1.2 · Logistics & Fulfillment · Dispatch & Notification

Sent is not delivered.

PROWERB operates the outbound side of brand and promotional-products logistics: more than 2 million shipments per year, from a single parcel to the end customer to a palletized carrier delivery to retail. After goods leave the warehouse, every shipment stays in the system — track-and-trace via the Operations Cockpit, recipient notification, documented exception handling whenever a delivery deviates. B2B, B2C and D2C all run over the same route.

Since 1979 · more than 2M shipments/year · ISO 9001 & 14001 · EcoVadis Silver

Index 01 · Starting Point

"Where is the shipment?" is not a logistics question. It is a brand question.

Anyone waiting for a promotional-products shipment — the retailer before a campaign, the employee after ordering, the sweepstakes winner — does not distinguish between the brand and the service provider. If the status inquiry goes unanswered, the brand pays for it.

PROWERB therefore runs shipment tracking and notification not as an add-on to dispatch but as its own process: carrier status data flows back into PROWERB CORE via Parcel Connectors, and every inquiry is answered from the case itself — in the background, on behalf of the brand.

From label to delivery resolution: outbound as one continuous route.

At PROWERB, dispatch does not end at the loading dock. Five service components cover the route from goods issue to confirmed delivery.

01Dispatch processing — parcel to full truckloadSingle parcels, courier shipments, bulky goods such as umbrellas, glass shipments, palletized carrier freight up to full truckload. The dispatch route is set by the shipment and recipient, not by a standard tariff.
02Shipment tracking / track-and-traceCarrier status data flows directly into the system via Parcel Connectors. The Operations Cockpit makes every shipment status visible — around the clock, integrated into the customer's systems on request.
03Notification →Recipients learn what's coming: dispatch confirmation and direct mail to recipients from the Operations Cockpit, delivery notification for carrier freight to retail and goods-receiving points.
04Courier and carrier commissioningAlso outside standard dispatch: an urgent single shipment by courier, short-notice carrier commissioning, pickup at the recipient — commissioned and documented from the same system.
05Status inquiries and delivery resolutionStatus inquiry, non-receipt despite delivery status, transport deviation or extra cost — every case is run and resolved as a defined case, not researched via inbox.

Goods issue is booked before the truck leaves the yard.

Parcel tracking follows carrier events. Freight planning includes agreed pre-advice, receiving windows and unloading conditions. Status and evidence depend on the shipping service; handover to the carrier is not yet confirmed delivery.

The question of whereabouts is part of daily business — not the exception.

The question of whereabouts is part of daily business — not the exception.

In the tracking-intensive accounts, shipment tracking isn't an extra, it's the core of ongoing operations: ongoing carrier and dispatch correspondence, transport exception handling, delivery resolution — case by case, barely any of it campaign-related.

There are ranges where PROWERB runs the entire route from goods receipt to dispatch, and others where courier and transport commissioning is added case by case. The common denominator: no campaign noise, but outbound as ongoing operations — the same route, every day.

Index 05 · Process

Five steps with pre-advice before delivery.

The process is documented and runs the same way for every shipment — from the last step in the warehouse to the closed case at the recipient.

  1. 01

    Check and label

    Reconcile goods, address, packaging and delivery method.

  2. 02

    Plan transport

    Book parcel service or freight; clarify receiving conditions where needed.

  3. 03

    Notify

    For agreed pre-advice, coordinate delivery timing and receipt before arrival.

  4. 04

    Handover and follow

    Record handover and update available carrier events.

  5. 05

    Resolve exceptions

    Combine recipient, carrier and order data for non-receipt or damage.

Dispatch is the end of the route. Not the end of the process.

Before outbound come warehousing and order processing; after it come exception handling and returns — all in the same system.

01Promotional-products fulfillment →Warehousing, picking and packing of permanently stocked promotional items — the route before dispatch.
02Exception handling and returns management →When delivery isn't the end: non-receipt, transport damage, returns processing as a documented process.
03Order-to-cash →The commercial route before dispatch — from order receipt to the correct document.
04GPS tracking →Shipment tracking at the asset level — for transports where parcel status isn't enough.
Index 07 · Questions

Questions about dispatch and shipment tracking

Which shipping methods does PROWERB cover?

Parcel, courier, bulky goods such as umbrellas, glass shipments and palletized carrier freight up to full truckload — in B2B, B2C and D2C, from fan shop to point of sale to end customer.

How fast does an order leave the warehouse?

The figure of over 95 percent dispatched on the order day refers to permanently stocked promotional products. The mandate defines the reporting period, order/working day, available stock, complete approved order data and cut-off. This concerns dispatch, not delivery. The service level above 99 percent is a separate operating metric; its measure, denominator and exceptions are defined in the service scope.

Can we see shipment status in our own systems?

Yes. The Operations Cockpit delivers track-and-trace and live reports around the clock and can be integrated into customer systems — the status data comes directly from carriers via Parcel Connectors.

Are recipients actively informed about their shipment?

Yes. Dispatch confirmations and direct mails to recipients run from the Operations Cockpit; carrier deliveries to retail and goods-receiving points are notified in advance.

What happens if a shipment shows as delivered but hasn't arrived?

Non-receipt resolution is a defined standard case: check proof of delivery, clarify with the carrier, provide a response. Every case is documented and run through — not researched via inbox.
