Retailer names identify where these brands are ranged. Built for Retail does not represent, and is not endorsed by, any retailer. Past rangings do not promise yours: the buyer decides.

Before you get in touch

The questions founders ask first.

What exactly does Built for Retail do?

We take consumer brands from ecommerce into Australian retail and run the operation that keeps them there. One contract covers both halves: the agency half, where we build your commercial case, run buyer engagement and manage submissions and onboarding, and the operations half, where purchase orders are picked, packed and despatched from our HACCP-certified Melbourne warehouse. Built for Retail is a trading name of Bettapak, the warehouse operation running since 2006.

Can you guarantee that a retailer will range my brand?

No, and you should be wary of anyone who says otherwise. Ranging decisions sit with each retailer's buyer. What we control is preparation: the commercial model, the buyer case, the compliance and the supply plan you walk in with. Sometimes the honest output of a Retail Sprint is that your numbers are not ready yet, and we will tell you that before you spend on stock or trade spend.

Do you act as an agent or buy our stock?

We represent you as an agent. We never buy or own your product, we do not resell it, and the retailer relationship is built in your brand's name. You keep ownership of your stock at all times, including stock held in our warehouse, and your selling price stays your decision. Our representation fee is a flat monthly retainer, so our incentive is your sell-through, not a margin hidden in your cost price.

Can you support an international brand entering Australia?

Yes. International brands entering Australian retail are our second lane. The retail half is ours on one contract: readiness, the buyer case, FSANZ labelling localisation, barcodes, EDI and fulfilment from our Melbourne warehouse. The import half, importer of record, customs, GST and quarantine, stays with your customs broker and advisers, and we coordinate with them. The full picture is at /enter-australia.
