G.H. Bass has been making shoes since 1876, and the Weejuns loafer is older than most of the shops that sell it. Dunes, the exclusive distributor in France, brings it to retailers. Together with SUBU and Tretorn, all through the same private platform.

Stock and pre-order, without doing it twice

A retailer orders in two ways. From stock, for what needs to be on the shelves now. And in advance, for the season that’s still to come. Those are two different worlds, with different delivery dates, different minimum quantities and different planning at the distributor.

In the shop they’re two modes of the same thing. Click pre-order and you see next season’s collection, the delivery window and the deadline. Your pre-order stays separate from your regular orders, and the distributor immediately sees how many pairs to buy in.

Connected to what’s behind it

A wholesale shop never stands alone. Stock comes from the ERP, orders go to logistics, invoices to accounting and confirmations to the customer. We connect the platform to the software the client already uses: via SFTP, an API or, if need be, an Excel file. Made to measure every time, because no two warehouses work the same way.

Same platform, different shoes

G.H. Bass runs on our B2B platform: a private wholesale shop for brands and their distributors. One foundation, finished to measure every time and connected to the software that’s already there. Also in this orbit:

Igor · SUBU · Tretorn · &Other Step · Home Studyo · Herschel · Bon Parfumeur · Parkland

One platform, lots of brands. Dunes even runs three of them at once.
