05Service · Global Distribution

Reach 40+ countriesthrough one partner.And one operating model.

Distribution is the part of international expansion most teams underestimate and most agencies subcontract. We operate it ourselves — through partner warehouses, customs experts, and retailer relationships built over a decade — so your product moves the way your brand promises it will.

Logistics is brand experience, just delayed by 72 hours.

If your product arrives late, damaged, or with a customs surcharge the customer wasn't warned about, the brand promise breaks. Most failures inside cross-border ecommerce are not marketing failures; they're operations failures wearing marketing clothes. We treat distribution as the front line of brand and revenue, with the seriousness it deserves.

"Customers don't blame UPS. They blame you. And then they tell their friends."

Capabilities

What this engagement actually includes.

Warehousing & 3PL operations

Pre-vetted 3PL partners in 22 countries with negotiated rates, plus operational SLA management and weekly performance reviews. We onboard, monitor, and replace when standards slip.

Last-mile carrier strategy

Carrier mix optimization by market, parcel insurance, returns logistics, and the constant rate negotiation that keeps shipping cost from quietly destroying margin.

Customs & trade compliance

HS classification, importer of record arrangements, duty optimization, FTA leverage where eligible, restricted-product handling. We keep customs from becoming a recurring tax on your roadmap.

Retail distribution & wholesale

Buyer relationships across department stores, specialty chains, and independents in Japan and APAC. We open the doors, negotiate the terms, and manage the trade calendar.

Cross-border freight

Ocean and air freight forwarding via long-term partners. Honest carbon math available on request.

Operational analytics

One dashboard across warehouses, carriers, marketplaces, and retail sell-through. We unify what is usually fragmented across vendors and tabs.

Ongoing
Case study · Korean brand expanding to Japan + EU

Two regions, one operating model, 22% landed-cost reduction.

A Korean home goods brand was using a different 3PL and freight forwarder per market, with a different ops manager managing each. We consolidated to two anchor warehouse partners (Tokyo and Rotterdam), renegotiated freight under a single tender, and unified analytics into one dashboard. Landed cost dropped 22%, on-time delivery rose to 98.7%, and ops headcount stayed flat while revenue grew 70%.

"Deebo absorbed our entire fragmented logistics stack and gave us back a single number that we could actually trust. That changed the way the company runs."

Why Deebo

Three reasons clients choose us for this.

01

Our partner network is vetted, not aggregated.

Every 3PL, carrier, and forwarder in our network is one we have personally audited and currently operate against. No sourcing-marketplace surprises.

02

We carry the SLA risk with you.

Our retainer is structured so that operational underperformance hits us, not just our partners. That's why partners stay sharp.

03

We unify what others fragment.

Most international ops setups end up as a tab graveyard across five vendors. We collapse the operating picture into a single weekly review you can act on.

FAQ

Honest answers to honest questions.

Do you own warehouses?

+
No. We operate through long-term partnerships with vetted 3PLs in each region. This keeps capacity flexible to your demand and avoids the capex penalty of owned infrastructure. We negotiate your terms as if they were ours.

Can you handle restricted categories like supplements, cosmetics, or electronics?

+
Yes. Restricted categories are where our customs and compliance experience pays off. We have active engagements in supplements (Japan, Korea, Singapore), cosmetics (Japan, Greater China, EU), small electronics, and food adjacencies.

What about retail distribution beyond ecommerce?

+
We actively manage retailer relationships with department stores, specialty chains, and category-specific independents in Japan and across APAC. We can scope a retail-only engagement or include it in a broader distribution build-out.

How do you charge for distribution work?

+
Setup is fixed-fee. Ongoing operations are a base operating retainer plus a per-order or per-shipment activity component, depending on scale. Transparent, no markups on partner pass-through.
