# A pricing model you can plan with

A warehouse proposal needs to reflect the work that will actually be done. We map your goods flow, agree the scope and price the activities, so you can see how the costs are built up.

- Fixed prices per activity
- Agreed scope and service levels
- Separate, visible cost lines

01 / Building the proposal

## How we prepare a quotation

The starting point is your products, order profile and handling requirements. These determine the operation and the activities included in the proposal.

1. 01
   
   ### Map the goods flow
   
   Assortment, product dimensions, inbound deliveries, order lines, seasonality and returns. We look at what drives the workload.
2. 02
   
   ### Design the operation
   
   Storage format, manual and automated tasks, integrations, staffing and service levels. The setup needs to match the products and channels.
3. 03
   
   ### Define the cost lines
   
   The scope is translated into agreed activities and transaction prices. You can see which work is included and what it is measured against.

### Useful information for the first conversation

- Products and assortment
- Inbound and outbound volumes
- Orders and order lines
- Peaks and seasonality
- Returns and product preparation
- Systems, integrations and service requirements

02 / Pricing structure

## Activities included in the quotation

Fixed pricing does not mean one all-inclusive amount. The proposal consists of the cost lines that apply to your operation.

| Activity | What the cost line covers | What we agree |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Inbound handling | Receipt, registration and any agreed checks. | Inbound profile, handling tasks and pricing unit. |
| Storage | Space and storage format suited to the products. | Storage needs, calculation basis and period. |
| Picking and packing | Order preparation, picking, packing and agreed checks. | Order profile, packing requirements and transaction unit. |
| Returns | Receipt, assessment and agreed next-step handling. | Returns rules, checks and treatment of the products. |
| Additional work | Printing, labelling, personalisation or repairs where relevant. | The specific task, scope and applicable price. |

Illustrative structure, not a price list. Units, rates, inclusions and any additional cost lines are specified in the individual proposal.

The pricing principle

Agreed volume**×**Fixed rate**=Cost per activity**

The relevant activity costs form the basis of the proposal. Storage and other agreed services appear as separate cost lines.

### When the operation changes

New channels, different products or additional handling can change the work. Scope, service levels and pricing assumptions need to be reviewed together when the operation changes.

03 / Onboarding

## Implementation and go-live

Implementation has its own structure. We align responsibilities, data and working methods before volumes move into the warehouse.

1. 01
   
   ### Kickoff
   
   Agree ownership, timetable, dependencies and responsibilities.
2. 02
   
   ### Operating setup
   
   Define the goods flow, work instructions, staffing and control points.
3. 03
   
   ### Systems and testing
   
   Set up and test product data, orders, returns rules, reporting and integrations.
4. 04
   
   ### Stock transition
   
   Plan receipt, locations, labelling and the phasing-in of goods and processes.
5. 05
   
   ### Go-live and stabilisation
   
   Follow up the first weeks closely and establish the handover to ongoing operations.

04 / Operations

## Routines, staffing and responsibilities

We build operations within our operation. A straightforward warehouse setup and a complex multi-channel operation need different routines and staffing.

### An operating setup suited to the tasks

We do not start with one standard SOP for every customer. Procedures and control points are built around the goods, channels and agreed service level.

### Dedicated teams when needed

Larger, more complex setups can have assigned employees and a dedicated team leader, with closer follow-up and clear day-to-day ownership.

## Practical questions about the model

Is everything included in one fixed amount?

No. The proposal uses separate cost lines for the agreed activities and services. Fixed rates apply to the defined units and scope, not to an unspecified all-inclusive package.

What should we prepare before requesting a proposal?

Product information, typical order volumes and order lines, inbound deliveries, seasonal peaks, return volumes and any handling or integration requirements. We clarify missing information together.

Does every customer get the same operating setup?

No. Product characteristics, sales channels and service requirements determine the workflow. Staffing and the degree of automation are adapted to the operation.
