Priorities for your channel

Agree payment status, holds and fulfilment release. Test partial shipments, tracking and duplicate order handover with sample orders.
Brand experience and returns
Agree branded packaging, inserts and bundles using samples. Plan the returns portal, warehouse findings and refund decision as separate steps.
WAYFIRST · HAGEN
From selling channel to warehouse handling
Warehouse location and handling are agreed around your products, dimensions, daily volumes and returns. Before inbound delivery, confirm product acceptance, capacity, packaging samples and the inspection report you need.

When is your workflow ready to launch?
Adapt these proposed checks with your team. Launch readiness requires a recorded test result and a named owner.
01 · Products and variants
Every test line identifies the correct warehouse item, including variants and sets. Evidence: approved SKU mapping.
02 · Inventory reconciliation
Receiving, reservation and blocked stock produce the agreed sellable balance. Evidence: before-and-after reconciliation.
03 · Order and cancellation
An order is processed once. Test cancellation before picking and replay of a handover. Evidence: test log.
04 · Parcel and tracking
Label, quantity, carrier and tracking match the order; test partial shipments where needed. Evidence: sample label and status update.
05 · Return and approval
Match the return and document condition. Uncertain goods remain blocked; resale and refund need separate approval. Evidence: return report.
06 · Failure and recovery
Missing data or a failed handover produces an alert and a controlled retry. Evidence: failure test with a named owner.

Clarify before launch
Is a ready-made connection available?
We review your store or ERP, data fields and available handover methods. Connection and scope are confirmed after a documented test.
What timings and costs apply?
Receiving times, order cut-off, return reporting and exception handling are agreed for your volume and products. The quote should separate inbound handling, storage, dispatch, returns and additional work.
What is needed for the review?
Platform and market, product dimensions and weights, SKU and variant counts, daily volumes and peaks, returns profile, system, a sample order and a sample label.
