Case: Shop, Logistics, IT and Marketing for an Infrared Specialist

A mid-sized infrared specialist sells directly to end customers — and needs the same functions for that as a large corporation: order and invoice processing, inventory management, ongoing promotions, stable IT, planned marketing. Since 2023, PROWERB has operated these areas from a single source: the promotional-products shop, inbound logistics, IT-infrastructure monitoring, and the company's marketing projects.

Case: Shop, Logistics, IT and Marketing for an Infrared Specialist
Key facts

The mandate in brief

Not a single project, but ongoing operations across four trades — from order intake to the marketing plan.

01CustomerMid-sized infrared specialist with direct sales (D2C/e-commerce).
02CollaborationSince 2023, ongoing operations.
03Service areasPromotional-products shop with order and invoice processing, promotion app with end-customer support, goods receipt and inventory management, master-data and item maintenance, IT-infrastructure and firewall monitoring, marketing projects.
04PromotionsVoucher and discount campaigns as well as seasonal campaigns, processed including end-customer support.
Starting point

Coordinating four service providers is also a full-time job.

The classic mid-market response to growing demands: a specialist for every task. An agency for marketing, a logistics provider for the warehouse, a systems house for IT, a service provider for the shop. The result is four contracts, four contacts and four interfaces — and coordination stays stuck with the customer. Anyone selling directly to end customers has no capacity for that: what decides there are ongoing promotions, reliable inventory and IT that doesn't fail.

Coordinating shop, customer-service and IT tasks in one operational review.
Solution

A mandate that goes beyond fulfillment.

PROWERB didn't take over one trade, but the operation behind it. The promotional-products shop runs with continuous order and invoice processing. Voucher and discount promotions as well as seasonal campaigns are processed via a promotion app — including support for the specialist's end customers.

Deliveries are posted, inventory is managed, items are maintained via standard notification processes. Add what appears on no fulfillment price list: monitoring of the IT infrastructure including firewall, and marketing projects from online marketing through campaign management to a shared marketing plan.

Operations

Five work streams, one dedicated contact.

What runs in parallel day to day — and arrives at the customer as a single operating state:

  1. 01

    01 · Shop & processing

    Order intake, order confirmation, invoice and credit-note processing in the ongoing operation of the promotional-products shop.

  2. 02

    02 · Goods receipt & inventory

    Post deliveries, manage inventory, resolve discrepancies — the basis every promotion builds on.

  3. 03

    03 · Master data & items

    Creation, change and deactivation of items via standardized notification processes instead of ad-hoc emails.

  4. 04

    04 · Promotion & end customer

    Voucher and discount campaigns as well as seasonal campaigns via the promotion app — end-customer support runs alongside.

  5. 05

    05 · IT & marketing

    Firewall and infrastructure monitoring in the background; marketing projects run in parallel, from campaign management to the marketing plan.

Result

In ongoing operations since 2023 — across all four trades.

Orders get processed, inventory is correct, promotions run through the seasons, the firewall is monitored before anything fails — and marketing decisions come from a plan instead of individual assignments. For the customer, that means one interface instead of four, one contract instead of four, and a service provider who understands the connection between campaign, stock level and system landscape because it operates all three.

Thesis

Full service isn't a promise. It's an operating state.

Promotional-products agencies deliver campaigns, logistics providers deliver pallets, systems houses deliver tickets. This case shows a fourth path: one operator running all three roles under the same roof — taking the coordination off the mid-sized company's plate that would otherwise stay stuck with it.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about operations across multiple trades.

Does PROWERB really take over several trades at once?

Yes. In this mandate, four areas have run in ongoing operations since 2023: the promotional-products shop with order and invoice processing, goods receipt and inventory management, IT-infrastructure monitoring including firewall, and marketing projects. The customer has one interface and one contract instead of four.

We're a mid-sized company — isn't a mandate like this a size too big?

The opposite: anyone selling directly to end customers needs the same functions as a large corporation but has no capacity to coordinate four service providers. In this model, exactly that coordination burden sits with the operator, not the customer.

How do promotions and support for our end customers work?

Voucher and discount campaigns as well as seasonal campaigns are processed via a promotion app — end-customer support runs alongside. Every promotion builds on managed inventory, so campaign and availability match up.

How are items and master data maintained?

Creation, change and deactivation of items run via standardized notification processes instead of ad-hoc emails. That keeps shop, inventory and billing consistent.

What does IT monitoring mean in this context?

PROWERB monitors the IT infrastructure including firewall in the background — with the goal of spotting anomalies before anything fails. Monitoring runs in the same mandate as shop, logistics and marketing.

How do we start if several service providers are currently involved?

With a non-binding Needs Check in under 60 seconds, we clarify which trades are relevant. The takeover runs as onboarding over roughly 14 weeks, if needed in parallel operation with existing service providers — with a dedicated contact instead of a call center.
