Here’s how it works

  • Incoming goods (Monday to Friday)

    You register incoming goods in writing or electronically. We check the goods for any outside damage and prepare them for storage.
  • Storage

    Our intelligent storage space management system assigns the appropriate space to your goods, and is optimized for storage regulations, product dimensions and turnaround. We use a standard storage strategy known as “first in, first out”.
  • Inventory management

    Thanks to seamless system support, you keep a close eye on your inventory and can identify fast movers and bad sellers quickly.
  • Outgoing goods and picking

    After a positive availability check, we create the picking order. We manage the picking process systematically and create delivery notes and labels.
