Spreadsheets. Email chains. WhatsApp groups. That’s what too many brands are still running production and delivery on. It works until it doesn’t.
Jaded London scaling at TikTok speed. RIXO growing 70% in a year. Passenger selling 700,000 products annually. None of them could afford to let the Dark Stack run their operations.
That’s why Nolo built the Production & Delivery Airtable app. It’s the operational layer that gives you one connected system for purchase orders, inbound shipments, landed costs, production, and supplier payments.
From PO to Payment in One Flow
Here’s what brands actually get when they switch on the app:
-
Purchase Orders – Build from scratch or import from planning tools. Every PO becomes the heartbeat of operations.
-
Shipments – Real-time freight tracking that tells everyone what’s arriving and when.
-
Landed Costs – Freight, duties, and handling costs rolled in automatically. No surprises, just true product profitability.
-
Production Batching – MRP-style logic that keeps factories efficient and avoids wasteful changeovers.
-
Raw Material Forecasting – Consolidated wholesale and DTC commitments so you don’t overbuy or stock out.
-
Payments – Deposits, milestones, and balances tracked automatically. Finance finally has visibility of upcoming cashflow.
Built to Connect, Not Sit in a Silo
The Nolo app doesn’t replace your stack, it powers it.
-
Shopify Preorders – Turn inbound POs into products customers can buy before stock even lands.
-
Wholesale & B2B – Pull commitments into buy planning, no silos.
-
ERP & IMS – Add shipment visibility and landed cost reconciliation.
-
WMS & 3PL – Generate ASNs automatically and cut reconciliation headaches.
-
POS & Retail – Trigger replenishment and track stock movements in real time.
Why It Works
Because it doesn’t slow brands down. Jaded London capitalised on £8.5m of parachute pants sales because their ops could finally move at the speed of their TikTok moment. RIXO’s teams stopped duplicating work and started making better decisions. Passenger secured £15m funding and now has the operational foundation to expand internationally.
These are brands that need speed and flexibility. They’re using the Nolo Framework to move fast, stay agile, and keep scaling.

Cogent2 consultants specialise in building connected, scalable tech ecosystems. By implementing apps like Nolo Production & Delivery, we automate the complexity that holds brands back. That’s why Castore, Lounge and Microsooters trust us to optimise operations, cut costs, and keep growth on track.
