Droppery shifts full focus to the home and living sector

Only a year and a half after its launch, Droppery has grown to include over 150 suppliers on its platform. With most of these partners active in the interior design industry, it quickly became clear that this was the perfect match — leading Droppery to go all-in on home and living.

“Interior companies have actually been doing dropshipping for years,” says Marco Mulder, CEO and founder of Droppery. “They just call it something else: backorders. It’s the same thing, but many are afraid of the term ‘dropshipping.’” Droppery aims to remove that stigma by showing how powerful and scalable dropshipping can be for the industry.

Optimizing data, logistics, and sales
The Amsterdam-based company supports wholesalers and manufacturers with product data management, inventory tracking, order processing, and dropshipping, providing the ideal setup for both suppliers and online retailers. The platform allows stores to offer a much wider assortment, even with limited physical space — a key advantage in home and living retail.

This innovative approach earned Droppery first place in the “Best Innovation in E-Commerce” category at the E-commerce Berlin Expo earlier in the year.

Rising demand and new partnerships
Among Droppery’s growing network are brands such as Bazar Bizar, Prospectt, TTP Concepts, OYOY Living Design, and more recently Richmond Interiors. “We see increasing demand because many suppliers struggle with outdated B2B systems and fragmented product data,” Marco explains. “They often think dropshipping requires major changes, but in reality, it’s simple — and we’re here to guide them step by step.”

Suppliers also gain access to new retailers through Droppery while maintaining full control over who they partner with and under what conditions.

From back-office automation to sales tool
Droppery functions not only as a logistics solution but also as a powerful sales tool. “A retailer is limited by the size of their store,” Marco says. “With Droppery, they can still offer customers any product from the connected collections, even if it’s not physically in stock.”

Returns and consumer insights
When it comes to returns, Droppery maintains a clear policy: the retailer remains responsible for customer service and returns, just like in traditional sales. To make this easier, Droppery ensures return orders are processed before new dropship orders, keeping the retailer’s workflow smooth.

Dropshipping also provides valuable consumer insights for suppliers. “They finally get to know who their end customer is — demographics, region, and spending habits — information that’s essential for long-term growth,” Marco notes.

How Droppery works
Products from the supplier’s database are uploaded to Droppery, formatted, and synced automatically. Retailers can import assortments, view real-time stock levels, and manage orders directly via API automation. When a consumer places an order, it’s shipped directly from the supplier, and stock is instantly updated across all connected retailers.

Focus on 2023
In the coming year, Droppery plans to deepen its presence in the interior sector by adding more premium brands and educating companies on how dropshipping can enhance efficiency and sales. “We want to show home and living brands how much they can achieve with this model,” Marco concludes.
