Shaw-Ross’s suppliers benefit from the full-service capabilities of its Commercial and Back Office Teams.
Although the vast majority of Shaw-Ross’ suppliers utilize their full-service model including the expertise of their Commercial Team, some suppliers require an alternative route to market. In these instances, Shaw-Ross offers their Back Office services independently.
The Back Office team handles the following services:
Shaw-Ross manages their supplier partners’ logistic requirements, including ocean freight, importation, and customs clearance. Shaw-Ross coordinates inland freight and distributor collection from their warehouses and handles direct importation to distributors where appropriate.
Shaw-Ross manages supplier-owned inventory stored under the Shaw-Ross account at the Jillamy, PA, stateside warehouse. The supplier must possess Federal Basic Permit to ensure compliance with owning stateside inventory.
Shaw-Ross has a dedicated compliance department to apply for TTB COLAs, and register brands in all applicable states under the Shaw-Ross license or its affiliates where necessary. Shaw-Ross’ pricing department price files brands in open and control states requiring regular postings and filing.
Shaw-Ross invoices distributors and collects payments, processing and paying distributor charge-back invoices in a timely fashion. Shaw-Ross also consolidates distributor invoices and streamlines the accounts receivable process for their supplier partners.
Shaw-Ross suppliers receive comprehensive monthly shipment and depletion reports by state, ensuring their ability to keep a finger on the pulse of their US business. Additionally, Shaw-Ross’ warehouses are equipped with EDI integration, which allows for accuracy and efficiency across the supply chain.
