What We Do

We represent your brand. We run the line review. We own the relationship.

Auto SKUS acts as your sales arm inside the major automotive retail chains — with existing buyer relationships, category expertise, and the operational infrastructure to take a program from pitch to first PO.

Line Review Management

We run the line review from 90 days out to first PO — GMROI modeling, category story, deck, buyer meeting, and concession negotiation.

02

Retail Channel Access

Direct buyer relationships at Walmart, AutoZone, O'Reilly, Advance Auto Parts, and Costco — built over 200+ line reviews across every major automotive category.

03

Compliance & Operations

ACES/PIES data management, EDI setup and testing, vendor onboarding, and DC-readiness — handled so your program doesn't stall at the operational stage.
