ACR Supply Partners integration for apparel brands
Send orders from Uphance to ACR for pick, pack, and ship. Pull inventory, receipts, and shipment confirmations back into Uphance. Wholesale, DTC, and marketplace stay on one inventory ledger while ACR handles physical fulfillment in Australia.
Channel-aware available-to-sell. Receipts posted against the originating PO. Shipment confirmations that drive ASN and EDI documents back to retailers. Reporting that rolls up ACR-fulfilled orders alongside the rest of the operation.
Trusted by modern apparel brands that can't afford disconnected operations
ACR Supply Partners is a third-party logistics provider in Australia, with a fashion and apparel focus. Their job is physical fulfillment: receiving inbound production, putting goods away, picking and packing wholesale and DTC orders, and getting cartons out the door on time. What ACR is not built for is apparel-specific operations: PLM, B2B order management, retailer EDI, multi-channel allocation. That side belongs in Uphance.
The integration keeps the two systems doing what each does well. Apparel operations and the retailer-facing document layer stay in Uphance. Physical fulfillment stays at ACR. Inventory, orders, receipts, and shipment data flow between them so neither team has to re-key, manually reconcile, or wait for end-of-month exports to know what is happening on the floor.
For AU and NZ brands running wholesale plus DTC plus marketplace, the goal is to keep ACR's stock pool integrated with the rest of the operation rather than treating it as a separate system the wholesale team or finance cannot see into.
What this integration helps you do
Run AU and NZ fulfillment through ACR without losing operational visibility
ACR handles the picking, packing, shipping, and inbound receipts physically. Uphance keeps the operational ledger correct: which orders went where, what stock is on hand at ACR, which receipts posted back to which PO, how the channel mix performed week over week.
- ✓Route wholesale, DTC, and marketplace orders to ACR automatically with the right packing instructions
- ✓Keep ACR stock in channel-aware available-to-sell across Shopify, marketplace, and B2B channels
- ✓Post production and PO receipts back to the originating order so OTB and costing stay accurate
- ✓Generate retailer ASN and EDI documents from ACR shipment confirmations
- ✓Roll ACR-fulfilled performance into one reporting layer alongside other warehouses and channels
- ✓Reduce manual reconciliation between ACR exports and the brand's inventory ledger
Key capabilities
Order routing
Wholesale, DTC, and marketplace orders captured in Uphance route to ACR with the right SKU, ship-to address, packing instructions, and required ship date for the facility handling them.
Channel-aware inventory
Stock on hand at ACR feeds Uphance available-to-sell, with separate pools for wholesale-committed and DTC inventory so wholesale ship windows are not consumed by DTC traffic.
Receipts to PO
Inbound goods received at ACR post to Uphance against the originating purchase order or production order so production-to-fulfillment timing stays trackable and OTB stays accurate.
Shipment confirmation
Pick, pack, and ship events update the order status in Uphance with carton, carrier, tracking number, and ship date so customer service, ASN generation, and reporting stay current.
ASN and EDI from Uphance
Uphance generates retailer-facing ASN 856, invoice 810, and any retailer-specific documents from ACR's shipment confirmation, so the brand owns the document layer the retailer sees.
Cross-channel reporting
ACR-fulfilled wholesale, DTC, and marketplace activity sits in the same reporting layer, so finance and operations review one set of numbers rather than three exports.
Built for AU and NZ apparel brands using ACR for fulfillment
This integration is a strong fit for apparel and accessories brands operating in Australia or New Zealand whose wholesale or DTC fulfillment runs through ACR Supply Partners and whose operations need to stay coordinated with the broader Uphance ledger.
- ✓AU and NZ apparel brands using ACR as their primary 3PL
- ✓Operations that mix wholesale plus DTC plus marketplace through one fulfillment partner
- ✓Teams that need wholesale, marketplace, and DTC inventory tracked separately but reported together
- ✓Brands wanting retailer ASN and EDI generated from Uphance, not ACR
What changes when ACR is connected properly
Before integration, ACR is its own world: separate inventory view, separate order export, separate receipt log. The wholesale team and the operations team often disagree about what stock exists, and finance reconciles three exports to close the month.
- ✓ACR inventory stops drifting from the brand's central ledger
- ✓Wholesale ship windows are protected from DTC overconsumption
- ✓Receipts post against the right PO days, not weeks
- ✓Retailer ASN and EDI traffic stays on Uphance, where it belongs
- ✓End-of-month reconciliation is faster and less manual
Where this fits
- ✓Apparel brands operating in Australia or New Zealand
- ✓Brands using ACR Supply Partners as their 3PL for wholesale, DTC, or both
- ✓Operations that want wholesale plus DTC plus marketplace flowing through one ledger while ACR handles physical fulfillment
Where it does not fit
- ×Brands not operating in Australia or New Zealand
- ×Brands running an owned warehouse (the Uphance Warehouse Mobile App is the right fit)
- ×Operations whose fulfillment partner is a different 3PL (a regional connector or generic WMS bridge will be a closer match)
A guided rollout built around your channel mix
We start with discovery to understand your channel split, ACR account setup, allocation rules, and the wholesale or marketplace systems that need to stay aligned. Implementation scope is defined once there is alignment on the path forward.
The goal is not just to connect ACR, but to connect it properly: channel-aware inventory, allocation rules that match your operating model, receipts posted against the right PO, retailer ASN and EDI generated cleanly from Uphance, and reporting that holds across DTC, wholesale, and marketplace.
