Advance notice (Avisierung)

Avisierung is the advance notice of a delivery to the recipient before it arrives: who delivers what, when, in what quantity, by what route. Its counterpart in goods receipt is the shipping notice from the sender. Notice is given by email, phone or system message — for freight forwarding shipments usually with a delivery time-slot agreement.

Advance notice (Avisierung)
Why it matters

Advance notice helps the recipient prepare for delivery.

Without coordination, a delivery may arrive at an occupied bay or without staff available. Advance notice gives the recipient contents, quantities and timing to plan receipt. It does not replace confirmation of the slot, suitable packaging or complete delivery documents, and therefore does not guarantee acceptance.

Avisierung at Prowerb

We give advance notice in both directions: from dispatch and into goods receipt.

Prowerb runs advance notice as a fixed part of dispatch and shipment tracking — in ongoing operations for customers such as Vaillant or junited AUTOGLAS and campaign-specific operations for Monster Energy, including freight-forwarder and recipient communication. And in the opposite direction: on the campaign line, just-in-time goods receipt begins with a shipment list and delivery notice, so that inbound delivery and line changeover interlock.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Avisierung.

Why isn't shipment tracking alone enough?

Shipment tracking shows where a shipment is — advance notice makes sure the recipient is prepared before it arrives. Without notice, goods arrive at an unprepared warehouse: dock occupied, staff not scheduled, receipt refused.

For which shipments is advance notice critical?

Above all in B2B dispatch with freight forwarding, oversized goods and time-slot delivery. There, advance notice determines whether delivery succeeds on the first attempt — every failed delivery attempt costs demurrage and time.

How does Prowerb notify recipients?

By email, phone or system message, for freight forwarding shipments usually with a delivery time-slot agreement. Advance notice is a fixed part of dispatch and shipment tracking — including freight forwarder and recipient communication, in ongoing operations for Vaillant or junited AUTOGLAS and campaign-specific operations for Monster Energy.

What happens if a delivery still fails?

Then exception handling kicks in: non-receipt, transport deviation or extra costs are documented and resolved. Clean advance notice reduces these cases from the outset.

Does Prowerb also give advance notice for incoming goods?

Yes, the same applies in the opposite direction: on the campaign line, just-in-time goods receipt begins with a shipment list and delivery notice, so that inbound delivery and line changeover interlock. This lets the warehouse plan dock and staff before the truck is on the yard.
