STAGE

Post‑pilot to scale

Investment Thesis

The bottleneck for Turkish products in the U.S. isn’t demand—it’s distribution. Brands need compliant import, cost‑efficient storage, and reliable last‑mile options. We back companies building Grey Fulfillment–style networks: customs‑cleared inbound, EDI‑ready wholesale, and omnichannel shipping that scales.

What We Back

  • Regional hubs & micro‑warehouses with WMS/OMS and carrier integrations
  • Cross‑dock & consolidation services; FCL/LCL programs from TR/EU to U.S.
  • Amazon FBA/FBM prep, D2C pick‑pack‑ship, returns processing
  • Distributor & broker networks for grocery, specialty, and food‑service
  • EDI‑ready wholesale and big‑box onboarding (GS1, ASN/SSCC, UCC128)

Value‑Creation Playbook

  • Customs & compliance: HTS classification, FDA/USDA holds, FSVP docs, surety bonds
  • Network design: port selection, hub & spoke layout, SLA/OTIF targets, carrier mix
  • Systems: WMS/OMS, EDI, inventory accuracy, lot/expiry tracking
  • Channel access: distributor RFPs, category reviews, planograms, chargeback prevention
  • Unit economics: storage & pick fees, DIM weight, route optimization, returns cost

Sub‑Funds

  • Fulfillment & Micro‑Warehouse Fund
  • Logistics Franchise Network
  • Distributor & Wholesaler Partnerships

Use of Proceeds

Facility leases & racking; WMS/OMS & EDI setup; equipment (conveyors, scanners); carrier contracts; first‑mile/last‑mile pilots; broker fees; initial inventory buffers.

What We Measure

  • OTIF %, SLA adherence, inventory accuracy, dock‑to‑stock time
  • Cost per order/carton, damage & return rates, chargebacks
  • Doors opened, distributor coverage, e‑commerce delivery speed

Risks & Mitigation

Port congestion & delays → multi‑port strategy, priority drayage, buffer inventory
Carrier capacity & rate spikes → diversified carrier mix, long‑term contracts
Chargebacks & deductions → EDI accuracy, label/carton spec compliance, audit trail
Demand variability → flexible staffing, pop‑up hubs, dynamic replenishment

Governance & Reporting

Monthly logistics dashboards, OTIF & cost reporting, quarterly board reviews, and annual vendor audits; 100‑day network launch plan.
