The homeware market covers an exceptionally broad range of products: from small screws to heavy building materials, and from garden accessories to large outdoor furniture. That calls for processes that handle varying sizes, weights and seasonal peaks with ease. With fulfilment and warehouse management software, Monta supports homeware brands at every step of their logistics operation.
Whether you choose to outsource your e-commerce logistics with fulfilment, or handle order processing yourself from your own warehouse with our warehouse management system (WMS): our services get every job done!

Fulfilment for homeware products and accessories
Homeware products vary enormously in size, weight and fragility. Monta stores everything from small decorative accessories to large furniture within the same network, with storage strategies tailored to the product. Fragile items are packaged with extra care, and wooden furniture is kept in an environment with stable temperature and humidity. That way, every product arrives in perfect condition, however large or fragile it is.
Storage for every size: Monta handles homeware products of all sizes, from small kitchen accessories to large sofas and cabinets.
Climate-conscious storage: Wooden furniture and moisture-sensitive items are kept in conditions that prevent quality loss from damp or temperature fluctuations.
Careful packaging: Fragile and delicate items are packed with extra care to prevent transport damage.
Tailored to the product: Packaging and storage are matched to the specific characteristics of your range, not the other way around.
Scalable network: With more than 20 warehouses in the Netherlands, France, Germany and the United Kingdom, Monta scales alongside the growth of your range.
Efficient returns management and real-time stock insight for homeware
Returns that won't disrupt your stock
Homeware products see a higher return rate than many other categories, particularly for larger purchases such as furniture, where customers want to assess items at home. Monta's RMA module integrates seamlessly into your workflow and processes returns quickly, with real-time insight into returned stock so you always know what's on hand and what's fit for resale. The Smart Stock module flags slow-moving items, so you can adjust pricing or purchasing decisions before stock piles up.
RMA module: Returns are processed quickly and systematically, with seamless integration into your existing workflow.
Real-time returns insight: Through MontaPortal, you can see straight away which items have been returned and their status and resale value.
Quality control on returns: Returned items are checked before being added back into stock.
Smart Stock alerts: Slow-moving or obsolete items are flagged so you can manage stock levels proactively.
Stock insight per channel: Whether you sell through your own online shop, bol.com or another marketplace, you always see up-to-date stock levels per channel.
