Before any revenue
Lease the space, put up the racking, find and train staff, connect the IT, test the processes. Twelve to eighteen months in which money only flows out.
Delivery-ready in 27 EU countries. From day one.
Without your own entity, your own warehouse or your own staff. You rent an infrastructure that already exists – and pay for what you use.
What a European warehouse of your own really costs.
Rent is the smallest item. What gets expensive is everything attached to it: staff you hire before there is volume. A warehouse management system that has to be connected. And the time during which nothing flows.
From day one
Rent, wages, insurance, system costs – regardless of whether ten or ten thousand shipments go out.
If it does not work
Lease, employment contracts, equipment. A market entry that fails costs more than one that never happened.
With us the costs grow with the volume. Not before it.
Seven steps
From the legal entity to the repair bench.
01
Legal entity
Our import entity places your goods on the EU market. You need no company of your own.
02
Customs and import
Declaration, proofs of origin, duties, EORI. We run the procedure.
03
Compliance
Responsible Person under the GPSR, product and packaging law, CBAM where it applies.
04
Warehousing
Mainz hub, SAP-certified. Your stock is visible at any time, down to batch and serial number.
05
Distribution
Delivery to all 27 member states. Reference figure in current operation: more than 100 shipments a week.
06
Returns
Taking back, inspection, restocking or disposal – with documentation for your accounts.
07
Repair and spare parts
Repair in Europe instead of shipping back overseas. Saves weeks and customs cost.
Mainz. Because the distances are short there.
The location is not an accident. From Mainz you reach the Rhine-Main hub, the conurbations of western Europe and the North Sea ports within a day's haul.

Who this pays off for
The first-time exporter
You have Europe in view but no customer there yet. You want to be able to deliver before you invest.
The one growing
You already ship to Europe, but through forwarders and one-off arrangements. It works – until it does not.
The cautious one
You are testing Europe as a second market and want to be able to step back out after twelve months without legacy.
Not just a warehouse, but the whole road into the market – entity, customs, compliance, first customers?
Answered briefly
Frequently asked questions about logistics
Where is AugurPro's warehouse?
At the Mainz hub. From there we reach the Rhine-Main hub, the western European conurbations and the North Sea ports within a day's haul. The platform is SAP-certified and connected to common shop and ERP systems.
Which countries does AugurPro deliver to?
To all 27 EU member states, from the first shipment. The reference figure in current operation is more than 100 shipments a week.
Does AugurPro handle customs clearance too?
Yes, in house rather than through third parties. That covers the import declaration, proofs of origin and preferential proofs, EORI, import duties and CBAM where it applies.
From what volume does this pay off?
From the first shipment, because no fixed costs arise beforehand. The costs grow with the volume rather than ahead of it – that is the difference from a warehouse of your own, which incurs rent, wages and system costs from day one.
What happens with returns and repairs?
Both run at the same site. We take goods back, inspect them, restock or scrap them – with documentation for your accounts. Repairs and spare parts are handled in Europe instead of being shipped back overseas, which saves weeks, freight and customs cost.
Can I see my stock?
Yes, at any time and down to batch and serial number, over the SAP-certified platform.
