A warehouse in Sendocki is a physical storage location. For most Moroccan beginner stores, a single warehouse is enough (your main location). But as soon as you grow with several cities, logistics partners or drop-shipping, managing several warehouses becomes essential.
No need for complicated warehouses to start — Sendocki automatically creates a default warehouse on first setup. You adjust it when your business demands.
List of warehouses in Sendocki

​
When to create multiple warehouses?

You have multiple physical locations

Stock in Casablanca + stock in Marrakech. You want to know from where to prepare each order based on customer proximity.

You do partial drop-shipping

Your products A are at your place, your products B at a partner supplier who ships directly. 2 logical warehouses.

You're testing a new depot

Before migrating all your stock, you want to track the stock of a new depot in parallel to compare.

You manage after-sales / returns

A “Returns” warehouse for returned stock awaiting verification (separated from sellable stock).

​
If you only have one warehouse

No worries. The default warehouse created by Sendocki is enough. You manage all your stock in it. Don’t create a second warehouse “for nothing” — it complicates without added value.

​
Create a warehouse

1

Go to Products → Warehouses

“Warehouses” tab
2

Click 'Add a warehouse'

Button at the top right
Add warehouse button
3

Fill in the information

  • Name: clear and descriptive (“Casa Center Warehouse”, “Marrakech Depot”, “Drop-shipping Supplier X”)
  • Address: physical address (useful for carriers doing pickup)
  • City: for geographic steering
  • Description (optional): internal notes (manager, hours, etc.)
  • Status: active (usable) / inactive (kept for history)
4

Save

The warehouse is created and appears in the list. You can now assign stock to it.

​
Assign stock to a warehouse

Once the warehouse is created, you assign stock to it from:
  • The product card → Inventory tab → choose warehouse + quantity
  • The global Inventory tab → add a stock line for a product in this warehouse
→ See Inventory for the detailed workflow.

​
Modify a warehouse

From the warehouse list, click on a line to open its card:

Rename / change address

If you move or reorganize

Activate / deactivate

Deactivate = the warehouse no longer appears in stock selections for new orders. Existing stock remains consultable.

List of products that have stock in this warehouse + quantities

See stock movements

History: entries, exits, manual adjustments

​
Deactivate vs delete a warehouse

The warehouse remains in the list (grayed out) but is no longer selectable for new orders. Existing stock is not lost, just “frozen”.Useful for: temporary pause, supplier change, audit.
The warehouse is definitively removed. The stock that was in it is automatically transferred to another warehouse (you choose which during deletion).Use only if you’re sure you’ll never use this warehouse again (permanent closure, partner change).

​
Choose the warehouse for an order

When an order arrives with a product that has stock in multiple warehouses, Sendocki offers you to choose:
  • Manually: your team selects case by case (consistent if you’re not in automatic)
  • Auto by default (to be defined): Sendocki chooses by a criterion (geographic proximity, FIFO, etc.)

​
Typical use cases in Morocco

1 warehouse “My location” created by default. That’s all. Don’t complicate.
2 warehouses:
  • “Casa Warehouse”
  • “Rabat Warehouse”
Stock distributed according to rotations. Order preparation from the warehouse closest to the customer (in Casablanca = Casa, in Rabat-Salé-Kénitra = Rabat). Reduction of carrier costs.
Configuration:
  • “Main warehouse”: your products managed internally
  • “Drop Supplier A”: products shipped directly by supplier A
  • “Drop Supplier B”: same supplier B
Each product is attached to the right warehouse. When an order arrives, you know who ships.
Advanced setup:
  • “Sellable stock”: clean products ready to sell
  • “Returns to verify stock”: returned parcels awaiting quality control
Workflow: return received → added to “Returns to verify stock” → control → if OK: transfer to “Sellable stock”, if KO: exit for losses.

​
Best practices

  • ✅ Start simple: 1 warehouse is enough for 90% of beginner merchants
  • ✅ Name clearly: “Casa Center Bd Anfa” rather than “Warehouse 1”
  • ✅ Enter the address: useful for carriers doing home pickup
  • ✅ Deactivate rather than delete: an inactive warehouse keeps history, you can reactivate it
  • ❌ Don’t create a warehouse per shelf or per category: it’s over-organized. Warehouse = distinct physical location, not a logical sub-division
