Arend Retail in short
Brands and distributors that work with independent representatives need structure: orders, invoices, product data, returns and follow-up. Arend Retail takes that work off their hands entirely.
The representative stays independent and decides on customers, approach and prices. Arend Group does not sell and does not steer sales.
That keeps the relationship between brand, representative and shop direct.
What the brand representative gets
Everything a modern distributor has in-house.
In a dedicated environment, also on the road.
Your own workspace
Customers, quotes, orders and follow-up per brand, in a database of your own.
Accessible anywhere.
From order to payment
All the admin after the sale, fully taken care of.
Linked to your accountant.
Logistics of your choice
Through a buying collective, your own warehouse or a logistics partner.
You choose what works best.
Always up-to-date product information
For you and for your customers, linked to their online shop or till.
No more outdated price lists.
More than software
Support
in the broadest sense
Coaching
A sparring partner for your customer portfolio, prospecting and planning. Advice, not targets: you decide.

Good to know
Arend Retail at a glance.
Does Arend Group represent brands?
No. Arend Group does not buy or sell goods and is not involved in sales. We provide the structure; the representative sells.
Who is it for?
For brands and distributors that work with independent representatives, and for representatives who want to focus on their customers.
Why not simply use a distributor?
A traditional distributor stands between brand and customer. Here the relationship stays direct, and brand and representative stay in control.
What does the brand see?
Only what concerns its own products. Never data from other brands.
Does it work without a buying collective?
Yes. A collective is one option, your own logistics solution is another.
How do I start?
Via the form at the bottom of the page. Let us know whether you are a brand, a distributor or a representative.
Frequently asked questions
What brands and representatives ask us.
Yes. Your customers, your approach and your brands remain yours. Arend Group sets no targets.
As soon as your brands' data is in, we set up the environment.
We agree a start date in advance.
Yes. Each representative gets a separate environment. They cannot see each other's data.
More time for your customers,
less for your admin.
In a conversation we show you what that looks like for your brands.
