About Our Retail Consolidation Services
Retail logistics can get messy fast. Multiple suppliers, delivery schedules and order requirements often create gaps that cost you time and money. Our retail consolidation services close those gaps. We bring every shipment into one coordinated flow.
Every product that comes through our doors is scanned, verified and logged into our system the moment it arrives. From small parcels to full pallets, everything is handled under strict accuracy checks and stored safely until it’s ready to move. Nothing leaves our facility without being double-checked against retailer requirements.
Because we manage high-volume retail shipments every day, we know how to move goods efficiently. Our relationships with trusted carriers let us secure better rates and faster routes and you benefit from both. You’ll always know where your products are and when they’ll arrive, thanks to real-time visibility built into every stage.
We also take compliance guidelines seriously. Whether your products are crossing borders or being delivered to major retail chains, we make sure every label, routing guide and document meets the required standards.

Our Retail Consolidation Process
Behind every smooth delivery is a system that leaves nothing to chance. Our retail consolidation process protects your products and gives you full control over inventory.
Step 1
Inbound Receiving and Inspection
Every shipment that enters our consolidation center is checked against your manifest. We inspect packaging integrity, verify quantities and confirm product descriptions before anything moves forward. If there's any damage or mismatch, you're notified right away, so no surprises later. This initial check is important to make sure the entire process starts on solid ground.
Step 2
Sorting and Documentation
Once received, products are sorted based on category, destination and delivery priority. Each item is barcoded and labeled for traceability, giving you a complete digital audit trail. Our documentation process keeps orders organized and eliminates errors.
Step 3
Storage and Inventory Management
After inspection and sorting, inventory moves into secure, climate-controlled storage. Every movement is tracked in real time through our warehouse management system. You can access your data anytime. It's full transparency.
Step 4
Order Consolidation and Packing
When it's time to ship, we group products heading to the same destination into one consolidated load. This reduces freight costs and keeps shipments organized. Our team uses protective materials and optimized packing methods to prevent damage and simplify last-mile distribution.
Step 5
Shipping and Delivery Oversight
Once packed and labeled, shipments are scheduled for delivery using the most efficient transport mode, whether that's full truckload, LTL shipments, parcel or multimodal. We oversee each delivery from dispatch to receipt. Our goal is to keep your supply chain moving without interruptions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which types of products can be consolidated?
Any non-hazardous, legally compliant goods are generally feasible to consolidate: apparel, electronics, home decor, accessories, books, etc. Items requiring special handling (temperature control, fragile materials) can also be included under custom care plans.
How do you ensure packaging minimizes damage during transit?
We provide: cushioning, correct box size, protective inserts, strong sealants and quality-grade packaging materials. For fragile items, extra padding or specialized packaging is available.
What are your turnaround times for shipments?
Turnaround depends on scale, product type and destination. Typically, once items are consolidated and packed, shipments leave within 24-48 hours. Specialized orders may have longer delivery time, depending on shipping schedules.
Do you offer storage for seasonal or slow-moving stock?
Yes, we have flexible storage arrangements. Seasonal or slow sellers can be stored in lower-cost zones and moved or reactivated when demand comes back, keeping your operation lean.
What kind of customer support can I expect?
You’ll be assigned a dedicated account manager. Our operations team is responsive to calls or messages and you’ll have access to regular updates and reports.
How are returns or overstocks managed in consolidation?
We can inspect returned goods, re-package, re-stock or dispose according to your instructions. Overstocks can be held until you need to redistribute or consolidate in back-to-stock shipments. In any case, we will try to help you reduce transportation costs, among other things.
What security measures do you have at your facility?
At the River Plate Inc. facility, we have strong security measures, including restricted access, surveillance cameras, fire suppression systems, climate controls and protocols for handling staff and visitor access to protect your inventory.
