Warehousing

If you’re not restricted by the need to store all materials, components and finished products at your manufacturing facility, you’re able to focus on your core business: producing your products.

The good thing about warehousing is that you are more in control of your shipping and handling.

Warehousing operations such as consolidation and assembly add value to the logistics of the business.

Today’s warehouses and distribution centers do a lot more than simply store your products. A good warehouse will provide picking, packing and shipping services as well as inventory management.

Using a warehouse management system will also provide visibility of accurate, real-time inventory levels.

Consolidating operations, for instance, cut costs for outbound delivery, which works well for both business owners and their customers.

 Most warehouses provide processing, packing, and blending, and grading facilities, meaning, small business owners can save more by not having to pay third parties in the order fulfilment process.

Warehouse management can help companies maximize profitability and alleviate error. Then there’s the additional benefits offered by bonding warehouses – facilities that are licensed by the government to accept imported goods for storage until customs duty can be paid.

These picking efficiency options provide faster customer order cycle time and thus improve customer relations.

As inventory is scheduled for arrival, the exact date and time can be optimized, considering available labor and equipment for storage tasks.

This simplifies processes which increases the ability to scale and ensures information accuracy.
