How It Works
(for Animals & Pet Supplies)
Step 1
Connect your store(s)
Use our ready-made connectors or API to sync orders, inventory and returns with our WMS—no spreadsheets required. We support single-brand and multi-brand pet setups across Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, marketplaces and custom stores, with clean naming for SKUs, bundles and subscription products.
Â
Step 2
Inbound & QA
We receive cartons, pallets or containers, verify quantities, scan barcodes and apply basic quality checks tailored to pet products: packaging condition, seals, visible damage and best-before dates where relevant. Optional relabeling, language labels or channel-specific barcodes can be added to support regulatory and marketplace requirements.
Â
Step 3
Storage & visibility
Stock is stored in the most suitable zones (racks, shelves, bins) according to rotation, weight and product type—separating food, treats, toys, accessories and liquids where needed. Through our WMS you get real-time inventory by SKU, batch/lot or channel, plus reporting for replenishment, shelf-life and purchasing.
Step 4
Pick, Pack, Present
Orders are picked according to your SOPs and channel rules. We handle bulky bags, multi-item bundles and fragile goods with care, use suitable outer packaging, and can include branded inner materials, care guides or promo inserts. Same-day dispatch is available on eligible orders from our French and EU hubs.
Step 5
Shipping across the EU
We use optimized carrier services from our FR/DE/PL hubs to cover France and the wider EU. You can offer home delivery and pickup-point options, choose between speed-focused or cost-efficient services, and define rules for heavy, oversized or multi-parcel shipments without overpaying on freight.
Â
Step 6
Returns that pay back
We process returns according to your playbook, with particular attention to safety, hygiene and resale rules. Depending on product type and condition, items can be inspected, quarantined, scrapped, donated to approved partners, refurbished (for non-food items) or restocked. We help you design flows that recover maximum value while staying compliant.
Product Safety & Compliance for Pet Supplies
Animals & pet supplies involve feed regulations, product safety standards and transport rules that can vary by category and destination. We design inbound, storage, outbound and returns flows to respect shelf life, avoid cross-contamination, and keep documentation clean, accurate and audit-friendly. From batch tracking and best-before dates to carrier labels and invoices, we help ensure pet products stay safe, compliant and traceable across the EU.

Category-aware operations
We handle pet food, treats, toys, accessories and care products with processes tuned for weight, fragility, shelf life and safety. From mixed orders with heavy bags to curated pet boxes, our SOPs are designed for consistent handling at scale.
Customer experience for pet parents
Solid packaging, accurate picking and clear tracking help keep pet parents happy and reduce support tickets. We work with you to define how orders should look and feel when they arrive—whether it’s a simple reorder or an unboxing-style experience.
Returns that don’t kill margin
We inspect, grade and route returned items according to your category-specific policy, enabling refurbishment or resale for eligible non-food items and minimizing write-offs elsewhere, without compromising safety or regulations.
Value-added presentation (where it belongs)
For inner packaging, gift kits and subscription boxes, we can assemble curated experiences with marketing inserts, samples and educational materials about pet care—while keeping outer shipments carrier-compliant and robust enough for heavy loads.
Strategic EU footprint
Warehouses in France, Germany and Poland provide lower shipping costs and faster delivery across key EU pet markets. You can localize inventory for core countries while working with a single e-commerce 3PL.
Same-day dispatch + clear SLAs
We combine fast cut-offs with clear SLAs on receiving, picking, packing and shipping. You know what you can promise customers and marketplaces, and you get the data to monitor performance as your pet brand grows.
