Retail Connect is a free-to-use tool that is available to everyone with a Pietra account. This tool allows eCommerce brand owners to match with potential wholesale partners that may want to carry their products in their local shops. Pietra Retail Connect is a tool that doesn’t replace popular wholesale marketplaces, but can be used in addition to them. Retail Connect allows you to partner with the best wholesale partners for you, without any agency fees, or marketplace fees. To make things even easier for you, if you are using Pietra for storage and order fulfillment, you can seamlessly ship products to wholesale partners directly through the Pietra operations hub.

Retail Connect helps identify the perfect retail partners in any city to carry your brand’s products. We use AI to read thousands of retailers websites and identify the best matches for your brand. With multiple data sources consolidated and available at your fingertips you’ll have buyer’s email addresses, Instagram accounts and the phone numbers of these retail stores to begin outreach. Use AI to research the retailer and write you compelling outreach messages in seconds and start growing your brand's physical retail presence.

Pietra uses many data sources from around the world to bring you one of the most comprehensive lists of retail stores. This means whether you are selling apparel, health & wellness products, food & beverage products, or any product under the sun, there will be thousands of retailers for you to connect with. Pietra’s AI has been trained to analyze your business and match you with the most viable retailers so that you don’t have to do the extra work of researching every retailer in a city, before working with them. Pietra AI also proposes which products have the highest likelihood of being sold on the retailer’s shelves.

Retail Connect is free to try. Free account holders will be able to send 50 messages to retailers before being asked to upgrade their membership to a Full Access or Launch & Grow plan. In doing so, a user will not only get access to Retail Connect, but the entire Pietra platform. Pietra does not take any distributor fees or a percentage of revenue from each sale. You keep all the profit you make! 

Retail Connect uses many different data sources to provide you and your business with as many retail locations and buyer contact information as possible. You can contact retailers by email, instagram DM, or give them a call. Pietra provides innovative ways for you to get your brand in front of buyers, like allowing you to DM a retailer’s instagram account which has a significantly higher open rate, increasing your likelihood of making a connection. You will also receive phone numbers of the retailers so you can call them directly. All communication is between you and the retailer without mention of Pietra.
