Season · Trade show & event

Complete before the event. Organised afterwards.

Event materials need a plan for delivery, use and return. PROWERB handles the agreed materials and logistics tasks; handovers to organisers and stand builders are defined in advance.

Plan backwards from the date

  1. 1

    Bring requirements together

    Compile equipment, consumables and quantities for the event.

  2. 2

    Coordinate delivery

    Define receiving windows, labelling and responsible contacts.

  3. 3

    Organise returns

    Record and inspect reusable materials and make them available again.

Starting point

Events rarely fail in front of the audience. They fail in the run-up and wind-down.

The material comes from three trades, the stand builder has its own schedule, the agency its own lists — and no one keeps a reliable inventory. After the show, unsorted returns pile up, shrinkage only shows up once the next date is looming. Whoever improvises each season anew pays twice: once in the stress before the event, then in the stocktaking afterward. The alternative is a system that runs the complete cycle — from goods receipt to the target-actual reconciliation after the last teardown.

Services

Store, deliver, assemble, retrieve, recondition — one cycle, one system.

Event logistics at PROWERB is a dedicated operational pillar with an event warehouse, in-house assembly teams and system-supported reverse logistics. Small event or large format: delivery and returns run through the same inventory management, booked in real time.

01Event warehouse & inventory managementYour trade-show and event material sits with us under systematic management: goods receipt, real-time inventory, gapless booking. You can see what's ready at any time — not just when it's being loaded.
02Delivery & on-site assemblyOur teams handle agreed assembly and dismantling of event materials. Stand construction trades, electrical connections, structural approvals and organiser services are scoped in advance; they are not automatically included. Dates, access and handover belong in the brief.
03Retrieval & refurbishmentReturns are counted and inspected. Intact goods can be released again; damaged or incomplete material remains blocked until refurbishment, replacement or disposal is decided. Availability for the next event follows release.
04Ticketing, VIP & hospitalityFrom the ticket request through allotment allocation and accreditation to confirmation, dispatch and reminders — guest processes run for us as a documented workflow, not a spreadsheet.
05Giveaways & campaign goodsKitting & assembly and display assembly on the campaign line, changeover time under three hours. From the small batch for a trade congress to the large campaign for a flagship trade show.
06Event equipment rental pool →Equipment from our own rental pool instead of new purchases per date — billed per use, maintained between uses.
Evidence

Coca-Cola: connecting event logistics and VIP ticketing.

For Coca-Cola, PROWERB runs event logistics and VIP ticketing as an ongoing operation — from the ticket request through allotment allocation and accreditation to dispatch and reminder management, plus parasol and glassware dispatch for retail and hospitality.

This is not a one-off project, but steady operations under time pressure. These peak figures refer to baseline output: 200% is double, 400% is fourfold (+300%). Achievable volume and lead time are agreed for the item mix, goods and data availability, staffing and shift plan.

Process

With us, every season ends with clean inventory.

Start with the time the stand must be ready. Work back through setup, the organizer’s confirmed delivery window, transport, picking and material inspection. Record hall, access, on-site contact, quantities per event and packing-list approval. Allow time between events for return transport, inspection and any repair; the same item cannot be reserved for both dates at once. If a return is expected late or approval is missing, the project lead decides before the next packing run on replacement, reduced scope or another transport option. The six steps below cover the material cycle.

  1. 01

    01 · Lead time & storage

    Assortment, quantities and dates are recorded, the material goes into the event warehouse. From goods receipt on, every item is tracked in inventory.

  2. 02

    02 · Picking per date

    For every trade show, every event, every location, we pick and kit specifically — ready to ship on the agreed date.

  3. 03

    03 · Delivery & assembly

    Our teams handle agreed assembly and dismantling of event materials. Stand construction trades, electrical connections, structural approvals and organiser services are scoped in advance; they are not automatically included. Dates, access and handover belong in the brief.

  4. 04

    04 · Operation & replenishment

    During the season, we replenish. We absorb order peaks via our flex-staff pool and shift extensions.

  5. 05

    05 · Disassembly & retrieval

    After the event, the same teams disassemble. The return to the warehouse runs system-supported — nothing disappears into third-party interim storage.

  6. 06

    06 · Refurbishment & stocktaking

    Returns are counted and inspected. Intact goods can be released again; damaged or incomplete material remains blocked until refurbishment, replacement or disposal is decided. Availability for the next event follows release.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about trade show and event logistics

How early do we need to request a trade-show season?

For larger fulfillment takeovers, seven phases lead from master data and contracts through systems and stock transfer to go-live. Around 14 weeks is a possible planning framework, depending on assortment, data quality, interfaces, stock availability and approvals. Individual campaigns and digital projects receive their own project plan.

Does PROWERB also handle on-site setup and teardown?

Our teams handle agreed assembly and dismantling of event materials. Stand construction trades, electrical connections, structural approvals and organiser services are scoped in advance; they are not automatically included. Dates, access and handover belong in the brief.

What happens to the material after the trade show?

Returns are counted and inspected. Intact goods can be released again; damaged or incomplete material remains blocked until refurbishment, replacement or disposal is decided. Availability for the next event follows release.

Can you also handle guest, ticket and hospitality processes?

Yes. We run ticket requests, allotment allocation, accreditation, confirmation, dispatch and reminder management as an ongoing process — documented at Coca-Cola.

What about short-notice peaks mid-season?

Capacity grows with demand: via flex-staff pool and shift extensions, 200 percent of baseline capacity within 24 hours, 400 percent of baseline capacity within 72 hours. An additional campaign line is set up in under three hours.
