Logistics for Specialist Lifestyle Brands & Marketplaces

For lifestyle brands beyond standard categories

Your products may not fit neatly into sports, beauty, jewellery or another established lifestyle category. Your logistics don't need to fit a standard model either.

From pet accessories and stationery to gifting, home products, celebration goods and emerging consumer categories, we support lifestyle brands with products that sit outside traditional sectors.

We shape the logistics setup around your products, channels, volumes and specific operational requirements.

Logistics designed around the way your business works

Every lifestyle business has its own logistics requirements. These can be shaped by your products, assortment size, order profiles, sales channels, volumes and service needs.

By looking at how these elements work together, we create an operation that reflects the way your business actually works — whether you sell within one specialist category, across multiple categories or through a marketplace.

What shapes your logistics operation?

Product mix

Different products can require specific storage, handling and fulfilment processes based on their characteristics.

Assortment

Broad or changing catalogues require an operation that can manage different SKUs and requirements efficiently.

Order profile

Individual consumer orders, larger B2B shipments and marketplace volumes each create different fulfilment requirements. We design the operation around the order profiles relevant to your business.

Channels

D2C, marketplaces, retail and wholesale can be managed through one logistics setup.

Volume

Daily demand, peak periods and changing product ranges require the capacity to adjust when needed.

Operational requirements

Packaging, product preparation, labelling and other requirements can be built into the fulfilment process.

Marketplace logistics and fulfilment at scale

Marketplace operations bring together high order volumes, broad product ranges and constantly changing demand. Every order still needs to move quickly, accurately and with clear visibility across the operation.

We bring warehousing, inventory management, fulfilment, distribution and returns together in one connected setup. Processes are designed around your service levels, markets and growth plans, giving you the flexibility to manage daily volumes, peak periods and future expansion without losing control.

Amazon.nl: marketplace fulfilment at scale

Bleckmann’s operation in Almelo shows how a connected fulfilment setup can support the pace, volume and complexity of a large ecommerce marketplace.

Located close to the German border and connected to Amazon.nl’s international logistics network, the fulfilment centre can process up to 25,000 parcels a day. Bleckmann manages the site’s operational activities, bringing capacity, control and reliable execution together in one scalable operation.

AU Vodka: from first contact to first orders in days

For brands outside traditional lifestyle categories, flexibility can be just as important as scale. Bleckmann's work with AU Vodka shows what agile onboarding can look like when a fast-growing brand needs to move quickly.

From the first contact on 24 December to shipping the first orders on 2 January, both teams moved at speed. After going live in seven days, AU Vodka delivered a record flavour launch two months later, with all orders shipped within 24 hours of being placed.
