Arend Group
Distribution as a Service:
taking the load off the whole chain
Four pillars, one partner
Each pillar stands on its own.
Together they lighten the load across the chain.
Arend Digital
ERP implementations and e-commerce in the broadest sense, plus data, dashboards and integrations.
Standard first, custom work only where it is truly needed.
Arend Retail
A complete back office for brands and their independent representatives.
We support; the selling stays with them.
Arend Events
Networking events, product demonstrations and live music.
With technical and organisational support in-house.
Arend Consulting
Process reviews, AI policy, digital transformation and supply chain.
Advice that starts from the problem, not from the technology.
Why Arend Group
Neutral, secure
and legally sound
Neutral
Arend Group does not buy or sell goods and plays no part in sales. That is why every link in the chain can trust us.
Secure
Each client works in its own shielded database. One party's data never reaches another without an explicit agreement.
Legally sound
We have every solution that handles data legally reviewed before we build it. Privacy, competition law and confidentiality are the starting point, not an afterthought.
How we get started
1
Process review
We map where work gets stuck and what solving it would deliver.
2
Proof of value
One process, a fixed timeframe and a success criterion agreed in advance.
3
Implementation
We set up the environment and the integrations, each with its own database.
4
Follow-up and growth
Support as agreed. We only take the next step once the previous one delivers results.

What is Distribution as a Service?
A way to relieve and connect the distribution chain digitally, so every party can focus on what it does best. It comes in several forms, tailored to your situation.
Is Arend Group a distributor or wholesaler?
No. We do not buy or sell goods, hold no stock and are not involved in sales.
Is Arend Group an Odoo partner?
Yes. Even so, we are platform-independent: other packages such as Becosoft, Optedo, WordPress, WooCommerce and Shopify are also possible. If we see that Odoo could solve things with less complexity, we will gladly discuss it with you, without obligation.
Does it work with my own data?
Yes. We start from your own data model and build the solution on top of it. You do not need to belong to any network.
What about custom development?
Custom work never comes first. We get the most out of the standard software and only build something bespoke when it is truly needed.
How do I get started?
Via the form at the bottom of this page. The coffee is always on. (Decaf works too...) 😊
Frequently asked questions
What business owners ask us most often.
Only you and the people you give access to.
Anything shared with another party is agreed in advance and in writing.
No. AI can be the answer, but only where it is needed and makes the work more efficient.
Yes. Most clients start with a process review or a single process, and expand step by step.
