We Built the Tool We Wish Existed.

Richard Stanton spent 15 years building and operating import businesses. He managed hundreds of overseas purchase orders across dozens of vendors, QC inspectors, and freight forwarders. His companies were named to the Inc 500 list seven times.

Through all of it, the supply chain was managed with email, spreadsheets, WhatsApp, and a shared Dropbox folder that nobody could navigate. Every order lived in a dozen different places. Every audit was a scramble. Every onboarding of a new team member meant explaining which spreadsheet tab mattered and which email thread to search for.

It worked. But it was fragile. And it didn’t scale.

The enterprise solutions — the Flexports, the SAP Aribas, the Oracle SCMs — were built for companies doing billions in annual trade. They cost six figures to implement, required dedicated IT teams, and took months to deploy.

The affordable tools were built for different problems entirely: inventory management, warehouse operations, domestic logistics. None of them understood the specific pain of a DTC brand managing overseas production with multiple external partners.

There was nothing in between. No tool that was purpose-built for a 10-person brand importing from Asia with 3 vendors, a QC inspector, and a freight forwarder.

Tackr is the tool Richard wished existed when he was running his own import operation. It’s purpose-built for the specific workflow of a DTC brand managing overseas orders with multiple partners.

It’s not an enterprise platform that’s been watered down. It’s not a project management tool with supply chain labels slapped on. It’s a focused, opinionated product built from the ground up for one use case — and it does that one thing exceptionally well.
