Logistics and Order Fulfillment

Grovara has developed a proprietary Pallet Builder, which is driven by algorithms that account for products’ pricing, heights, weights, dimensions, ingredients, temperature, expiration dates, and more based on data from IX-ONE, the food and beverage industry leader in product data and image capture.

From the platform’s easy-to-use dashboard, buyers can see in real-time whether they have hit the minimum or maximum volume for an order. They can also view the pallet type, such as Heat-Treated Ambient Wood for Wholesome Sweeteners fair trade and non-GMO cane sugar or Chilled Wood for refrigerated GT’s Kombucha.

Grovara buyers have unprecedented flexibility in placing an order:

  • Order by sample, layer, or pallet, and view total cases ordered and price changes in real-time.
  • Purchase multiple products (SKUs) or even multiple brands in the same order.
  • Order a best-selling pallet for which Grovara, powered by SPINS industry data, is doing the merchandising.
  • Transact secure and fast payments via online wire transfers (coming soon).

Grovara’s end-to-end logistics and fulfillment model also provides access to a network of trusted partners that offer competitive shipping quotes and standardized shipping documentation.

We continue to monitor the entire process, ensuring timely notifications and ongoing communication between all parties, no matter the final destination.
