We provide receiving, storage, arrangement, packing, measurement and weighing through our warehouses in several countries in the world. A warehouse is a commercial building, specifically used for goods storage. Warehousing is, therefore, the act of storing goods at a paid-for location, with the intent to sell or distribute them at a later date.

Small businesses don’t necessarily pay for warehousing services because the owners use space in their garages, basement or spare rooms in their homes for storage. Large businesses, on the other hand, rely on renting space in buildings to store their goods.

Why Warehousing Is Important ?

An IBISWorld UK Market Research Report in 2017 revealed that the popularity of online shopping has supported the demand for warehousing, boosting revenue for the warehousing and storage industry. Experts estimate a strong compound annual growth rate of 11.3% over the next 5 years, through 2017-2018, ultimately making it a £21.3 billion industry. Supply chains have become increasingly complex and consumers are forging new demands.

Warehousing has 7 key benefits :

1. Opportunity to expand
   Finding enough storage in your manufacturing facility can stifle productivity especially when stored goods get in the way of work, reducing efficiency. Warehousing gets rid of manufactured products, creating enough space and a conducive environment to efficiently produce.
2. Production support
   Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Christmas holidays are the manufacturer’s biggest sales days annually. This means more sales, increased production and an immense need for production support. A warehouse ensures timely, consistent production support which can significantly reduce production lead times.
3. Product packing and processing
   An efficient warehouse also offers product picking, packing and shipping services.
4. Price control
   The market is all about supply and demand. To balance your books properly, a warehouse offers a business an opportunity to directly influence supply and demand. Goods are stored when supply exceeds demand and released once demand exceeds supply.
5. Reduced business risk
   Did you know that goods stored in a warehouse are insured against the warehouse owner’s risk ? This means you don’t have to worry about inventory loss by fire, theft, or damage. You will be compensated anyway.
6. Spot stocking
   Certain holiday-specific products such as Halloween, Easter, and Christmas-themed goods are seasonal, yet, a manufacturer ought to produce in large quantities to meet the demand when the time comes. Spot stocking is important for such businesses, offering simultaneous access to warehouses in different locations, close to target markets, reducing transport time and meeting customer needs everywhere within a short period. It is also a great option for agricultural products.
