Wholesale Operating System for Apparel, Footwear & Accessories
Montreal, Canada • Founded by Obinna Chukwu
Chukwu is the workflow diagnostic and operating system for apparel, footwear, and accessories wholesalers, distributors, and multi-line showrooms doing $500K–10M. We map your order-to-fulfillment flow, name where it's bleeding, and plug in the Chukwu modules that replace the spreadsheets, paper, and re-entry — starting with the module costing you the most.
Every wholesale order from every channel — email PDFs, JOOR / NuORDER / Brandboom, EDI 850 from major retailers, sales rep iPad entry at buyer appointments, WhatsApp screenshots, walk-in showroom — lands in one structured queue. Dedupe-checked. Per-account pricing applied. Almost always our first deployment.
Wholesale-specific ERP for apparel, footwear, and accessories. Real-time inventory tied to picking writebacks. Per-buyer negotiated pricing, account terms, AR aging against ship date. Built for styles, colors, size runs, packs — not generic SKUs. Two-way QuickBooks sync.
Wholesale buyer-facing portal. Boutique buyers and major retailers each log in with their pricing, live stock, one-click reorder. EDI 850 / 810 / 856 to Walmart, Hudson's Bay, Winners, Amazon, Target — built in. No $1.5K–2K/month managed-EDI SaaS, no $60K/yr EDI analyst.
Workers point a phone camera at the style number on the product tag — OCR reads it, the system validates against the order line, and decrements inventory live. No barcodes. No scanners. No paper. Built originally for a Rue Chabanel fashion warehouse and still running daily.
Auto-allocation across retailers + boutiques. Pack-station audit screens that catch wrong size or quantity before the box closes. Multi-carrier labels (UPS, FedEx, Purolator, Canada Post, freight). Direct 3PL bridge. EDI 856 ASN generation.
Live wholesale dashboards on every module. Where each order is stalled, margin per account after EDI chargebacks, cancel-by countdowns, sell-through per style per retailer. Slack / email / SMS alerts when an order sits past threshold.
Take the 9-question wholesale workflow diagnostic. The Chukwu rep maps your order-to-fulfillment flow, names the bottlenecks, and recommends the module that unblocks the most pain first.
CHUKWU is founded by Obinna Chukwu, based in Montreal. The Chukwu Pick OCR system was built originally in a Rue Chabanel fashion warehouse and is still running daily. The operating system was designed for a wholesale operation, not imagined in a meeting room.
