Yes, of course!
The strength of our solution lies in its adaptability and the diversity of offers we provide.
For instance, we offer a Startup package tailored to the needs of e-commerce and startup companies:
Plug and Play: easy flow management through a powerful and user-friendly tool. Pricing is scalable based on volumes, with no minimum volume required. We easily adapt to your needs and requirements. Fixed costs and startup fees have been minimized.
Yes, all standard operations are included (reception, order preparation, provision of packaging materials, return management)!
However, if you require services beyond the usual scope, additional charges (as indicated in the offer) will apply. This might be the case if, for example:
- You require special customization during product packaging.
- You ship fragile products requiring additional handling before dispatch.
- You experience a return rate higher than that covered in your package.

The services between a Start-Up package and an Advanced package are identical. However, the billing method differs.
Logistics providers typically bill based on the unit of work directly linked to their mode of operation. This means that the invoice will depend on the type of receipt, packaging used, size of the ordered products, number of different products, product weight, etc. This is what we call the ‘Advanced’ package. With this type of package, you need to have a very precise idea of your activity to be able to assess in advance what your logistics will cost.
However, startups often lack precise data about their activity. That’s why we’ve decided to offer a flat-rate package called ‘Start-Up’ with 4 very simple costs: one cost per order, one cost per item, one cost per storage location, and one cost for the transport used. This allows for a clear and simplified projection of logistics costs.
With Futurlog, you finally have a solution that supports you in your evolutions and growth!
Whether you’re launching a new product line, opening new sales channels, or expanding internationally, you can rely on our experts to advise you through this transition and implement new solutions.
We understand that a company’s strength lies in its ability to evolve and adapt to its market, which is why our solution is omnichannel, scalable, and tailored to be a growth lever rather than a hindrance to your development!
For example, if you were initially on a Start-Up package because you were just starting out and now you want to develop B2B, we can easily transition you to the Advanced category to benefit from costs adapted to the evolution of your business.
