Direct to the customer

Your own sales platform

With the Single Brand Shop, you get your own online sales platform in Germany, featuring exclusively your products. We set up, operate and provide technical support for the shop while you focus on your market.

Access follows the closed-shop principle: only registered users approved by CDS can see your products and prices. Orders flow in real time directly into our fulfilment and logistics processes. Flexible shipping models are available, from self-collection and your own logistics provider through to insured handling by CDS Logistics.

Our approach

Strategic partner, not volume distributor

We do not see ourselves as a traditional volume distributor, but as an operational and strategic partner that brings distribution, fulfilment, sales and lifecycle services together. The difference lies in the depth: instead of pure volume handling, we offer combinable service modules tailored to your goals. From the initial market launch to remarketing at the end of the product lifecycle.
