Once your products arrive at our facility, we take over the process in a systematic manner: receiving, inspection, traceability, and putaway—ensuring that your goods are secure and ready for prompt shipment.
Well done and thank you to the team for stepping up the pace over the past 48 hours with the arrival of the bags. The number of pending orders on our B2B platforms has dropped from 70 to just over 30—that’s a lot of large orders for you to prepare, and retailers who are finally happy to receive their packages.
— Isabelle Spiri, Brand Director at Hindbag
Even before your goods arrive, we prepare for their receipt using the information you provide us: supplier, expected item numbers, quantities, and expected delivery date.
You know what to expect: express putaway in less than 24 hours, or a more cost-effective receipt within 5 business days.
Upon receipt, we verify that what we received matches what was expected. Quantities, part numbers, and the visible condition of the packages: we check the essential details to ensure the accuracy of your inventory as soon as it arrives at our facility.
Upon request, we can go a step further: enhanced quality control for sensitive goods, or more thorough inspections during a product launch, to help build trust with your supplier.
When your products require it, we track key information: lot number, serial number, best-by date, use-by date, or specific requirements. This allows you to maintain a clear overview of your sensitive products, particularly in the cosmetics, gourmet food, dietary supplements, fragrances, and regulated products sectors.
Once your merchandise has been received and inspected, we add it to inventory so it’s ready for sale through your sales channels. You avoid unnecessary stockouts, your restocks can go back online, and you can operate with reliable inventory without having to manage every operational detail.
For lightning-fast stocking and rapid integration of your new products. This solution allows you to streamline your product launches, restocks, and peak periods as much as possible.
This is how much it costs to put your products into inventory when the packaging is uniform. It’s a simple way to keep your costs under control when your goods arrive properly prepared.
This is the average time it takes the Boost team to unload a 40-foot container. You entrust your goods to us, and we organize the unloading process efficiently and quickly to ensure they are safely brought into inventory.
This ensures you have a reliable team that meets its deadlines and guarantees fast, controlled stocking. Your merchandise will be available for sale on time, with no unexpected delays.
Goods receipt is the first step in processing merchandise when it arrives at our warehouse. In e-commerce, this process involves verifying the products received, quantities, SKUs, the condition of the packages, and information related to the supplier’s order. For you, as an e-commerce retailer, this step is essential: a properly executed receiving process ensures reliable inventory, rapid stocking, and smoother order fulfillment.
For an online store, receiving goods is not just a formality. Receiving goods is a step that impacts the entire supply chain: storage, order fulfillment, shipping, home delivery, and customer satisfaction. If goods aren’t properly inspected upon arrival, it can lead to inventory errors, shipping delays, or customer returns. At Boost, we take this step seriously because it directly determines the quality of service you provide to your customers.
A well-managed receiving process has a direct impact on order processing and order fulfillment. When a product is received, inspected, identified, and stored in the correct location, our team can locate it more quickly and fulfill your orders more reliably. This improves processing speed, reduces lead times, prevents unnecessary stockouts, and contributes to greater customer satisfaction.

Receiving is an integral part of internal logistics. If a product is received incorrectly, misidentified, or misplaced, shipping may be delayed, and home delivery may be affected. Conversely, efficient receiving ensures that products are made available quickly, enables smoother order fulfillment, and improves coordination with the carrier. For your end customer, this translates to a more reliable experience and a better brand image, including in shorter supply chains related to urban logistics.
The receiving process begins with scheduling delivery slots, followed by unloading the goods from the truck, pallet, or packages. Our team then verifies the supplier’s documents, checks quantities, sorts products by group or SKU, scans item codes as needed, and then labels and puts the items into stock. This receiving process is a key step in ensuring that every product is available in the right place at the right time and in ensuring more reliable order fulfillment.
The logistics specialist’s role is to ensure the smooth operation of every step of the process from the moment products arrive: unloading, inspection, handling, compliance checks, data entry, and real-time inventory updates. Our team verifies that the supplier matches the expected order, that the received goods are in compliance, and that each item is ready for storage, order fulfillment, or shipment. It is this thorough work that helps prevent unpleasant surprises down the line.
An efficient receiving area must be designed to facilitate the work of the team and field staff and to streamline the flow of incoming goods. It must be tailored to the volume, industry, pallets, packages, handling requirements, and the company’s logistics setup. At Boost, we organize the warehouse so that we can quickly sort, inspect, identify, and direct products to the correct storage location. The goal is simple: to prevent errors and save time as soon as the goods arrive.
Whenproducts arrive, several checks are required: quantity received, condition of the goods, compliance with the supplier’s order, quality of the items, labeling, product code, and carrier information. This inspection and quality control process allows us to quickly identify any discrepancies, damaged packages, incorrect SKUs, or missing products. For you, this reduces the risk of delays, customer returns, and incorrect stocking.
To avoid errors, you need a clear process, a trained team, regular checks, and a reliable system. Receiving should not rely solely on manual verification: we use traceability tools, scanners, computer data, and precise procedures to identify each unit received. This system allows us to adjust inventory levels, minimize discrepancies, and ensure the reliability of your future orders.
Management software, such as a WMS (warehouse management system), enables real-time tracking of receiving, inventory management, storage locations, and traceability. This management system minimizes manual tasks, reduces data entry errors, and facilitates the fast and accurate processing of received products. At Boost, we rely on IT tools and an automated receiving process to ensure data reliability, maintain a clear history, and provide you with a more comprehensive view of your inventory.
Traceability allows us to know which product was received, on what date, in what quantity, by which carrier, in what condition, and where it was stored. For us, it’s a key element in ensuring comprehensive tracking between the supplier, warehouse, inventory, order fulfillment, shipping, and the end customer. For you, this provides peace of mind: you know that your goods are tracked, identified, and reliably integrated into the supply chain.
The receiving process must be tailored to your industry, volume, products, sales peaks, and supply constraints. A ready-to-wear business, an accessories store, an online retailer, and a mail-order brand all have different needs. At Boost, we tailor the implementation of the process to your business to ensure seamless management, from warehouse receipt through order fulfillment to shipping.
