Italian Warehousing built around your supply chain
Pallet storage, repackaging, cross-dock and value-added services in Ravenna, run as part of your forwarding file. Not a separate contract.
A warehouse that thinks like a forwarder
Most logistics 3PLs treat freight as someone else’s problem; most forwarders treat warehousing the same way. Delta Novel runs both — so the warehouse plan, the customs file and the freight booking are designed to work together.
Forwarder-run warehouse, not a sub-contract
A Delta Novel team operates the warehouse. The same operations file owns receiving, storage, picking, customs and the next leg of transport.
Right next to the port of Ravenna
Operational hub close to the port of Ravenna and the wider North Adriatic gateway system — minutes from quay-side, motorway and intermodal rail.
Inventory and value-added services, run with discipline
Inventory accuracy, lot/batch control, FIFO/FEFO, repackaging, labelling and quality holds run with the same discipline as a deep-sea booking — because the warehouse is half the supply chain, not a side note.
Storage, value-added services, customs-bonded options
Whether you need a few hundred pallets in transit storage or a full inbound-to-distribution operation, Delta Novel runs warehousing as a real service line — with the systems, the procedures and the people behind it.
Pallet & rack storage
Standard, mezzanine and bulk storage on Italian high-bay racking, with documented inventory accuracy.
Inbound & cross-dock
Receiving, quality checks and cross-dock from FCL, LCL, road and air. The arrival shows in the portal as soon as our team books the cargo in.
Repackaging & labelling
Pallet rebuild, retail labelling, country-specific labelling, kitting and light assembly.
Value-added services
Quality inspection, sampling, photography, custom packing, sealing and lot/batch traceability.
Outbound & last mile
Order picking, B2B and B2C dispatch, last-mile booking on our road network and full PoD capture.
Customs-bonded options
Where appropriate, customs-bonded warehousing for goods awaiting clearance — coordinated with our in-house customs desk.
Pallet storage & inventory
Inventory is run with locator-based controls, regular cycle counts and documented accuracy KPIs. You see stock on hand, stock on order and stock-in-transit alongside your shipments, whenever you need it.
- Locator-based pallet control
- Cycle counts and accuracy KPIs
- Live stock visibility
Inbound & outbound execution
Receiving, putaway, picking and dispatch are slotted against the freight schedule — not against an internal queue. The truck that picks up the next leg is on the same plan as the team on the dock.
- Dock slots aligned to freight schedule
- Quality checks and damage capture on receipt
- Picking accuracy logged per order
Repackaging & value-added
Country-specific labelling, retail-ready packs, kitting, sampling, quality holds and photographic evidence — all the things that decide whether the cargo can ship to a buyer or not.
- Country-specific and retail-ready labelling
- Kitting and light assembly
- Quality holds with photographic evidence
