Key processes involved in warehousing

Receiving

This process requires the warehouse to verify that the correct type of product has been received.

Additionally, the warehouse also needs to confirm that the items have arrived punctually and in the right quantity and condition.

Put-away

Put-away refers to the moving of goods into the warehouse’s storage. When done correctly, this process can help to increase warehousing efficiency.

Picking

Picking involves the finding and extraction of products in a warehouse to fulfill an order.

Packing

Packing is the consolidation of items in a sales order. It is essential that the goods are properly packed and labelled before they get shipped out. This can increase efficiency when trying to locate a lost order.

Shipping

Shipping is only considered successful when the item has been dispatched to the right customer and arrives safely and punctually.

Advantages of warehousing

Goods kept at the warehouse are typically insured at the risk of the warehousing company. This helps to minimise your business risk by transferring the risk of damage or loss to the warehouse owner.

Warehouses usually utilise the latest equipment and technology to help minimise your losses caused by damages or a deterioration in the quality of goods.

Using a warehouse for storage ensures that there is a regular supply of goods available to meet the demand of consumers. Maintaining a constant stock level can prevent price fluctuation in the market.

Warehousing services can lead to the better management and tracking of your inventory. This helps to streamline your business processes and increase productivity.

Some products are only produced during certain periods but are consumed throughout the year. Using a warehouse for storage ensures that there is a consistent supply of such goods.
