What is stock update

Stock update notification is a crucial part of reliable stock update handling at the OGOship warehouse. All items must be labeled with a clear EAN code or SKU code.

Before shipping your goods to OGOship warehouse you need to make a stock update at myOGO to inform warehouse staff of incoming goods. This information is not transferred from your online store or any other external system. It needs to be created in myOGO.

Stock updates inform warehouse staff about the quantity of incoming goods and expected arrival time. After arrival warehouse staff checks the amount of received goods compared to the quantity informed in the stock update.

You can add products to stock updates either by using the xlsx import feature or by doing it manually.

Warehouse addresses and locations:

Warehouse locations and addresses can be found here.

Incoming goods and products:

Warehouse addresses and reference visible and correct on the shipping label. Check that the delivery address is written in the correct form as instructed here

<Your company name> c/o warehouse name
StockUpdate Reference: <reference of the stock update>

Incoming goods are checked in on work days, Monday to Friday between 8-16.

When the incoming goods have arrived at the warehouse the status changes to RECEIVED. After the warehouse staff has checked, counted the goods and placed them on shelves, the status will change to INSTOCK.

For peak days or special days per merchant, we have prepared a calendar for each warehouse. Letting us know beforehand ensures merchants that their bigger shipments (incoming or outgoing) are processed without delays.

Examples:

stock updates over 10 pallets
campaigns that have over double the normal volume
big shipments out (e.g. B2B) over 100 rows
new customers' 1st big stock updates

Depending on the case, we need 1-2 weeks' notice to ensure the schedules. Send an email to customer service at service@ogoship.com.

The better the merchant can estimate the campaigns and such, the better we can deliver service in those cases.

Labels on incoming goods:

All items must be labeled with a clear EAN code or SKU code. If for some reason the identification code is not possible add on the product, please note that the items must be packed 1 SKU per 1 box
All incoming shipments must be labeled outside the shipment with OGOship reference, own stock update reference or delivery tracking code. Minimum requirement is to have the online store name

Create one stock update per one incoming shipment:
- Stock update in myOGO should only have information of one incoming shipment from the supplier, and one stock update should not have information of incoming goods from multiple suppliers
- Example of how products should be marked both on the boxes and the product packaging:
- Clearly marked stock update reference on the box / in the paperwork:
