How to order from Core-Mark in one app with your other suppliers

Core-Mark is a broadline staple for convenience and small-format retail, and plenty of independents run their center-store order through them. As with any single distributor, the question that actually moves your margin isn’t how to order from Core-Mark — it’s how Core-Mark compares to everyone else you buy from.

Why the comparison is the point

Core-Mark’s own ordering channels do their job, but they’re a closed view: Core-Mark’s price, Core-Mark’s catalog, Core-Mark’s deals. A typical store also runs several DSD routes and maybe a second broadliner, and the overlapping SKUs — drinks, snacks, candy — are exactly where "whoever’s easiest to order from" quietly costs you.

Keep what works, fix the blind spot

None of this is a reason to leave Core-Mark. The relationship, the terms, any rebate you’ve earned — keep all of it. The only thing worth changing is the blind spot: not being able to see, at order time, whether Core-Mark or another supplier wins each line on a true per-unit, after-deals basis.

One cart, every supplier, your terms intact

Putting Core-Mark into StoreQueue alongside your other distributors gives you one catalog and one cart that splits into the right order per supplier, with live per-unit price comparison across all of them. No per-order markup, no touching your wholesale prices — just the ability to prove, order by order, that each line is going to the right supplier. Keep Core-Mark; stop guessing.
