Kitted in Kleve, delivered to central warehouse: brewery campaigns, no detour

A wheat-beer brewery managed its campaign logistics through an agency for a long time. Today the brewery works directly with PROWERB: product giveaways are kitted and assembled in Kleve and go with no intermediate stop to retail and to the central warehouses of grocery retail — over campaign periods that mostly run several weeks.

Starting point

Grocery retail's campaign calendar doesn't wait for intermediate steps.

For years, the collaboration ran through an agency — an extra link stood between the brewery and logistics. But retail campaigns demand rhythm: product giveaways have to be at the store and at the central warehouse by the campaign start, campaign periods run over several weeks, and short-notice special promotions range from a small add-on to a complete truckload.

Solution

Direct line, direct delivery: from the SFTP order to the grocery retailer's central warehouse.

Today the brewery works with no agency in between. Order data arrives as files via SFTP, kitting and assembly of the product giveaways runs on the campaign line in Kleve — designed for 1 to 15,000 kitted units per day, from the smallest run to a large campaign. Delivery goes directly to retail and to the central warehouses of grocery retail. PROWERB also supports product launches — the giveaway for a new launch runs through the same established route.

Process

File in, campaign out: four steps that repeat.

The process is built for repetition. Every campaign wave uses the same route — from data exchange to the central warehouse ramp.

  1. 01

    Order handover

    The brewery transfers the order files via SFTP. A standardized exchange that works the same way campaign after campaign — with no new coordination loops.

  2. 02

    Kitting & assembly

    Product giveaways are kitted and assembled on the campaign line. Short-notice special promotions are built into the plan: the line has a changeover time of under three hours.

  3. 03

    Direct delivery

    PROWERB delivers directly to retail and to the central warehouses of grocery retail — from a small add-on up to FTL size, a complete truckload.

  4. 04

    Campaign support

    Campaign periods mostly run over several weeks. Delivery continues throughout the entire period — even when a special promotion is added in between.

Result

One fewer link in the chain — and a process that carries every campaign wave.

The direct collaboration has shortened the path: orders arrive as a file, not as a round of coordination. The brewery runs retail campaigns over weeks, slots in short-notice special promotions, and spans everything from the small add-on to the full load — on a process that repeats instead of being renegotiated every time.

One fewer link in the chain — and a process that carries every campaign wave.
Context

Between brand and shelf, you don't need a translator. You need a line that delivers.

This case shows the pattern behind PROWERB: promotional-products agencies have no logistics of their own, classic logistics providers don't know campaigns. PROWERB runs kitting & assembly, warehousing and transport control under one roof — directly reachable, with no agency in between.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about campaign logistics into grocery retail.

How quickly can a short-notice special promotion start?

Short-notice special promotions are built into the process: the campaign line in Kleve has a changeover time of under three hours. Delivery continues even when a special promotion falls right in the middle of a running campaign period.

What volumes does the campaign line cover?

The line is designed for 1 to 15,000 kitted units per day — from the smallest run to a large campaign. On delivery, the range spans from a small add-on to FTL, a complete truckload.

Does PROWERB deliver directly to the central warehouses of grocery retail?

Yes. Delivery goes with no intermediate stop directly to retail and to the central warehouses of grocery retail — at the campaign start and over the entire campaign period, which mostly runs several weeks.

How do we hand over the order data?

In this case, order data arrives as files via SFTP — a standardized exchange that works the same way campaign after campaign, with no new coordination loops. Every campaign wave uses the same route, from data exchange to the central warehouse ramp.

Do we still need an agency between the brand and logistics?

No. The brewery now works directly with PROWERB — kitting & assembly, warehousing and transport control sit under one roof, with a dedicated contact instead of a call center. Orders arrive as a file, not as a round of coordination.

Does PROWERB also support product launches?

Yes. The giveaway for a new launch runs through the same established route as any other campaign wave. PROWERB has worked out of Kleve since 1979 — a concrete briefing is followed by a concrete process, not a brochure.
