FORT Exchange Suppliers

For Suppliers

In many industries today, it is difficult for all but the largest suppliers to gain significant distribution, and to capture the attention of wholesale partners.  FORT Exchange focuses on several key features to help address this problem, including its own robust fulfillment management system, a national network of wholesalers and freight forwarders, and on creating economies of scale through multiple high volume accounts.  

FORT Exchange Wholesalers and Freight Forwarders help make FX an ultra-efficient channel

For Wholesalers

Many wholesalers are being squeezed by large competitors, and it is becoming more and more difficult to survive as a small or medium-sized player.  FORT Exchange provides multiple tools for wholesalers to help them manage all aspects of their business more efficiently.  From compliance reporting to sales management tools, FX can help wholesalers compete far more effectively. 

FORT Exchange Buyers

For Buyers

Professional buyers have never been busier.  In several industries, buyers must place orders through multiple systems, involving many different wholesaler providers.   This ordering process is not only inefficient and error prone, but can also make it very hard to maintain accurate product and inventory records. FX provides buyers a single, streamlined platform to manage all purchases.
