Reducing inventory errors to improve the ecommerce customer experience
Selling in Switzerland with an ecommerce site that’s separate from logistics quickly leads to friction, inventory errors, and longer processing times. Emaloja addresses this need with a comprehensive solution for ecommerce website development, inventory management, warehousing, and shipping between Switzerland, France, and the European Union.
Emaloja combines online store creation and logistics operations into a single environment. The brand draws on the expertise of STAR Logistique, which has been in business since 1988, and on its ecommerce business, launched in 2009.
For companies seeking a service provider to set up an ecommerce site and manage their inventory in Switzerland, this approach reduces the need for coordination among multiple parties and simplifies order tracking.
An ecommerce solution designed for Switzerland, France, and Europe
Emaloja supports businesses that want to sell in Switzerland from Europe, or sell from Switzerland to other countries. The solution covers both the digital and physical supply chains, with a single point of contact for the website, inventory, order fulfillment, and delivery.
What the solution includes
- Ecommerce website and online store creation
- Integration with WMS, OMS, and TMS
- Real-time inventory management
- Warehouses in Switzerland, France, and Europe
- Domestic and international shipping
- Returns management
- Marketplace integration, including Galaxus
- Private intranet stores for exclusive sales
Why this approach transforms day-to-day operations
When the website, inventory, and shipping are managed separately, inventory discrepancies and processing delays increase. With emaloja, an order confirmed on the website triggers logistics processing in the WMS, followed by an inventory update on the store.
This approach is ideal for brands that need to manage B2C sales, B2B workflows, or one-time operations such as private sales in Switzerland with inventory management.

Emaloja designs ecommerce websites tailored to the business, the size of the product catalog, and the desired management approach. The choice of CMS depends on the level of customization required, the need for simple administration, and integration with logistics tools.

Inventory, management, warehouse, and shipping
Inventory issues can quickly become costly during peak demand periods, exclusive sales campaigns, and product launches. Emaloja connects the online store to the logistics system to maintain accurate tracking of inventory levels and minimize picking errors.
How WMS-to-Storefront Works
- The customer confirms their order on the website.
- The WMS receives the order and initiates processing.
- Inventory is updated in real time on the storefront.
- Picking, packing, and shipping are triggered.
- Shipping tracking information is sent to the customer.
A warehouse management system (WMS) is software that helps track inventory, prepare orders, and manage physical movements. At emaloja, it is integrated with the OMS and TMS to ensure a seamless processing chain.
Logistics Capabilities
- Warehousing in Switzerland, France, and Europe
- Order fulfillment
- Returns management
- Cross-docking
- Real-time inventory tracking
- Domestic and international delivery
Delivery and coverage
Emaloja serves Switzerland, France, and Europe, and ships to other markets on a project-by-project basis. Shipments can be arranged from warehouses located near customer locations to reduce processing times.
Private sales, intranet, and inventory management
Private sales in Switzerland require precise management of volumes, reservations, and stock outflows. Emaloja offers private intranet stores for this type of operation.
Use Cases
- Time-limited private sales
- Restricted access to a customer network
- Inventory allocation by event
- Real-time quantity updates
- Shipping from a Swiss warehouse
Operational Benefits
An intranet store prevents discrepancies between displayed quantities and available inventory. It also helps manage B2B campaigns, reseller-only promotions, or confidential product launches.
Payment, compliance, and integrations
An ecommerce site targeting Switzerland must incorporate local practices from the start. Emaloja handles payments, compliance, and connections to business tools.
Key Features
- PayPal payments
- Stripe payments
- Twint payments for Switzerland
- GDPR compliance
- Swiss LDP compliance
- ERP integration
- Marketplace connections
- Multilingual support
Marketplace and Channel Integrations
Emaloja integrates with major sales platforms and can connect the store to channels such as Galaxus. This helps brands manage sales from a central location instead of juggling multiple interfaces.
Comparing emaloja to a standalone logistics provider
Companies like 7Days and e-LOGIK focus on ecommerce logistics, including transportation, warehousing, order fulfillment, and returns management. Emaloja adds ecommerce website development, CMS integrations, and a direct connection to the logistics system.
What a single partner changes
- Fewer interfaces to synchronize
- Fewer errors between the website and the warehouse
- A single point of contact for launch and operations
- Real-time inventory updates
- Better management of private sales and order spikes
Typical scenario
A company using Shopify with a separate 3PL must connect the store, the OMS, the warehouse, and the carrier. With emaloja, the structure is designed so that the website and logistics work together from the start.
Maintenance, security, and self-management
After launch, the website must remain stable and easy to manage. Emaloja provides maintenance, security, and training so that teams can add products, track orders, and update content.
What’s Included
- Regular updates
- Website security
- Performance checks
- Team training
