What We Do

Everything between a great product and a retail shelf

Many brands sell well online but stall at the retail door. We close the gaps that keep them out: the strategy, the retailer process and the logistics.

Retail Channel Strategy

Decide where, what and how to sell before you pitch.

Channel and retailer prioritization
Assortment: good / better / best
Pricing, margin and trade-term structure

National Retail Entry

Turn a product into a listed, replenished retail SKU.

Buyer-ready proposals and line reviews
Vendor and item setup, bilingual packaging
Promotions, MDF and sell-through follow-up

Distribution & Logistics

A local operation retailers can rely on.

Canadian warehousing and inventory
Retail-compliant fulfilment (EDI, ASN, routing)
Returns and defective handling

Why Burkemont

We know how the buyer decides

Our founder spent years as a national consumer-electronics retail buyer, then moved to the vendor side to grow major retail accounts. We build every plan the way a buyer wants to see it, and we know where launches usually get stuck.

Buyer-side perspectiveWe know what a category buyer needs to say yes and to sell it internally.
Proven launch processFrom recommendation and samples to item setup, first PO and launch marketing.
Bilingual HQ bridgeEnglish and Mandarin, turning retailer requirements into actions your HQ can execute.
Local infrastructureNo need to build a Canadian warehouse or team before your first order.
