Inbound logistics at Lidl receives goods from international suppliers, repallets them and supplies the outbound warehouses across national borders. The warehouses are located at strategically important logistics hubs such as ports or motorway junctions. The main function of the inbound warehouse is to handle the cross-dock business, so as part of the supply chain they ensure the availability and freshness of the goods.

Outbound logistic is supplied by inbound logistic. The delivered goods are palletized according to the needs of the stores and then made available for delivery. Outbound logistic thus represents the hub of all logistical processes, from the storage of the goods by the regional company, through delivery to the stores, to the return of various resources back to the warehouse.

From our online warehouses, we deliver the ordered products directly to our customers' homes. Therefore, punctual delivery to our international customers is our top priority. We are currently working at eight warehouse locations across Europe, including in Germany, the Czech Republic and the Netherlands. In order to do justice to the growing market of online trading, we are already planning the next locations in Germany and abroad.
