VOVAN compared with classic wholesale
VOVAN is not a full-range wholesaler and does not aim to be one. We complement your existing supplier where a standard range reaches its limits: trend range, own brands, private label and launch support.
Two roles that complement each other
On the left the typical role of a full-range wholesaler, on the right what VOVAN actually offers. We do not rate individual companies.
The left column describes a typical role, not the services of specific companies. Please ask other suppliers directly for their terms.
When is a second supplier worthwhile?
Four situations in which a specialist alongside your full-range wholesaler can make sense.
Trends should reach the shelf
Viral products are often in demand for only a few weeks. We follow trends continuously and add suitable items early – availability per item is stated in the quote.
You want to stand out
Own brands and exclusive listings by arrangement create parts of the range that not every store carries.
You plan your own brand
With private label we develop your retail brand from concept to logistics, usually within 12–16 weeks.
The test should stay small
Trial order: from 1 carton per item (mixed carton by arrangement). Initial listing across a store network or central warehouse: from 1 pallet (mixed pallet possible). Exact quantities per item are stated in the quote.
What this means in practice
Your main supplier stays
Core range, volume and high-turnover items continue via your existing wholesaler. VOVAN does not touch that structure.
A trend area is added
For example a shelf section, the checkout zone or a promotional area with trend and own-brand items.
The effort stays manageable
One additional contact, delivery from our warehouse in Bergisch Gladbach usually within 2–5 business days, German labelling, 30-day payment term.
Does VOVAN replace my current wholesaler?
Usually not. VOVAN specialises in trend range, own brands and private label and complements your existing supplier.
What does VOVAN offer that a full-range wholesaler usually does not?
A curated trend range, 8 own brands, private label from concept to logistics, plus samples, product passports and POS material for the launch.
What minimum quantities apply at VOVAN?
Trial order: from 1 carton per item (mixed carton by arrangement). Initial listing across a store network or central warehouse: from 1 pallet (mixed pallet possible). Exact quantities per item are stated in the quote.
How fast does VOVAN deliver?
From our warehouse in Bergisch Gladbach, usually within 2–5 business days in Germany and 3–7 business days to Austria and Switzerland.
Do you compare specific competitors?
No. We only describe our own services. Please ask other suppliers directly for their terms.
Want to test a trend range?
Samples or sample kits on request, trial order from 1 carton per item.
