales channels to an existing customer base without increasing overhead or making drastic changes to existing business models. Expanding your online retail presence with our ecommerce sales rep service will increase your gross sales.

Experience proves that our customers can make a higher profit margin online than offline. In some cases a retailer’s e-commerce division requires less profit margin to operate because the overhead and risk within the e-retail division is much lower compared to traditional brick-and-mortar retailing. This reduced profit margin on the retailer side can create an opportunity to cover the low cost of our services.

Most online retailers have two programs available for new vendors:

#1: Inventory is procured directly from vendor and shipped to the retailer distribution center. The retailer owns the merchandise, they will issue purchase orders on an “as needed” basis depending on sell-through rate.

#2: Inventory is ordered on a just-in-time basis, you are responsible for maintaining adequate inventory at your company warehouse. When a consumer orders the product online, the retailer will remit a purchase order and packing slip with instructions to ship within a specified window (typically 24-48hrs). Inventory may be purchased in as few as one unit per purchase order. This process is widely known as drop-shipping.

After we have established your business a vendor of record and successfully integrated your products online, here is a simple chronology of how the drop-ship ordering process works:
