When warehousing becomes a priority
Your catalogue is growing. Make room for your stock.
Stock levels change with the season
Product launches, promotions and replenishment need space planned ahead. We assess average stock, peaks and delivery frequency with you.
Availability is hard to track
More products, variants and movements make stock harder to follow. Recorded inventory helps you see what you have and what needs reordering.
Storage and warehouse locations
The right place for every product
An outsourced eCommerce warehouse is a facility run by an external operator to receive, store and maintain your store's inventory. At Umbria Hub, we organise storage around your products' dimensions, packaging, quantities and turnover.
Storage security and insurance
A CCTV-monitored warehouse with controlled access and insurance cover under the agreed terms. The proposal sets out storage arrangements, responsibilities and the cover applicable to your goods.
Pallets for reserve stock
Pallets and cartons for bulk stock. We agree receiving and handling arrangements based on your goods.
Shelving for individual products
Identifiable locations keep products and variants separate, making items easier to find, count and move.
Bins for small items
Organised spaces separate smaller products and components according to your catalogue and handling requirements.
Goods receiving
A clear process for incoming stock
Warehouse control starts when products arrive. Your supplier can deliver directly, or you can transfer goods from your own premises, with receiving details agreed in advance.
- 1
Plan the arrival
Share product details, expected quantities, codes and packaging. We organise receiving for pallets, uniform or mixed cartons and individual items.
- 2
Check and register
We check quantities and condition under the agreed instructions, register the products and handle any discrepancies.
- 3
Assign storage locations
We place goods in their storage locations and update stock records in the WMS, our warehouse management software.
You can add a quality check with photos to assess the condition of incoming products.
Inventory and stock rotation
Keep quantities, batches and expiry dates under control
Stock management continues after goods are stored: we record movements, check quantities and organise product rotation.
Counting and reconciliation
We compare physical quantities with recorded inventory and handle discrepancies. The reconciliation service includes an email notification about stock checks.
FIFO and FEFO
FIFO moves the first goods received first. For products with batches and expiry dates, we use FEFO, prioritising the earliest expiry.
Reordering and replenishment
Stock records, movements and low-stock notifications help you decide when to replenish the warehouse and plan upcoming deliveries.
You stay in control
Your goods are here. Your stock information stays with you.
My Umbria Hub is the portal for following your warehouse operations. Consult your catalogue, distinguish physical stock from available quantities and review movement history.

FAQ
Your warehousing questions
Can I request storage only, without order preparation?
Yes. You can use Umbria Hub just for receiving, storage and stock control. Order preparation and other services can be added when needed; movements and outbound arrangements are agreed in the proposal.
Which products can I store in your warehouse?
We handle eCommerce products except food, which is currently outside our service. Before goods arrive, share their characteristics, dimensions, weight, packaging and storage requirements so we can define a suitable solution.
How do you choose between pallets, shelving and bins?
We assess product dimensions, quantities, packaging and turnover. We organise reserve stock on pallets, individual products on shelving and small items in bins, assigning identifiable locations for inventory management.
Do you manage batches, expiry dates and stock rotation?
Yes. We manage batches and expiry dates under the agreed workflow. For non-perishable products we use FIFO, moving the first goods received first; for products with expiry dates we use FEFO, prioritising the earliest expiry.
How do I follow stock levels and inventory discrepancies?
In My Umbria Hub you can consult products, physical stock, availability and movements. The reconciliation service compares physical and recorded quantities and includes an email notification about stock checks. Reports and stock notifications help you plan replenishment.
Can I use your facility alongside my own warehouse?
Yes, we can assess storage for part of your inventory, new products or seasonal stock. Before launch, we define which products to entrust to Umbria Hub, how to record movements and how to divide work between the two warehouses.
Are there minimum quantities? What if I need my goods back?
We don't require minimum inbound volumes. Space and activities are defined around your products and needs. If you want to recover your goods, we agree timing, outbound arrangements and applicable costs, preparing their return to your chosen address.
