Funding and operations for the drinks trade
Fero helps producers, brand owners, wholesalers and retailers release working capital tied up in drinks inventory. It combines stock-backed funding with trading, storage and logistics services on one platform.
Customers can manage sales, purchasing and invoicing alongside inventory and shipments. Its supply-chain service supports in-market storage and international distribution, helping drinks businesses expand without building the entire operating network themselves.
