mPorts Commerce Network

The mPorts Commerce Network links overseas brands with the U.S. marketplaces, retailers, dealers and partners they need to sell here.Cloudway Fulfillment runs the warehouse and fulfillment in Hayward, CA; mPorts is the software that connects orders and inventory across channels; and independent partners provide services like freight, listings or professional help through introductions. Every introduction depends on product fit and partner approval.

Who is in the network

  • Brands

    Product companies, many based overseas, that want to sell in the U.S. and need a place to store, ship and manage orders.

  • Retailers and dealers

    Stores and dealer networks that buy products wholesale or list them through a retail program.

  • Marketplaces

    Online sites where brands list products and the marketplace sends the orders, such as Amazon, Walmart or Wayfair.

  • Technology partners

    Software that sits around mPorts — storefronts, accounting, product data — so information does not have to be retyped.

  • Logistics partners

    Freight, parcel and import-side providers that move goods into and out of the warehouse.

  • Channel and service partners

    Specialists a brand may need along the way, such as listing help or professional services, offered as partner introductions.

Who does what

  • Cloudway (direct service)

    Receives, stores and ships your products from 40,000 sq ft in Hayward, CA, including parcel and LTL/pallet orders.

  • mPorts (technology)

    Software that keeps orders, inventory and shipment updates in step across the channels you sell on.

  • Network partners (partner-delivered)

    Retailers, marketplaces, logistics and service providers who decide independently whether to work with a brand. Cloudway makes the introduction; the partner delivers its own service.

Two ways in

For brands

You make products and want to sell them in the U.S. Cloudway runs fulfillment from Hayward, CA, mPorts keeps orders and inventory in sync across your channels, and the network can introduce you to retail, marketplace and service partners when your products qualify.

Start as a brand

For partners

You are a retailer, dealer, marketplace, technology, logistics or service provider that works with brands entering the U.S. Tell us what you offer and which brands you are looking for; we review each partner before making introductions.

What decides an introduction

Being in the network does not guarantee a listing, a retail program or a partner. Each introduction is checked against these points first:

  • Product fit

    The product can be stored and shipped safely from our warehouse and suits the channel.

  • Category

    Some categories are restricted or need extra approval on certain channels.

  • Compliance

    Labeling, safety and import requirements for the product are met before it ships.

  • Program availability

    A retail or marketplace program has to be open to new sellers in that category.

  • Partner approval

    Retailers, marketplaces and service partners make their own decisions about who they work with.

Supported channels

Where brands sell, and how Cloudway helps them operate there

Cloudway helps brands operate across U.S. marketplaces, retailers and their own online stores. Below are channels brands sell on and the workflows Cloudway and mPorts support for each. Channel names are trademarks of their owners and are shown for reference only; no partnership or endorsement is implied.

Supported commerce channels

Program access depends on each channel’s approval and on product fit, category and compliance.

Connected operations

  • mPorts

    The technology layer behind Cloudway. mPorts connects orders, inventory and shipment updates across the channels a brand sells on, so the warehouse team works from one queue.

    About the mPorts Commerce Network
  • Channel integrations

    Order and inventory data moves between sales channels and the warehouse through integrations instead of manual spreadsheets. Which connection fits depends on the channel and program.

  • Partner services

    Some services come from partners in the mPorts Commerce Network rather than from Cloudway directly. We say which is which before work starts.

    How partner services work

Fulfillment modes

  • Parcel

  • B2B and retail orders

    Case and pallet orders for retailers, dealers and business buyers, prepared to each program’s requirements.
