French term or phrase: mise à disposition des marchandises
Extract:
Dans le cadre d’opérations commerciales liées à des événements datés (Fête des Mères, Noël,…), il est possible de suivre très précisément une commande tout au long de son processus afin de s’assurer que la marchandise soit présente dans les magasins pour le début de l’événement.
Pour y parvenir, vous pouvez mettre en place un suivi de jalons retraçant toutes les étapes qui jalonnent la vie d’une commande client, du fournisseur jusqu’à la mise à disposition en magasin. Un certain nombre d’indicateurs précisent l’état d’avancement : des jalons d’alerte.

Can somebody of you help me? I thought about translating it by "delivery of goods" but I think the meaning is ambiguous...

English translation:(until) the goods are/have been made available in the stores
Explanation:
I think something quite close to the original coudl work well here.

Stick to "make available" or push a little further with "put on display" as goods are not available to customers until they have been put out onto the shelves/display units...

through warehouse availability


Explanation:
Could also be "through in-store availability"
goods delivered in not specific enough, the goods can be available to the purchaser in his/her warehouse or it could mean that the goods are available for purchase by the public "on the floor"

order tracking


Explanation:
I'm not sure what your question is.
Are you looking for 'order tracking' ('suivi des commandes?') or 'goods delivery'?
