The working relationship
What working with Tallon means
Proposed working standards for brand partners.
Channel discipline
Respect for territory and channel controls
Territory, channel and marketplace rules are agreed in writing before supply begins.
Data
Honest product data standards
Lines are listed only once identity, pack data and VAT are confirmed.
Reporting
Reporting as evidence matures
We share reporting as the data grows enough to support it.
Coming soon: reporting will publish once live order data is available
Product data standards
What we need before a line is published
Buyers only see lines with complete, verified records, so your product is represented accurately.
Where a fact is unknown we record it as unknown. We never guess a country of origin, an allergen status or a claim on your behalf.
Line publication checklist
per SKU, before listing
- GTIN (EAN or UPC)

- Listing decision
- complete record or not listed
UNKNOWN is an acceptable answer for country of origin. We never guess facts to complete a listing.
Boundaries
What we will not do
A few boundaries we hold with every brand we distribute.
- We sell only into channels you have agreed. Clearance happens with your agreement, when it happens at all.
- Marketplace sales and channel restrictions are agreed in writing.
- We keep partners' commercial terms private. One partner never learns another's business through us, and customers never see who supplies what.
