Liquids Depot Dealer Network
A working discussion page for building contractor refill locations, liquid supply, equipment sales, and future application support.
Prove the refill model before rolling out too far.
Use volume scenarios to understand investment and return.
Depot refill is a convenience/infrastructure model, not bulk delivery.
The Opportunity
Many contractors are interested in liquids but do not want to invest in their own tanks, pumps, storage, bulk purchasing, and refill infrastructure.
A depot model gives those contractors a practical place to refill locally while allowing a dealer partner to build a new category around liquid de-icing.
First Phase
- Pick the right first location
- Set up contractor-facing refill
- Supply finished liquids
- Keep logistics separate
- Measure demand and margin
Important pricing reminder
Depot refill is not the same as bulk delivery.
Depot refill pricing should not be treated the same as bulk delivery pricing for contractors who already own their own infrastructure.
Current bulk customers with their own tanks may take approximately 17,500 L at a time and handle their own storage, filling, and site infrastructure.
A depot customer is different: the depot is maintaining the tanks, keeping product available, staffing the refill process, and providing convenience to smaller contractors.
Owns tanks, takes larger drops, handles their own refill infrastructure.
Pays for convenience, local access, smaller fills, and infrastructure they do not own.
Program Pieces to Review

Replenishment
Delivery to depot tanks, minimum drops, scheduling, and emergency supply.

Enough spread to justify infrastructure, labour, sales, and local service.
Equipment Sales
Sprayers and refill-ready contractor equipment to support liquid adoption.
Application Support
LR can support application work first; approved applicator training can come later.

Questions for the Meeting
- Which Creative location is the best first depot candidate?
- What seasonal volume should we model for year one?
- What refill price range makes sense for contractors who do not own infrastructure?
- How should product supply, logistics, and depot margin be separated?
- Should the first phase include equipment sales or application support?
- Is there a raw material supply / infrastructure offset opportunity?
