ProcessesServicesReferences
01 · Requirements

An order needs to remain traceable across every system.

A shop can accept an order before physical stock has been reconciled. A return can arrive while its refund remains unresolved. We therefore define the handovers between shop, ERP, warehouse and shipping: which system owns each data set, when status updates are returned and who decides how to handle an exception. The four work areas below cover that process.

01Goods receipt & delivery discrepanciesBooking in deliveries, resolving shortages, reconciling inventory — before the shop promises availability that doesn't exist.
02Order-to-cash →Individual order, change, cancellation, date change, credit note: every order runs as a defined process through to the document.
03Dispatch & shipment trackingNotification, tracking, courier and carrier commissioning — including the cases where a shipment shows as delivered but is still missing.
04Exception handling & returns →Transport damage, additional costs, non-receipt, recovery: exception cases are worked through documented processes instead of aging in the inbox.

Atlas & Nexus · PROWERB systems

Planning stays connected to fulfilment.

Atlas gives clients access to products, stock, campaigns and orders. Nexus supports operational processing. We agree the views and handovers needed for your project.

02 · Services for mail-order companies

From goods receipt to marketplace — operated, not just advised on.

Four service areas carry mail order at PROWERB. All run on the same proprietary system: PROWERB CORE as ERP and warehouse management, inventory in real time, booked without gaps.

01Fulfillment in permanent operation →Warehousing, picking, packaging, dispatch: 25,000 square meters of newly built warehouse in Kleve, more than 55,000 group-wide pallet spaces, dedicated warehouse areas for high runners, slow movers, bulky goods and glass.
02Inbound & inventory management →Goods receipt, inventory booking, booking reconciliation, stocktaking, relocation — RFID-capable and managed in real time in our own system.
03Dispatch, tracking & exception handlingShipment tracking and notification in permanent operation, courier and carrier commissioning, returns and transport exception handling as managed processes with a defined close.
04Shop operations & marketplaceBuilding and operating digital sales channels is its own service area, not an add-on purchase: customer online shops on our own platform, Amazon processing and D2C dispatch directly from the warehouse.
03 · Proven in operations

Three examples of ongoing order and shipping operations.

junited AUTOGLAS, Arizona and flaschenpost use different parts of the service. Each operation relies on agreed processes for orders, inventory, shipping and enquiries. The examples describe the scope we manage; specific requirements and exceptions are handled within each operation. These peak figures refer to baseline output: 200% is double, 400% is fourfold (+300%). Achievable volume and lead time are agreed for the item mix, goods and data availability, staffing and shift plan.

junited AUTOGLAS
The promotional-products shop of the nationwide workshop network runs as an end-to-end process: order, invoice, delivery — behind it, goods receipt, inventory management, shipment tracking and returns processing via courier and carrier.
Arizona
Logistics handling for Germany and Benelux with direct connection to freight-carrier hubs, goods dispatch for Amazon and D2C — connected directly to the existing shop, including peaks around new product highlights.
flaschenpost
For the quick-commerce provider, PROWERB served as a central warehouse for many years; from 2026, again fully active in the promotion area — kitting & assembly, box design, distribution via the central warehouse and direct delivery to hubs.
04 · Physical + Digital

Operate the shop and fulfillment together.

When PROWERB manages both services, changes to the range and ordering process are coordinated with warehouse operations. You can also retain your existing agency or development team: we then agree data exchanges, status updates and responsibilities between the teams.

05 · Questions from procurement

What mail-order companies want to know before switching.

How is our shop or ERP system connected?

Via the path that fits the setup: direct connection to the existing shop, exchange of order files via SFTP, or an interface to ERP and warehouse management. All three variants run in customer operations today.

How long does onboarding take?

For larger fulfillment takeovers, we use the seven-phase method: from requirements and master data through system integration, testing and stock transfer to go-live and handover to ongoing operations. Around 14 weeks is a planning guide for that scope; data quality, interfaces and stock transfer determine the actual date. Smaller or purely digital assignments receive a suitable introduction plan.

What happens with load peaks?

The stated peak figures are 200 percent of baseline capacity within 24 hours and 400 percent within 72 hours: double and quadruple capacity (+300%). We agree the capacity available for your operation based on item mix, available stock, complete data, staffing and shift planning.

Does PROWERB also handle returns and exception cases?

Yes, as its own process and not a side task: recovery via courier or carrier, transport exception handling, non-receipt resolution, credit notes. For a mail-order customer, this exact chain has run in permanent operation since 2021.

Does PROWERB only work with large corporations?

No. The range spans from mid-sized companies to international brands. What matters is not size, but whether recurring processes stand behind it — PROWERB is a custom fulfiller, not a mass fulfiller.
