Services

We handle marketing, sales, e-commerce and logistics for brand manufacturers. Completely or in individual modules.

From shelf to invoice.

We take on the whole chain, or just the parts you are missing. Nine disciplines, one contact.

  • Online marketing

    Performance marketing across the whole funnel. We build brands online.

  • DMV-Store & E-Commerce

    We sell on Amazon, eBay, Kaufland, OTTO and in our own DMV Store.

  • Key Account Management

    6 key account managers. Each one knows their customers in drugstores, grocery, hypermarkets and online retail personally.

  • Field sales

    24 field reps, around 4,300 stores. They take orders, look after the shelf and check prices.

  • Sales back office

    7 colleagues. Every customer has fixed contacts, from first enquiry to complaint.

  • Logistics

    Warehouses in Bad Pyrmont, Hille and Moosdorf. Imports from China, the USA, the UK and the EU.

Two ways to work together

Full-service distribution

We take over exclusive distribution of your brand. We buy the goods and sell them to retailers on our own account. You get everything from one partner.

Sales Service

You keep your own sales and book only what is missing. Field sales, key account management or e-commerce, for example.

How we work

  • Open numbers: term sheet and open book policy.
  • A margin model you can check yourself.
  • A fixed team of product management, supply chain and key account people for your brand.
