BLS QCEW figures for 2024 put the metro's warehousing and storage establishments at 4.73 times the national share and its courier and express delivery establishments at 3.00 times, with manufacturing employment at 0.80 times. Trade accounts can be served on any of the Shopify plans that carry B2B: Basic, Grow, Advanced and Plus. Uncap Blueprint costs $7,500 and takes four weeks, and moving from another platform to Shopify usually takes 10 to 16 weeks. Uncap builds Shopify B2B commerce for manufacturers, distributors and wholesalers in the Memphis, TN-MS-AR metro, whether the warehouse sits in Tennessee, Mississippi or Arkansas. Uncap is a Shopify Platinum Partner and runs its projects out of Chicago. If you sell to other businesses from Shelby County, DeSoto County or Crittenden County, read on for what Uncap builds, the price of the first step, and how the team handles a project from a distance. ## Working with Uncap from Memphis, Southaven or West Memphis There is no Uncap office in Memphis. Uncap is based at 8770 West Bryn Mawr Ave, Suite 1300, Chicago, IL 60631, and takes on clients anywhere in the United States. For a Memphis-area client, the team works from that Chicago headquarters and travels on site for kickoff and key milestones. The build is fixed scope, and the timeline and budget are settled before any building begins. Your market is wider than one city. The Census Bureau's July 2023 metro delineation puts nine counties in the Memphis, TN-MS-AR metro: Shelby, Fayette and Tipton in Tennessee; DeSoto, Benton, Marshall, Tate and Tunica in Mississippi; and Crittenden in Arkansas. Census 2020 place files locate Southaven, Olive Branch, Horn Lake and Hernando in DeSoto County, Germantown, Collierville and Bartlett in Shelby County, and West Memphis in Crittenden County. Uncap takes on companies in any of those counties on the same terms. An Olive Branch distributor and a Collierville manufacturer pay the same published prices and get the same on-site kickoff. ## Warehouses, couriers and wholesalers in the federal counts Bureau of Labor Statistics data puts freight and wholesale establishments above their national share in the Memphis, TN-MS-AR metro. In the BLS Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW), the metro averaged 290 private warehousing and storage establishments in 2024, for an establishment location quotient of 4.73. In plain terms, warehousing's share of local establishments was 4.73 times its share nationally. The 2024 QCEW file shows other freight and trade industries above their national share as well, counted by establishments: - Couriers and express delivery services: 114 establishments, 3.00 times the national share. - Support activities for transportation: 327 establishments, 2.11 times. - Truck transportation: 736 establishments, 1.54 times. - Wholesale trade: 2,102 establishments, 1.22 times. - Merchant wholesalers of durable goods: 1,318 establishments, 1.44 times. - Machinery, equipment and supplies merchant wholesalers: 339 establishments, 1.62 times. BLS withholds employment for these industries in this file, which is why the list gives establishment counts only. Sellers of equipment and parts can see how those catalogs work on Shopify on Uncap's [machinery and equipment](/industry/machinery-equipment) page. Manufacturing sits lower: QCEW counts 1,189 private manufacturing establishments employing 40,366 people in 2024, and an employment location quotient of 0.80, which puts the sector below its national share. BLS's monthly jobs survey, the Current Employment Statistics, counts jobs on a different basis. For September 2026 (preliminary, not seasonally adjusted) it shows 93,900 jobs in transportation, warehousing and utilities, against 92,200 a year earlier. Wholesale trade had 37,300 jobs, against 36,300, and manufacturing had 38,300 against 39,000. ## The airport, the harbors and the interstates behind local shipping Two official sources describe the freight network around the metro. According to the Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority's September 2026 activity report, Frederick W. Smith International Airport handled 4,909,151,166 pounds of cargo from January through September 2026. The Port of Memphis reports that its waterborne operations handled 8.2 million short tons of cargo in 2022. The port lists three slack-water harbors (Pidgeon Industrial Harbor, McKellar Lake Harbor and Wolf River Harbor), five Class I railroads, and Interstates 40, 55 and 69 among its highway links. It also reports a rail to truck intermodal terminal at Frank Pidgeon Industrial Park, within the Port of Memphis. Freight booking and carrier relationships stay with your logistics team. Uncap's part is the store: Shopify B2B with orders, prices and stock that match your ERP and each location you ship from, so each B2B order carries the account's price and the location it ships from. ## Shopify B2B for wholesale accounts, with the plan limits stated plainly Shopify includes B2B on Basic, Grow, Advanced and Plus, so a Memphis distributor can sell to trade accounts before ever moving to Plus. The rules that shape the build: - Plans: B2B runs on Basic, Grow, Advanced and Plus. - Catalogs: each plan below Plus allows up to 3 active catalog assignments across active B2B markets, and that limit does not apply on Shopify Plus. - Payment terms: per Shopify, they "define how long a company has to pay for an order." - Checkout: Shop Pay appears on Shopify's list of payment methods that are incompatible with Shopify B2B. Shopify also states that "Deposit requirements are available only on the Shopify Plus plan." Catalogs tend to settle the plan question. Three catalog assignments can be enough when your accounts fall into a few price tiers. When many large accounts each buy from their own price list, or big orders need a deposit, Plus is the plan to scope for, since only Plus can assign catalogs directly to companies and company locations. Uncap Blueprint makes that call against your actual account list. The [Shopify B2B](/solutions/shopify-b2b) page goes deeper on the feature set. Selling direct to consumers as well? Uncap can put B2B and B2C on one Shopify store. If the store is already on Shopify, that takes 4 to 8 weeks. Accounts that prefer to look things up themselves can use [Uncap Portal](/products/portal), where trade buyers handle catalogs, pricing, reorders, invoices and users on Shopify without calling a rep. ## Order data that reaches the ERP and the warehouse The ERP remains the system of record for stock, pricing and orders, and Shopify has to match it. Thirteen ERP and back-office vendors are on Uncap's integration list: Epicor, NetSuite, SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, Infor, Oracle, Sage, Acumatica, Syspro, Cin7, QuickBooks, Odoo and Fishbowl. Each one has its own page under [integrations](/integrations). Before scoping, Uncap checks fit against your exact ERP and version. Depending on the system, the link to Shopify is built with [Uncap Connect](/products/connect) or as a managed integration. Connect's published price is $8,000 for onboarding, then a flat $390 a month. A distributor with more than one building usually has to answer these early: - Price ownership: which system holds each account's prices, and which one wins when they differ. - Stock by location: how inventory is counted for each ship-from location, and how often Shopify sees a change. - Order hand-off: where a B2B order lands after checkout, and who handles it before it ships. Blueprint includes the ERP integration roadmap, so these questions are worked through before the build starts. ## How a Memphis project is planned, priced and launched Uncap's build work is fixed scope, and you agree the timeline and budget before it starts. A Memphis-area project runs in this order: - First conversation. Bring your catalog, your trade accounts and your ERP details. Uncap tells you whether you are looking at a new build, a migration or work on a store you already run. - Uncap Blueprint. A four-week, fixed-price plan that costs $7,500. You get the architecture, a roadmap for the ERP integration and an assessment of replatforming risk, and the fee is credited 1:1 toward implementation. - On-site kickoff. Uncap's team travels from its Chicago headquarters to your site for kickoff. - Build or migration. Building a new store takes about 12 weeks, discovery to launch. Moving from another platform usually takes 10 to 16 weeks (see migrations), and Uncap's median cutover sits around 14 weeks. - Milestones and launch. The team comes back on site for key milestones, then the store goes live. - After launch. Uncap's monthly growth work keeps going on revenue, conversion, retention and operations every month, with plans from $2,500 a month. The [build service](/commerce) covers three starting points: moving from another platform, launching a new storefront or B2B ordering portal, and putting B2B and B2C on one store. ## Uncap work for distributors and wholesalers elsewhere No published Uncap client is in the Memphis metro, so the proof on this page comes from distribution and wholesale work in other places. - ULE Group: this distributor of electrical, power and lighting supplies runs a catalog of more than 250,000 SKUs on a Shopify B2B storefront that Uncap built. Its Epicor ERP integration keeps product and inventory data live from browsing to checkout, and business buyers get account-based payment terms. - Microfiber Wholesale: a family-owned cleaning and janitorial supplies business, 75 years old, that left a legacy platform for Shopify Plus. Uncap imported its website data, customer information and content in full, and met every project objective inside the timeframe the client asked for. Uncap is a Shopify Platinum Partner. On Clutch it is rated 5.0 across 77 reviews; Google shows 5.0 across 64 and Trustpilot 4.6 across 20.

From there Uncap can tell you whether a standard Shopify plan or Plus fits, whether the job is a new build or a migration, and whether Blueprint should come first. If you already sell online on another platform, say so on that call: a migration typically runs 10 to 16 weeks. Bring whoever runs orders and whoever owns the ERP to that call, because their answers shape the scope. The state line makes no difference to how a project starts. A wholesaler in Southaven, a distributor in Shelby County and a manufacturer in Tipton County each begin with the same published prices, and the team travels on site for kickoff and key milestones wherever the building is.

Uncap has no Memphis office; its headquarters is at 8770 West Bryn Mawr Ave, Suite 1300, in Chicago, and the team travels from there to your site at those points in the project. The build itself is fixed scope, with the timeline and budget agreed up front. ### Does Uncap work with companies in DeSoto County or West Memphis? Yes. The Census Bureau's Memphis, TN-MS-AR metro takes in Shelby, Fayette and Tipton counties in Tennessee, five Mississippi counties (DeSoto, Benton, Marshall, Tate and Tunica) and Crittenden County in Arkansas. Southaven, Olive Branch, Horn Lake and Hernando are in DeSoto County, and West Memphis is in Crittenden County. Uncap works with companies in every one of them on the same terms. ### Is Shopify Plus required for a Memphis distributor to sell B2B? No. Shopify B2B works on the Basic, Grow, Advanced and Plus plans. Catalogs are the main difference: the three plans below Plus allow up to 3 active catalog assignments across active B2B markets, while Plus has no such limit. Plus is also the only plan with deposit requirements. Uncap Blueprint decides which plan fits your account list. ### What is the first paid step with Uncap, and what does it cost? Uncap Blueprint comes first: $7,500 at a fixed price, four weeks long. You come away with the architecture, a plan for the ERP integration and a read on replatforming risk. Go on to build with Uncap and the full fee is credited 1:1 toward the implementation price. Uncap Connect, if your ERP needs it, is $8,000 for onboarding plus a flat $390 a month. Growth plans after launch start at $2,500 a month. ### How many weeks should we plan for a migration or a new build? Moving off another platform onto Shopify typically runs 10 to 16 weeks, with Uncap's median cutover at about 14 weeks. A new build needs about 12 weeks between discovery and launch. Putting B2B and B2C together on a store you already run on Shopify is quicker: 4 to 8 weeks. Uncap Blueprint, which comes before any of these, takes four weeks. ### Can Shopify work from the stock and prices in our ERP? That is what the integration is for. Uncap's ERP work spans 13 vendors, including NetSuite, SAP, Epicor, Acumatica, Sage, Infor and Microsoft Dynamics. Uncap Connect covers some systems and a managed integration covers others; either way, Uncap confirms fit for your ERP and version first. Blueprint's ERP integration roadmap is where those choices get made. ### Which payment options change when a buyer checks out as a B2B account? Three things change. First, payment terms: Shopify says they "define how long a company has to pay for an order." Second, Shop Pay will not be offered, because Shopify names it among the payment methods incompatible with Shopify B2B. Third, only the Plus plan supports deposit requirements, which matters if large orders need money up front. ### Do we need a separate site for wholesale buyers? No. Uncap can run B2B and B2C on one Shopify store, with trade accounts and consumers buying from the same storefront under different rules. If you are already on Shopify, that work takes 4 to 8 weeks. Trade buyers who want to handle their own reorders and invoices can also use Uncap Portal, a self-serve home for trade accounts on Shopify. ### Has Uncap built stores for distributors like us? Yes, though none is in the Memphis metro. ULE Group, which distributes electrical, power and lighting supplies, sells more than 250,000 SKUs through a Shopify B2B storefront Uncap built, connected to its Epicor ERP. Microfiber Wholesale moved from a legacy platform to Shopify Plus with Uncap. On Clutch, Uncap is rated 5.0 across 77 reviews, and more reviews are on the testimonials page.
