The Benefits of External Warehousing

The storage, management, and shipping of inventory and goods can be a significant drain of a company’s time, money, and employees. And expansion efforts can be complicated or halted when a company purchases a warehouse that is not suitable for the items being stored or a warehouse whose location complicates supply and distribution operations. Lastly, the training and safety of the staff that maintains the warehouse increases a company’s costs even further. One solution is public warehousing services which take responsibility for the company’s storage and shipment of inventory and goods. OctoChem is a North American warehousing service that can dramatically decrease the time, costs, and frustrations associated with inventory management and distribution.

The Cost and Effort Associated with Warehousing

There is far more to a warehouse than treating it as a simple storage bin for items. Different industries have their own unique inventories and products, each with their own storage requirements, regulations, and maintenance. Warehouses need inventory management so companies can quickly and efficiently store, retrieve, and ship their parts and products. Keeping inventory and goods monitored and in good condition requires a trained, professional staff, as well as strict safety measures to protect both the warehouse staff and the end clients.

Benefits of Hiring an External Warehousing Company

Hiring a public warehousing service allows the client to reallocate time, money, and resources to other vital company tasks such as marketing or research and development. Many warehousing companies provide comprehensive third-party logistics services, including product assembly and directly shipping to end-clients. Public warehousing services can also assist in keeping market prices steady by storing excess inventory and releasing it when demand spikes. Clients can borrow against the security of the goods stored in the external warehouses, freeing up even more money for the client to use for other corporate tasks. Hiring a public warehousing service is frequently cheaper for a company than buying their warehouses, maintaining their new warehouses, and the hiring, training, and equipping of staff to operate the new warehouses. Finally, warehousing companies that specialize in a specific industry can optimize their locations, supply lines, and operating schedules to minimize costs and shipping times; this is most common for industries with seasonal restrictions or perishable goods.
