What is Warehousing?
Warehousing is the process of storing physical goods before they are sold or further distributed in a dedicated warehouse or storage facility. Therefore, warehousing is a vital part of your supply chain.
​
Business owners may do warehousing inventory from home for small or new businesses until they outgrow the space. Then, as business and demand grow, they will have to lease the warehouse space or outsource logistics to a third party and store inventory in their warehousing facilities.
​
In e-commerce, products are stored until an order is placed online. At this point, the order is shipped directly to the consumer from the warehouse and distribution center. In traditional retail, companies may temporarily store inventory in a warehouse before it's shipped to a brick and mortar store.
Inventory Control
Businesses can use warehousing services to control inventory and inventory management, giving your business a competitive advantage. Companies and retailers utilize warehouse counts to analyze the demand and the delivery of goods to consumers or retail locations. Inventory information gives a business a clear view of what products are moving and which are not. Inventory control allows you to adjust your ordering to ensure you have enough supply for the demand without overstocking inventory that is not moving. Inventory control also makes it easy for companies to eliminate and reduce receiving errors. Errors in stock based on lack of management can lead to wasted money and frustrated consumers who cannot acquire the goods they desire.
​

Contract Warehousing
Contract warehousing is a service given to companies desiring to establish distribution centers in certain regions. Contract warehousing is popular with startups and businesses experiencing fast growth. It may also be required in areas where real estate is at a premium and storage can not be kept on-site in a cost-effective manner. Whether due to space restrictions or the cost of real estate, companies may lack the financial resources to set up their own warehouses. Building a warehouse from the ground up takes time and resources, which business owners could use to build your business. Companies must reach their consumers as fast as possible in today's competitive business environment before competitors infiltrate the same niche.
Cross-docking
Cross-docking allows clients to route products from one or multiple manufacturing sites to a strategically located distribution center. When goods arrive from manufacturing centers, they are loaded into various shipments and delivered to consumers or retail outlets.
Final Mile Transport
Ultimate Logistics also offers a wide variety of shipping services. Ultimate Logistics has you covered whether you need products delivered from the warehouse to a retail location or sent the final mile to the consumer within the Northeast, Midwest, and Mid-Atlantic regions. The combination of warehousing and shipping within a geographic area can differentiate the success and failure of any business.
​
Warehousing affects every business that sells products. Choosing the right warehousing solution can help save money, meet customer demand, and drive efficiencies. Working with a third-party logistics company is very common for e-commerce businesses that don't want to or can't afford to manage a warehouse themselves.
