Everything for the shops

We offer customized solutions for transport and warehousing.

Our services include returns from the client and transport between their shops. We pick up cardboard and plastic film from the stores and we can take over full management of return packaging. Our clients can always count on the punctuality, professional approach and impeccable manners of our drivers.

Additionally, we have set up special co-packing zones in our warehouse for picking assorted goods according to the client’s requirements.

A dedicated team guides you through a clear, structured onboarding process:

1. We get to know your business

We analyse your products, volumes and delivery flows to understand how your operations really work – across markets and channels.
Based on this, we define how logistics should support your business, not limit it.

2. We identify risks and define requirements

We assess potential risks and operational gaps, such as damages, delays or complexity across markets.
At this stage, we also align working standards, define service expectations and prepare KPI framework for performance measurement.

3. We design and integrate your logistics setup
We design your end-to-end logistics process: transport flows within our European network, warehousing and distribution model, delivery logic aligned with your business. 
At the same time, we implement IT solutions: onboarding into myRaben platform for full visibility and management, integration via EDI or system connections to ensure seamless data exchange, setup of reporting and monitoring aligned with agreed KPIs.

4. We launch and continuously improve
We start operations and monitor performance from day one. Based on defined KPIs, we continuously analyse results and optimize processes as your business evolves.
