About us
Ankorstore is on a mission to rewild retail !
With decades of experience in retail and building marketplaces, in 2019 the Ankorstore founding team knew it was time to create a global wholesale solution – one that swings the balance in favour of independents and restores retail to its natural order !
They’ve created a new ecosystem that harnesses the power of modern technology to create a mutually beneficial community that reinvents the way brands and retailers work together. As a result, wild independents can thrive.
Logistics is a pain for both retailers and brands. Independent retailers struggle with inventory management and reliable delivery while brands prefer to focus on marketing and product. Our mission is to delight our customers by creating an amazing product and delivery experience. We want to set new standards for businesses and brands.
We help brands ship their orders seamlessly and everywhere by partnering with the most relevant logistics partners. We help retailers by respecting the promised delivery date, decreasing click-to-order lead times, securing inventory and making sure the product comes in perfect condition. This is a unique opportunity to have a meaningful impact on our customers and to get a 360 view on the e-commerce BtoB supply chain (transportation, fulfillment, cross-border shipping).
Before summer 2022, the products were all stored and prepared at the brand’s premises. In order to reach new delivery service levels while decreasing our costs, we rolled out our Fulfillment offer, where Ankorstore stores products and prepares orders on behalf of the brand. Our first Fulfillment Centre opened at the beginning of July 2022, and has ramped out since then: storing products from more than 250 brands, and preparing and shipping more than 30% of all Ankorstore orders. It is one of the most strategic projects for Ankorstore.
This internship is designed to give you hands-on experience in process mapping, data analysis, and project management within a fast-paced logistics environment.
