Stock-Outs & Reorders

Find out what to do in case of stock-outs and how to request more powerbanks, cables or boxes.

Overview

As a Valora partner, Chimpy operates with a pull-based logistics system.


This means:
👉 You are responsible for triggering reorders and returns when needed.


By managing stock actively, you ensure that:

  • Powerbanks are always available for customers

  • Operations run smoothly

  • No unnecessary downtime occurs

Chimpy is a portable powerbank rental service that allows customers to charge their phone anytime while they are on the go. Customers can rent a powerbank at your store and return it later at any Chimpy partner location. This makes the service flexible and convenient, especially for people who are travelling, commuting, or spending time outside.

How Valora Logistics Work

Chimpy logistics for Valora follow a simple flow:


  • You receive boxes with charged powerbanks

  • You store returned powerbanks in empty boxes

  • You trigger returns and reorders when needed


👉 Nothing happens automatically — your action is required.

How to Monitor Your Stock

Regularly check your available powerbanks:


  • Count how many charged units are left

  • Watch for busy periods (rush hours, events, weekends)

  • Ensure you always have enough stock for daily operations


💡 Tip: Do not wait until you are completely out — act early.

What to Do in Case of Low Stock

If your stock is running low:

👉 Trigger a reorder as soon as possible


  • Request additional powerbanks or boxes

  • Plan ahead if higher demand is expected

What to Do in Case of Stock-Out

If you are completely out of powerbanks:


  1. Inform customers that the service is temporarily unavailable

  2. Contact Chimpy support immediately

  3. Request urgent restocking

⚠️ Important: Returned powerbanks must not be reused — they need to go through the logistics process.

Handling Return Boxes

Returned powerbanks must be prepared correctly for logistics.


When your box is full:


  • Fill the box with returned powerbanks

  • Close it securely

  • Seal it with the red plombe

  • Prepare it for return or pickup

Requesting Empty Boxes

If you do not have an empty box available and too many powerbanks:


  • Request an empty box


👉 Always ensure you can store returned powerbanks properly.

Expired or Defective Powerbanks

If you find:


  • Expired units

  • Damaged or defective powerbanks


👉 Do not use them
👉 Place them in the return box


They will be replaced through the logistics process.
