Solution · Dispatch processes

The next order should not need another spreadsheet round.

Recurring shipping orders can be handed over in a structured way. PROWERB agrees required data, references, approvals and updates with your system, while exceptions retain a clear handling process.

How the steps connect

  1. 1

    Receive the order

    Accept products, quantities, recipients and a unique reference from the source system.

  2. 2

    Validate data

    Resolve incomplete information and missing approvals before execution.

  3. 3

    Return status

    Send agreed order and shipping information back to the originating system.

The problem

The bottleneck isn't in the warehouse. It's in the handoffs.

Every manual step between order and delivery costs time and produces errors: retyping, forwarding, following up, resolving. Four transaction types keep filling the inboxes.

01Order call-off by attachmentThe order arrives as a file by email, and someone enters it into the system. Every time, from scratch.
02Where is my shipment?Status queries about shipments in transit and long since delivered tie up teams who should be planning campaigns instead.
03Exception case in transportNon-receipt, deviation, extra costs: without a defined process, every case moves through the inbox as an individual decision.
04Return without a way backCourier and carrier commissioning for retrievals runs ad hoc — and stalls when nobody is responsible.

Atlas & Nexus · PROWERB systems

Planning stays connected to fulfilment.

Atlas gives clients access to products, stock, campaigns and orders. Nexus supports operational processing. We agree the views and handovers needed for your project.

The building blocks

Automated means: the standard case runs without intervention.

PROWERB Core manages orders, items and stock in one system — RFID-capable, with continuous real-time entries. Start with one recurring ordering channel and describe its standard case: an unambiguous item, available quantity, complete delivery address and agreed approval.

Then use an exceptional order to establish who resolves missing details or a quantity change. File exchange can suit batch call-offs; ongoing individual orders need an agreed handover and feedback route. These rules make the connection a dependable dispatch process.

01Order-to-cash →Order call-offs arrive as shop orders, via SFTP file exchange, as a direct import from a campaign app, or still as a file — and are automatically checked, booked and bundled into picking orders.
02Dispatch and advance notification →Shipment tracking and advance notification run system-supported. The Operations Cockpit shows track & trace and inventory development live — around the clock, integrated into your systems on request.
03Exception handling and returns →Non-receipt, transport deviation, retrieval: defined workflows with fixed ownership in account management instead of individual cases in an inbox.
04Dropshipping and supplier connection →New orders automatically trigger the notification to the supplier — dispatch starts where the goods are.
05Robotics in pickingPROFLOW APC picks autonomously in 24/7 operations and covers more than 85 percent of stored items. Permanently stocked promotional items leave the warehouse the same day in over 95 percent of cases. 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.

What this shows

Connected from order to document.

The visual orders recurring process steps. The important part is continuous booking without a manual handover.

Proven in operation

Vaillant has been calling off since 2007 — the order call-off is routine, not a project.

PROWERB has run Vaillant's order and warehouse logistics for almost two decades: standardized order call-offs from the warehouse, goods receipt and inventory management, shipment tracking, courier commissioning and exception handling — continuous ongoing operations with barely any campaign share.

How orders arrive depends on the customer: Erdinger submits order files via SFTP, for the Bitburger summer campaign winner addresses were imported directly from the campaign app, junited AUTOGLAS orders through the promotional-products shop we operate.

The switchover

One order before and after integration.

Example: order A-104 for 20 approved kits to a branch. Previously a person re-entered the list and requested dispatch status separately. After integration, the same reference follows validation, dispatch and feedback.

  1. 01

    Intake

    A-104, article, quantity, address and approval enter as structured data.

  2. 02

    Validation

    Check duplicates, stock and required fields; missing details go to the agreed exception contact.

  3. 03

    Execution

    Pick and dispatch the approved order; partial delivery follows agreed rules only.

  4. 04

    Feedback

    Return order reference, dispatch status and tracking through the agreed channel; monitor transmission errors.

Frequently asked questions

What procurement and marketing want to know before switching over.

Which ordering channels can be connected?

Direct shop connection, SFTP file exchange, direct import from campaign apps, and the MEP platform with connections to existing online shops, ERP and WMS systems. Email-based ordering channels can also be structurally taken over — they become a standard transaction in the system.

Do we keep visibility into ongoing dispatch?

Yes. The Operations Cockpit delivers Power BI live reports, track & trace, inventory development and budget control — available around the clock and integrable into your systems.

What happens with cases no system covers?

Exception cases run through defined workflows to account management: three fixed levels — key account, campaign control, operational fulfillment — instead of changing ownership. Non-receipt, transport deviation and returns each have their own process.

Can the process handle campaign peaks?

Yes. Capacity can be increased to 200 percent of baseline capacity within 24 hours, and to 400 percent of baseline capacity within 72 hours. The campaign line runs 1 to 15,000 shipments per day, with changeover in under three hours.
