Test a better route for your existing EU orders.
AP-DIS helps specialist British manufacturers assess selected EU inventory and local fulfilment without committing to a full European operation from the outset.
Built for manufacturers already selling into Europe.
The strongest starting case is a manufacturer with visible European demand and avoidable friction in its current UK-to-EU fulfilment process.
Existing EU demand
You already receive EU orders or serious enquiries.
Individual UK shipments
European parcels currently cross the border one order at a time.
Delivery pressure
Customers would benefit from clearer, more predictable delivery.
Returns friction
International returns add cost and customer-service work.
No owned EU operation
You want to test local stock without building a European subsidiary or warehouse.
Specialist products
Your range has clear technical, quality, or enthusiast value.
Fulfilment first, with room to develop.
EU Fulfilment offers the lowest-commitment entry. Other models become relevant only where demand, operations, and commercial fit justify them.
EU Fulfilment
The primary starting model. You retain ownership of selected EU inventory while AP-DIS handles agreed order fulfilment and returns activity.
Managed EU Stock
A demand-led model in which product selection, stock levels, replenishment, ownership, and terms are agreed around real order evidence.
Distribution
A selective model for suitable brands and markets, where AP-DIS may purchase stock and develop direct sales and dealer relationships.
Explore an EU Fulfilment Pilot.
A pilot does not require significant inventory or a full European operating commitment. Its objective is to establish whether selected EU stock genuinely improves delivery, cost, returns, and customer experience for orders you already receive.

Could a small EU pilot improve your current process?
Share a little about your products and how you fulfil European orders today. The first conversation is exploratory and does not commit either party to stock, fees, or a fixed pilot structure.
We invest in brands—not just stock.
A deliberately limited group of aligned partners allows direct contact and a relationship built around understanding your products, customers, and European objectives.
