Services 1.2 · Inbound & Inventory Management

Inventory management begins at the ramp.

Goods receipt, booking-in, put-away, stocktaking: PROWERB manages inventory across more than 55,000 group-wide pallet spaces in real time — RFID-capable, booked without gaps in the proprietary ERP/WMS. What's delivered is in the system before it's on the shelf. And if the delivery isn't right, we resolve the discrepancy: with the supplier and the freight forwarder, in your brand's name.

Inventory management begins at the ramp.
Starting point

Resolve discrepancies where they become visible.

Example: the delivery note lists 100 units, but inspection finds 98. The actual receipt and difference are recorded; the responsible owner resolves a supplementary delivery or document correction. Only released quantities enter available stock. Later warehouse movements are also reconciled with system inventory.

Process

From notification to stocktaking, every movement is booked.

Six steps connect physical receipt, booking and reconciliation. Differences are recorded and corrected after review.

  1. 01

    01 · Notification & scheduling

    Delivery notification, slot planning, coordination with suppliers and freight forwarders. Urgent deliveries are prioritized for receiving and booking-in — campaign goods go first.

  2. 02

    02 · Receiving & inspection

    Unloading, counting, visual inspection, reconciliation against the order and delivery note. Discrepancies are documented at the gate, not discovered weeks later.

  3. 03

    03 · Real-time booking-in

    Booking in the proprietary ERP/WMS (PROWERB Core): RFID-capable, without gaps, in real time. Inventory is visible in the system from the moment of receiving — for us and for you.

  4. 04

    04 · Put-away by goods type

    High-runners, slow-movers, manual and bulky goods, glass, hazardous materials, protective goods: each item goes to the storage area that suits it.

  5. 05

    05 · Discrepancy resolution

    Complete and partial shortfalls, booking reconciliation, inventory correction. We handle correspondence with suppliers and freight forwarders — until the discrepancy is resolved.

  6. 06

    06 · Stocktaking & relocation

    Target-actual reconciliation, ongoing inventory maintenance, relocations between storage areas and sites. Gapless booking turns the stocktake into a confirmation instead of a surprise.

Infrastructure

Built for assortments that change constantly.

In Kleve, PROWERB operates the newly built hall completed in 2022 with 25,000 square meters plus connected external warehouses of more than 15,000 square meters; add to that the promotional-products hub in Dortmund. Goods receipt feeds directly into the autonomous picking system PROFLOW APC — from the gate to picking without a system break.

Goods receipt is the start of the route.

What's cleanly booked here then runs through picking, dispatch and exception-handling management — in the same system.

01Promotional-products fulfillment →Storage, pick & pack, dispatch for permanently managed promotional items — with a same-day rate above 95 percent. The same-day share is an operating metric for permanently stocked promotional items, not a promise for each order. Dispatch depends on available stock, complete and approved order data, the agreed cut-off and working days. We clarify the reporting period and applicable service level for your project.
02Order-to-cash →From standardized order intake to credit note: order processing as ongoing operations.
03Dispatch, shipment tracking & notification →Outbound with tracking and recipient notification — the continuation of the inbound booking chain.
04Exception handling & returns managementTransport deviations, non-receipt, returns: resolution in the customer's name, documented in the system.
FAQ

The questions logistics and marketing managers ask us first.

How fast are delivered goods in the system?

Booking happens at the point of receiving — inventory is visible in the ERP/WMS in real time. For urgent cases, there's a prioritized process: book in goods receipt for urgent delivery, for example when campaign goods arrive shortly before a campaign start.

What happens with delivery discrepancies?

Complete and partial shortfalls are standard processes for us: the deviation is documented at goods receipt, inventory is corrected, and resolution with the supplier or freight forwarder is handled — in your name, through to completion.

How does the stocktake work?

As a target-actual reconciliation based on gapless real-time booking. Because every movement from the gate to dispatch is booked, the stocktake confirms the system inventory instead of reconstructing it.

Do we see our inventory in our own systems?

Yes. The Operations Cockpit delivers inventory development, live reports and automated extracts — available around the clock and integrable into your system landscape.

Does PROWERB also store bulky goods, glass or hazardous materials?

Yes. There are separate storage areas for manual and bulky goods, glass, hazardous materials and protective goods — each with appropriate handling and its own inventory management.
