What Solutions 2 GO does

Solutions 2 GO is a Brampton, Ontario-headquartered full-service distributor of video game console hardware, software, accessories, and adjacent consumer electronics, founded in 2004 by Gabrielle Chevalier and Oliver Bock (both serving as Co-CEOs). The privately-held company operates across 19 countries in North, Central, and South America through owned sales offices in Canada, the United States, Mexico, Panama, Colombia, Peru, Chile, Argentina, and Brazil, supported by distribution centers in Brampton (215,000 sq ft), Louisville, Kentucky (250,000 sq ft), and Tolleson, Arizona, plus a Brazil-based disc manufacturing plant acquired from Sony DADC. It serves video game publishers, manufacturers, and retailers, with the exclusive right to distribute Sony PlayStation products across Latin America and Mexico, and holds digital distribution rights from Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo alongside third-party publishers such as Studio Wildcard (ARK: Survival Evolved).

The company runs a modular service architecture grouped under the S2G brand family — S2G Distribution, Retail Account Management, Digital Distribution (code-to-content), Trade Marketing and Creative Services, Retail Promotion (a 500+ field-promoter network across LATAM), Logistics (pick/pack/ship fulfillment), and Disk Replication and Manufacturing — reaching 50,000+ retail locations worldwide. Supporting technology includes a Fraud Check anomaly-detection system using proprietary pattern-recognition algorithms, a Promoters mobile application for field merchandising and sales reporting, and an Automation platform that processes more than 100,000 orders daily from its Louisville facility. Revenue is generated through transaction fees on physical and digital distribution, hardware sales from in-house disc manufacturing (the only PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 media manufacturer in Brazil), managed fulfillment services, and professional services for trade marketing.

The company has pursued an active acquisition-led growth strategy, having acquired Sony DADC Brazil (2016), Ecogames Brazil (2018), and majority stakes in AXS By Axessorize (2019), and extended into adjacent product categories with a February 2026 exclusive North American distribution agreement with Wonderland Amusements for home game room products. Sub-distributor partnerships extend its publisher relationships into Europe, Africa, Australia, and Asia. Solutions 2 GO has been recognized on Deloitte Canada's Top 50 Best Managed Companies list for 10 consecutive years (2009-2017) and on the Financial Post Top 500 in 2008-2011.
