From onboarding to
weekly payments

Six connected workflows that power the entire platform — consignment, wholesale, and credit memos, all running on one engine. Fully automated, fully auditable.

01
Account Setup

Onboarding

New retailers and vendors create accounts, verify their business details, and get instant access to their dedicated portal. ShelfSpace handles the compliance groundwork so you can focus on operations.

Self-service signup: Business verification, portal access, and initial configuration — all in minutes, not weeks.
02
Connecting the Supply Chain

Partnership Formation

Retailers and vendors formalize their consignment relationship through ShelfSpace. The platform generates a standardized Master Agreement that automates payment terms, profit splits, shrinkage policies, and discount budgets.

Standardized contracts: Every partnership starts from the same legally vetted framework — eliminating back-and-forth negotiation on boilerplate terms.
03
Automated Reconciliation

Weekly Settlements

Every week, the ShelfSpace Engine ingests POS sales data, reconciles on-hand inventory, applies the contracted profit split, and generates a five-page settlement report for each active partnership.

Five-page report: Vendor payout table, returns detail, discount audit with budget vs. actual reconciliation, remaining inventory with JIT velocity metrics, and a depositable check.
04
Consistent Cash Flow

Payment

ShelfSpace generates a Check 21-compliant check for each vendor based on confirmed weekly sales. Vendors download and deposit instantly via mobile banking — no more waiting on "Net 30" terms that turn into "Net Never."

Check 21 Compliant: Every check is a valid "Substitute Check" under Federal Law. UCC Article 3 Compliant. Print-at-Home Legal. Mobile Deposit Ready.
05
Flexible Operations

Ad-Hoc Payments

Beyond weekly settlements, ShelfSpace supports ad-hoc payments for returns, adjustments, and special circumstances — including AP payments to any vendor, consignment or wholesale. Every non-standard transaction is fully documented and tied to the partnership audit trail.

Full traceability: Every ad-hoc payment links back to a specific partnership, invoice, and reason code — nothing falls through the cracks.
06
Financial Resolution

Credit Memo Management

Issue, track, and resolve credit memos between retailers and vendors. Whether it's a return, pricing correction, promotional adjustment, or special circumstance — ShelfSpace provides a structured workflow with full transparency for both parties.

Complete lifecycle: From issuance through review, approval, and settlement — every credit memo action is tracked and auditable.
