Distributors, wholesalers and manufacturers across the Denver-Aurora-Centennial, CO metro, in Denver itself or out in Lakewood, Aurora, Centennial and Broomfield, can hire Uncap to plan, build and connect a Shopify B2B store. Uncap is a Shopify Platinum Partner with its headquarters in Chicago, and its team travels on site for kickoff and key milestones. One of its clients, Kodo Kids, is based in Broomfield.

More wholesale jobs than factory jobs in Denver-Aurora-Centennial

In September 2026 the Bureau of Labor Statistics counted 74,800 wholesale trade jobs and 62,500 manufacturing jobs in the Denver-Aurora-Centennial, CO metro, both preliminary and not seasonally adjusted. Manufacturing had stood at 64,900 a year before.

The BLS Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) fills in the 2024 picture. That year wholesale trade averaged 9,120 private establishments and 78,010 employees, and its share of the metro's jobs was 1.23 times the national share. Merchant wholesalers of durable goods accounted for 5,634 of those establishments and 50,092 of the jobs, with a job share 1.42 times the national figure. QCEW lists 2,672 private manufacturing establishments for 2024 but does not publish their QCEW employment for this metro.

Air freight is part of the picture as well. Denver International Airport reports 732 million pounds of cargo volume in 2025 and nonstop service to 236 destinations.

Uncap's distributor work on Shopify covers million-SKU catalogs, product information management, tier pricing and bulk ordering.

Equipment wholesale: medical, computer and electrical goods

Equipment wholesalers show up clearly in the BLS QCEW counts of private establishments for 2024:

  • Professional and commercial equipment and supplies: 1,544 establishments, 1.95 times the national share of establishments. Inside that group, medical, dental and hospital equipment and supplies wholesalers numbered 774 (2.05 times), and computer and peripheral equipment and software wholesalers 392 (2.09 times).
  • Household appliances and electrical and electronic goods: 819 establishments, 1.92 times.
  • Industrial machinery and equipment: 610 establishments, 1.53 times.

BLS does not publish employment for these categories in this metro, so these are counts of business locations, not jobs.

Each of these trades sells differently, and Uncap has a defined Shopify approach for several of them. For medical and dental suppliers, Uncap builds medical supply ecommerce on Shopify with contract tiers that resolve from the ERP at login and lot and expiry data carried through to every order record. For electrical wholesalers, the electrical distribution build shows branch availability from the ERP and applies matrix pricing when a counter account logs in. Where equipment sells by quote, Uncap Quotes lets buyers configure, price and check out account-specific quotes on their own.

Beer, wine and spirits: breweries and the wholesalers who carry them

QCEW counted 116 private brewery establishments in the metro in 2024, 1.77 times the national share, and 262 beer, wine and distilled alcoholic beverage merchant wholesaler establishments, 2.52 times the national share. Wine and distilled spirits wholesalers made up 208 of those wholesale establishments, at 2.91 times the national share, and QCEW also lists 34 distilleries, 1.68 times. Here too, BLS publishes establishment counts without employment.

Uncap's beverage distribution page starts from how one order actually breaks down: the product, a returnable container that carries its own deposit and settles separately, and a delivery made on a route to an account whose license decides whether the order was legal.

If you brew, distill or distribute in the metro and sell to retail and on-premise accounts, Shopify B2B gives accounts payment terms and catalogs assigned through B2B markets, and on Plus a catalog can be assigned directly to a company location, so a bar and a chain store each see the prices they agreed to. Licensing questions stay with your compliance team.

Kodo Kids: a Broomfield client selling to families and institutions

Kodo Kids is Uncap's published case study from this metro. Its own site lists a Broomfield address, and Broomfield County is one of the ten counties of the Denver-Aurora-Centennial metro in the Census Bureau's July 2023 delineation.

Kodo designs play-based learning tools for early childhood education and sells them both to families and to institutions. Before the project, its inventory management system, CRM and website ran separately. Uncap built a single Shopify Plus store for both audiences and integrated it with HubSpot CRM and Unleashed ERP. Institutional buyers get catalogs and net payment terms. The store also has custom upselling and cross-selling and a product add-on feature built to raise average order value, and the existing customer and company data moved across without loss.

Any store that mixes the two audiences has a checkout rule to plan for. Shopify lists Shop Pay, Shop Cash and Shop Pay Installments as incompatible with Shopify B2B, so institutional orders run on other payment methods or on terms. The full write-up is in the Kodo Kids case study.

Picking the Shopify plan before the build

Shopify B2B comes with four plans: Basic, Grow, Advanced and Plus. The first difference Shopify lists between plans is catalogs. On Basic, Grow and Advanced, a store can hold up to 3 active catalog assignments across active B2B markets, and on Plus that cap does not apply. Count your contract price lists and B2B markets before you choose.

Two more plan details matter for wholesale. Shopify says deposit requirements are available only on the Shopify Plus plan. Shopify defines payment terms as how long a company has to pay for an order. Kodo Kids, above, gives its institutional buyers net payment terms.

With the plan settled, Uncap runs the store as one fixed-scope build, with the timeline and the budget agreed up front. That build takes in architecture, design, theme and app development, ERP and system integration, data migration with SEO redirects, and launch. If you already sell on Shopify and want B2B and consumer buyers on the same store, that kind of project takes 4 to 8 weeks.

Linking Shopify to a Denver distributor's ERP

Through Uncap, Shopify can be tied to ERP and back-office software from 13 vendors. In alphabetical order they are Acumatica, Cin7, Epicor, Fishbowl, Infor, Microsoft Dynamics, NetSuite, Odoo, Oracle, QuickBooks, Sage, SAP and Syspro, and each one has a page under Uncap's integrations. Several vendors also have product-level pages, for example Epicor Prophet 21, Infor SyteLine, Dynamics 365 Business Central, Sage 100 and SAP Business One.

Whether a project runs on Uncap Connect or as a managed integration depends on the ERP, and fit for your system and version is confirmed with the Uncap team directly. Connect is priced in the open: $8,000 for onboarding, then $390 a month.

In the Kodo Kids build above, the ERP was not the only system: HubSpot CRM was integrated into the Shopify Plus store as well. Before a first call, it helps to list every system that holds prices, stock and customer terms today, because those are the systems the store has to agree with.

How a Denver project runs with a Chicago-based team

Denver projects are run by Uncap's Chicago-based team in four steps, and the plan from the first step is yours to keep whatever you decide next.

  1. Blueprint. Uncap Blueprint costs $7,500 at a fixed price, runs four weeks and covers the architecture, the ERP integration roadmap, a replatforming risk assessment and total cost of ownership, and it is aimed at operators doing $5M+ in revenue. If Uncap then builds the store, the full fee is credited toward implementation.
  2. On-site kickoff. The team, based at Uncap's Chicago headquarters, travels to your business for kickoff and returns for key milestones.
  3. Build or migration. A new store takes about 12 weeks from discovery to launch. A move from another platform typically takes 10 to 16 weeks, and the median cutover is around 14 weeks. The migrations page explains the steps.
  4. After launch. Uncap's monthly growth work continues on conversion, order value, retention and operations, starting at $2,500 a month.

Reviews, credentials and a first conversation

On credentials, Uncap holds Shopify's Platinum Partner tier. Its public review profiles read 5.0 on Clutch from 77 reviews, 5.0 on Google from 64 and 4.6 on Trustpilot from 20. Client comments, gathered in one place, are on the testimonials page, and the Kodo Kids case study is the local example. The four ratings in the footer of this page link straight to each platform's profile, where the reviews can be read in full.

09 Common questions

Answers, before you ask.

Does Uncap have an office in Denver?

No. Uncap is headquartered at 8770 West Bryn Mawr Ave, Suite 1300, Chicago, IL 60631, and it has no Denver office. For companies in the Denver-Aurora-Centennial metro, the team travels on site for kickoff and for key milestones. Kodo Kids, an Uncap client with a Broomfield address, is an example of a Shopify Plus project in the metro.

Do you work with companies in Boulder, Aurora and the suburbs?

Yes. The Denver-Aurora-Centennial metro spans ten Colorado counties in the Census Bureau's July 2023 delineation, including Adams, Arapahoe, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas and Jefferson. Boulder is a separate metro in the same Denver-Aurora-Greeley combined statistical area. Uncap works with companies in Boulder, Aurora, Lakewood, Centennial and the rest of the area, and its team travels on site for kickoff and key milestones.

Does a Denver distributor need Shopify Plus for wholesale?

No. Shopify includes B2B on the Basic, Grow, Advanced and Plus plans. On the three plans below Plus, a store is limited to up to 3 active catalog assignments across active B2B markets; Plus has no such limit. Deposit requirements are available only on Shopify Plus. A distributor with many contract price lists should count them before picking a plan.

What does a Shopify project in Denver cost?

Uncap publishes its starting prices. Uncap Blueprint is $7,500 at a fixed price and is credited toward implementation if Uncap builds the store. The build that follows has a fixed scope, with the timeline and budget agreed before work starts. Post-launch monthly plans begin at $2,500, and Uncap Connect is $8,000 for onboarding plus $390 a month.

What is the timeline for moving our store to Shopify?

A move from another platform typically takes 10 to 16 weeks, with a median cutover around 14 weeks. A new store runs about 12 weeks from discovery to launch, and bringing B2B and B2C together on a Shopify store you already run takes 4 to 8 weeks. Uncap Blueprint, if you start there, adds a four-week planning step before the build.

Will Shopify work with the ERP we already use?

Uncap ties Shopify to ERP and back-office systems from 13 vendors, among them Acumatica, Epicor, Infor, Microsoft Dynamics, NetSuite, Oracle, Sage and SAP. Depending on the system, the connection uses Uncap Connect or a managed integration. Fit for your particular ERP and version is confirmed with the Uncap team directly, before the work is scoped.

Can one Shopify store sell to schools or businesses and to consumers?

Yes. Kodo Kids, an Uncap client in Broomfield, sells to families and to institutions from one Shopify Plus store, with catalogs and net payment terms for institutional buyers. One rule applies at checkout: Shopify lists Shop Pay, Shop Cash and Shop Pay Installments as incompatible with Shopify B2B, so business and school orders use other payment methods or terms.

Can Uncap build quoting for an equipment distributor?

Yes. Uncap Quotes turns a catalog into account-specific quotes that buyers configure, price and check out themselves, so reps stop rebuilding the same quote in a spreadsheet. The quote process runs inside the Shopify admin, and when the buyer says yes, the approved quote becomes a Shopify order in one click.
