How It Works

(for Fashion & Shoes)
 

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 fashion setups across Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, marketplaces and custom stores, with clean mapping for sizes, colors, collections, bundles and pre-orders.

 

Step 2

Inbound & QA

We receive cartons, pallets or containers, verify quantities, scan barcodes and apply fashion-specific QC: checking packaging, labels, visible defects, sizes and color codes. Optional relabeling, re-tagging, price stickers or channel-specific barcodes can be applied to support retailers, marketplaces and local regulations.

 

Step 3

Storage & visibility

Stock is stored in the most suitable zones—hanging or flat, bins, shelves or racks—based on product type, sales velocity and season. Through our WMS you get real-time inventory by SKU, size, color, collection or channel, plus reporting for replenishment, slow movers and promotion planning.

Step 4

Pick, Pack, Present

Orders are picked according to your SOPs and channel rules. We fold garments neatly or ship them on hangers where required, protect delicate fabrics and shoe boxes, and can include branded tissue, stickers, bags or lookbooks. 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 per country or service level to keep freight costs under control while meeting customer expectations.

 

Step 6

Returns that protect your brand

We process returns according to your playbook, with a strong focus on reconditioning and resale. Items are checked for wear, damage and cleanliness; where possible we refold, steam, re-bag, re-box and re-tag products so they can go back to stock in “like new” condition. Items that don’t meet resale criteria are quarantined, discounted, sent to outlet flows or donated according to your rules.

Product Quality & Compliance for Fashion & Shoes

Fashion & shoes involve sizing, composition labels, country-of-origin marks, packaging rules and customs codes that must be consistent across markets and channels. We design inbound, storage, outbound and returns flows to keep product data clean, avoid mis-picks, and maintain documentation that is accurate and audit-friendly. From HS codes and material descriptions to packing lists and invoices, we help ensure apparel and footwear move smoothly across the EU and beyond.

Services for Fashion & Footwear Brands

Core 3PL & Fulfillment

Order fulfillment for B2C and B2B, including pick, pack, shipping, storage and returns, tailored to fashion, shoes and accessories. Same-day dispatch from our EU hubs and full visibility via our WMS/FMS, with processes built for high SKU counts, many sizes and frequent collection changes.

Product Prep, Kitting & Presentation

Relabeling and re-tagging (size labels, price tags, barcode changes), polybagging, creating outfit bundles and look-based kits, preparing promotional sets and influencer boxes, plus branded or neutral inserts depending on market and channel. We can follow your folding standards, packaging hierarchy and unboxing guidelines.

Returns, Reconditioning & Disposition

Returns processing with inspection and grading according to your rules. Where possible we steam, re-fold, re-bag, re-box and re-tag items so they look ready for first sale again. Products can be routed into full-price stock, outlet/discount flows, secondary channels or donations, with clear reporting so you see recovery and write-offs by category.

Amazon & Marketplace Programs

Support for Amazon FBA prep, Vendor/Direct Fulfillment and handling of removals and returns for apparel & footwear, plus tailored workflows for other marketplaces (Cdiscount, Kaufland, Allegro, eBay, OTTO, Zalando Partner, etc.). We follow platform-specific packaging and labeling rules while protecting your brand presentation and returns performance.

Warehousing

Racks, shelves, hanging rails and bin storage with both long-term and seasonal capacity across our locations in France, Germany and Poland. We can separate seasons, collections or channels physically or logically in the system, and reserve capacity for peak periods such as sales, Black Friday or drops.

Why Fashion & Shoes Brands Choose FLEX.

Category-aware operations

We handle apparel, shoes and accessories with processes tuned for sizes, colors, fabrics and presentation. From folded basics to delicate occasion pieces and boxed footwear, our SOPs are designed for consistent handling at scale.

Customer experience & brand presentation

Clean, well-packed orders with the right size and color keep returns lower and reviews higher. We work with you to define how garments and shoes should be folded, packed and presented so every shipment feels on-brand, whether it goes to a D2C customer or a marketplace buyer.

Returns that don’t kill margin

Fashion returns are part of the model—but they don’t have to kill profitability. We inspect, recondition and route returned items in line with your strategy so more units can be resold at the best possible price, while truly unsellable items are handled transparently and responsibly.

Value-added presentation (where it belongs)

For inner packaging, gift kits and special releases, we can assemble curated experiences with marketing inserts, seasonal lookbooks and campaign materials—while keeping outer shipments carrier-compliant and robust enough to protect your products in transit.

Strategic EU footprint

Warehouses in France, Germany and Poland provide lower shipping costs and faster delivery across key EU fashion markets. You can stage inventory close to your core customers while working with a single e-commerce 3PL partner.

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 fashion & shoes brand grows.

Compliance & Documentation

Security & Access Controls

We keep your fashion & footwear shipments compliant and audit-friendly.
