Storage of goods and warehousing are pivotal components in the supply chain logistics
across the globe. The biggest advantage of warehousing is the 24 x 7 secured storage
they offer in addition to allocating a convenient storage space for your goods. This will
streamline the process of planning and organizing your logistics.
In this blog,we will take you in detail on how warehouses play an important role in the
logistics system as well as how warehousing will help you benefit your business when
shipping goods all over the globe.
At Logistica, we have warehouses with modern facilities that help to store your goods
safely and sound thereby making sure your goods make it to their destination effectively,
efficiently and at an affordable price.
The most important components in logistics and supply chain processes are proper
warehousing and storage. They are mainly used by customs, manufacturers,
import/export companies, wholesalers as well as transporters to make sure the storage
as well as distribution of raw materials and end products are done in a proper manner.
The key lies in choosing the right logistics and warehousing provider for your activities
in order to get the most advantage of it.
The benefit of using a warehouse to safely and securely store your goods will ensure
that you have one central location from where everything can be accessed in the cases
when a company has more inventory.This will enable you to have a better physical
storage for organizing your stock as well as a stringent inventory control.
Majority of the warehouses in today’s market are equipped with the latest technology
called Warehouse Management Systems or in short form WMS. This will help you fetch
real time data accurately on how much stock you hold and the items required to be
restocked.
The greatest advantage of storing all finished goods in one location is that it enables
you to have proper and accurate inventory control and at the same time offers more
seamless delivery to customers. This will help to enhance your client satisfaction by
making sure the customers are receiving their order correctly and on time.
This will help you not to worry too much on stock management and supply chain
aspects and fully concentrate on your business. The next best thing is that most of
these warehouses are found to have a strong network with distribution business.
Another advantage of having warehousing is that the majority of them have the
capability to supply the packaging and labeling items that are required to ensure your
goods arrive at the destination safely. Some logistics companies provide documentation
services which will make your life even easier by taking all the responsibilities of
handling legal shipping documents.
If you choose to rent a personal warehouse space to store all your goods, it’s going to
be very expensive. The cost would even rise if you employ a staff to take care of the
logistics and warehouse management. Hence, the most affordable way is to use the
service of a warehousing company who provides all the store keeping and logistics
services.
Logistics companies who offer warehousing facilities will usually be equipped with
specialized tools and machineries, safe and secure spaces and even offer temperature
controlled spaces for goods that require cold storage.
Some logistics companies own customs non-excise bonded warehouses meaning they
store your imported goods with having to pay the import taxes and duty immediately
thereby providing advantage to your cashflow until your goods are required to be moved
from those warehouses.
As we mentioned earlier, some dedicated warehouses are equipped with the most
modern security systems to make sure your goods are safe all the time. Those
warehouses are equipped with:
● CCTV installed both inside and outside
● Smoke and Fire alarms and preventive mechanisms
● 24 x 7 monitoring of alarm systems
● Strict access control to prohibit unauthorized entry
All these facilities will ensure that your goods are in safe space till they are ready to be
transported to the destination.
What Are The Different Types Of Warehousing Options Available?
Depending on the services provided, warehouses are classified as:
In distribution centers as the name suggests, the goods come and go at a faster pace,
mostly less than 24 hours to their destination. For Rg. while transporting perishable
goods, they come to the center and get ready for shipment within a few hours.
Bonded warehouses otherwise called customs warehouses store goods for which duty
has to be paid and the payments delayed. Once the payment is done,the goods will be
released. The best part of these warehouses are the goods can be kept for an indefinite
period which will help businesses manage their cash flow much better without any
stress to pay the duty.
When a number of parties ship tiny batches of goods to a particular location, they can
be consolidated into large shipments for transportation. Such warehouses offering this
facility are called consolidated warehouses
