POS Material Logistics Provider — Warehouse to Store in 48h
POS Material Logistics Provider — Warehouse to Store in 48h
Your point-of-sale materials are only as powerful as the logistics behind them. A display that arrives late, a kitting error, a missed store opening — these are not minor inconveniences. They are lost revenue, damaged brand equity, and frustrated retail partners. ADL has been solving exactly these problems for brands and agencies since 2007, operating from a 5,400 m² dedicated facility in Bonson, France, with a 99.8% on-time delivery rate across 40+ countries.
If you are a marketing director, trade marketing manager, or agency sourcing a reliable POS material logistics provider for European or international campaigns, this page explains precisely what ADL delivers, how it works, and why 500+ clients trust us with their most time-sensitive advertising assets.
Why POS Logistics Is a Discipline of Its Own
Point-of-sale materials are not standard freight. Cardboard displays, floor stands, shelf talkers, wobblers, branded fixtures, and promotional kits combine fragile formats, strict planogram requirements, and hard retail deadlines. A general 3PL warehouse treats a pallet of POS materials the same way it treats a pallet of spare parts. ADL does not.
Since 2007, our entire operation has been built around advertising logistics — the storage, preparation, and distribution of marketing and promotional materials for brands operating at scale. Every process, every team member, every square metre of our warehouse is calibrated for this specific challenge. The result is a service that moves faster, makes fewer errors, and gives your marketing team the visibility it needs to run campaigns with confidence.
Centralised POS Storage: 5,400 m² Built for Advertising Materials
Our warehouse in Bonson, in the Alpes-Maritimes region of southern France, provides 5,400 m² of dedicated storage for advertising and promotional materials. This is not a shared general-purpose facility. It is a purpose-configured environment designed around the specific constraints of POS logistics:
- Controlled storage zones for fragile display units, printed materials, and branded merchandise
- SKU-level inventory management with real-time stock visibility through our client portal
- 25-tonne daily dispatch capacity to support large-scale campaign rollouts without bottlenecks
- Dedicated client zones ensuring your materials are never mixed with another brand’s assets
- Inbound quality control on every delivery — damaged or non-conforming items are flagged before they enter stock
Whether you are storing a permanent range of in-store materials for ongoing replenishment or building stock ahead of a seasonal campaign launch, our facility scales to your volume. Brands managing 50 SKUs and brands managing 500 SKUs operate from the same platform with the same service level.
Centralising your POS stock with ADL eliminates the fragmented storage arrangements — agency warehouses, print supplier back-rooms, regional depots — that slow down deployment and create version-control nightmares. One location. One inventory. Full control.
Kitting and Co-Packing: Campaign-Ready from Day One
Receiving materials at store level is only half the challenge. The other half is ensuring that every delivery contains exactly the right combination of items, correctly assembled, correctly labelled, and ready for immediate installation. This is where kitting and co-packing become critical.
ADL’s kitting team handles the full range of POS assembly operations:
- Campaign kit assembly — combining multiple SKUs (displays, leaflets, stickers, branded items) into a single shipment per point of sale
- Store-specific customisation — adapting kit contents based on store format, surface area, or regional requirements
- Co-packing and repackaging — consolidating materials from multiple suppliers into a single branded dispatch unit
- Labelling and documentation — including store reference numbers, installation instructions, and compliance documents
- Quality check at packing stage — every kit is verified against the campaign brief before it leaves the warehouse
For agencies managing multi-brand campaigns or brands running simultaneous activations across different retail networks, our kitting capability removes the most error-prone step in the entire supply chain. Your stores receive what they need, in the format they need it, without your team having to manage the assembly process.
Our co-packing service also supports product launch logistics, where POS materials must be synchronised with product deliveries to ensure a coordinated in-store execution. We coordinate with your supply chain team and your retail partners to align timelines and avoid the common failure mode of displays arriving before — or after — the product they are promoting.
Multi-Site Dispatch Across Europe: 500+ Delivery Points Per Campaign
Scale is where many logistics providers struggle with POS campaigns. Sending 10 pallets to a central distribution hub is straightforward. Sending 500 individual kits to 500 different stores, each with its own delivery window, access constraints, and contact requirements, is an entirely different operation.
ADL is built for exactly this. Our multi-site dispatch capability supports campaigns with 500+ delivery points, across retail networks, franchise chains, shopping centres, and event venues throughout Europe and beyond.
Key capabilities include:
- 48 to 72-hour delivery to major European markets from our Bonson facility
- 40+ countries covered through our carrier network, including cross-border customs management
- Store-level delivery scheduling aligned with receiving hours and campaign go-live dates
- Carrier selection optimised by destination — we do not apply a one-size-fits-all carrier model
- Proof of delivery management with photographic confirmation available on request
For franchise networks and retail chains, we offer dedicated franchise logistics programmes that standardise the dispatch process across all network members while accommodating local variations. Learn more about our approach on our franchise logistics service page.
For brands running event-based activations alongside their retail campaigns, our event logistics service provides the same speed and precision for temporary installations, trade shows, and pop-up environments.

Real-Time Tracking: Visibility Across Every Shipment
One of the most consistent pain points reported by marketing teams managing POS campaigns is the absence of reliable tracking. Materials leave the warehouse and then disappear into a black box until a store manager calls to say nothing has arrived — two days after the campaign was supposed to launch.
ADL eliminates this problem through a real-time tracking infrastructure that gives you and your team live visibility at every stage:
- Client portal access — log in at any time to view stock levels, outbound shipments, and delivery status
- Shipment-level tracking — individual tracking references for every dispatch, accessible by your team and your retail partners
- Automated status alerts — configurable notifications for dispatch confirmation, out-for-delivery status, and delivery confirmation
- Exception management — our operations team proactively identifies and resolves delivery exceptions before they become campaign failures
- Campaign reporting — post-campaign delivery reports with full data on delivery rates, timelines, and any incidents
For agencies managing campaigns on behalf of multiple brand clients, our portal supports multi-client access with appropriate data segregation. Your account manager at ADL is also available throughout the campaign period — not just during business hours, but whenever your campaign demands it.
Who Works with ADL
Our client base spans the full spectrum of organisations that deploy POS materials at scale:

We have managed campaigns for fast-moving consumer goods brands, luxury retail, automotive, banking, and foodservice — sectors where the stakes of a logistics failure are high and the tolerance for error is low.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of POS materials does ADL handle?
ADL handles the full range of point-of-sale and advertising materials, including floor displays, shelf units, wobblers, posters, banners, branded fixtures, promotional kits, goodies, and co-packed campaign boxes. If it is used in a retail or promotional environment, we have almost certainly stored and shipped it. Our inbound quality control process ensures that fragile or high-value items are handled appropriately from the moment they arrive at our facility.
How quickly can ADL dispatch materials after receiving a campaign order?
For campaigns where stock is already held in our warehouse, we can begin dispatch within 24 hours of receiving a confirmed order. Standard delivery lead times to major European markets are 48 to 72 hours. For urgent campaign launches, we work with our carrier partners to identify expedited options. We recommend discussing your campaign calendar with your ADL account manager in advance to ensure capacity is reserved and timelines are confirmed.
Can ADL manage store-specific kitting for large retail networks?
Yes. Store-specific kitting is one of our core capabilities. We can configure individual kits based on store format, region, planogram requirements, or any other variable your campaign requires. Our kitting team works from a brief provided by your marketing or trade marketing team, and every kit is quality-checked before dispatch. For networks with hundreds of stores, we recommend a pre-campaign briefing session to align on kit specifications and exception handling procedures.
Does ADL provide logistics services outside France and Europe?
ADL covers 40+ countries through its carrier network. While our primary operational hub is in Bonson, France, we manage international shipments including customs documentation, export compliance, and last-mile delivery coordination in destination markets. For campaigns with significant volume in specific non-European markets, we can discuss dedicated routing solutions with your team.
How does ADL’s client portal work for tracking and inventory management?
Our client portal provides real-time access to stock levels, inbound and outbound shipment status, and delivery confirmations. You can generate campaign reports, download proof-of-delivery documentation, and configure automated alerts for key shipment milestones. Access is role-based, meaning you can grant your agency, your retail partners, or your regional teams the level of visibility appropriate to their role without exposing sensitive campaign data across the board.

The fastest way to get a quote is to use our free quote request form.
