Balancing Control and Scale in Global Inventory Management

Growth without control can damage a brand. Stork enables companies to expand globally while maintaining visibility, pricing integrity, and distribution control — ensuring scale never comes at the cost of brand value.

Every brand dreams of global reach.
But for many, the path to scale has meant sacrificing control — losing visibility over pricing, losing oversight of where products are sold, and sometimes, losing the essence of the brand itself.

At Stork, we believe scale and control shouldn’t compete. They should coexist.

Redefining Brand-Controlled Distribution

Stork gives brands and distributors a new kind of visibility. Through our platform, inventory flows through verified retailers only — preserving brand guidelines, pricing rules, and channel integrity.

Our Merchant-of-Record model ensures every transaction is compliant, traceable, and transparent.
It’s a system designed not just to distribute, but to protect.

For Brands

Excess inventory is no longer a liability — it’s an opportunity.
Through Stork, brands can distribute products efficiently while maintaining visibility and control over where and how they’re sold.

For Retailers

Retailers gain access to in-demand brands and products they couldn’t reach before. Stork’s data-driven matching ensures listings stay accurate, prices remain aligned, and operations stay efficient.

Control at Scale

The real challenge for the next generation of commerce is not expansion — it’s governance.
Stork’s infrastructure solves that by making control part of the system, not an afterthought.

When brands can scale globally without losing control, commerce finally becomes both profitable and sustainable.
