Order and warehouse logistics since 2007

Since 2007, PROWERB has run order and warehouse logistics for an international manufacturer of heating and climate technology: stocking items, processing call-offs, tracking shipments, resolving exceptions. Almost two decades, several thousand transactions — and barely one of them a campaign. This case shows the least visible discipline in our business: ongoing operations.

Facts

The account in four lines.

What defines this mandate isn't in a campaign chronicle. It's in the master record.

01CustomerInternational manufacturer of heating and climate technology.
02PartnershipSince 2007, almost two decades in ongoing operations.
03Service profileOrder-to-cash, goods receipt and inventory management, dispatch with shipment tracking and notification, courier and freight forwarder commissioning, exception handling.
04Operating modeOngoing operations. The standardized order call-off from the warehouse is the dominant transaction on this account.
01 — Starting point

No launch, no peak, no sweepstake. Just resupply that must never run out.

A manufacturer with international sales needs permanently available items from stock: ordered in series, delivered without queries. At this manufacturer, this runs via a standardized order call-off — as an email with a structured attachment, without any portal requirement.

The underlying requirement is unspectacular and demanding at once: every call-off must be treated the same. Inventory, posting and shipment status must be correct, even at the thousandth transaction. Promotional products logistics is often measured by its campaigns. Its foundation is this.

No launch, no peak, no sweepstake. Just resupply that must never run out.
02 — Solution

Call-off, inventory, dispatch and exception handling sit with one party.

PROWERB holds the items in its own warehouse and posts inventory in real time in its own ERP and warehouse system. The order call-off is captured, checked against inventory, picked and dispatched; shipment tracking and notification run out of the same transaction.

If a delivery needs a courier or a freight forwarder, we commission them directly. And if something deviates — a shortfall, a quantity discrepancy, a posting correction — the team that knows the transaction resolves it. No handovers between service providers, no cascade of interfaces.

Call-off, inventory, dispatch and exception handling sit with one party.
03 — Process

The path of a standard order call-off.

Five steps that have repeated since 2007 — and work precisely because of it.

  1. 01

    Goods receipt

    Resupply is delivered, checked and booked in. From this moment, inventory is visible and queryable in the system.

  2. 02

    Call-off

    The order call-off arrives standardized as an email attachment, is captured and checked against available inventory.

  3. 03

    Picking

    The line item is picked from stock, packed and marked ready for dispatch. Permanently listed items typically leave the warehouse the same day.

  4. 04

    Dispatch & notification

    The shipment goes into delivery, with shipment tracking and notification running alongside. Where needed, we commission a courier or freight forwarder directly.

  5. 05

    Exception handling

    If something deviates — shortfall, quantity discrepancy, inventory correction — the case is resolved within the same transaction. Posting and reality stay in sync.

04 — Result

Almost two decades of operations, several thousand transactions — and an account almost without campaign share.

Since 2007, the partnership has run in the same mode: the standard order call-off dominates the account, campaigns play almost no role. This manufacturer is thus the counter-model to campaign-driven customers like Bitburger, whose business consists almost entirely of promotions — and the proof that both need the same organization: a warehouse that can handle peaks must first master the series.

At PROWERB, ongoing operations are not a by-product of campaign logistics. They are the axis we measure ourselves against: every call-off treated the same, every inventory position verifiable, every discrepancy resolved.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about order and warehouse logistics.

Do our orderers have to use a portal?

No. At this manufacturer, the order call-off runs standardized by email with a structured attachment — without any portal requirement. What matters is not the channel, but that every call-off is treated the same.

How fast is an order call-off shipped?

Permanently listed items typically leave the warehouse the same day. The call-off is captured, checked against available inventory, picked and marked ready for dispatch.

How do we know the inventory is correct?

PROWERB holds the items in its own warehouse and posts inventory in real time in its own ERP and warehouse system, PROWERB CORE. If something deviates — shortfall, quantity discrepancy, posting correction — the case is resolved within the same transaction; posting and reality stay in sync.

Who handles transport and delivery?

Shipment tracking and notification run out of the same transaction; if a delivery needs a courier or freight forwarder, PROWERB commissions them directly. No handovers between service providers, no cascade of interfaces.

What happens with discrepancies — for example a shortfall?

The exception is handled by the team that knows the transaction, until it's closed. Exception handling is part of this account's service profile, not extra work.

How does the entry into ongoing operations like this work?

It starts with a non-binding Needs Check in under 60 seconds. Onboarding takes about 14 weeks, parallel operation is possible — and you have a dedicated contact throughout instead of a call center.
