Warehouse

A warehouse is a company’s lifeline, its supply centre and where goods are moved. It’s a big job, a job that probably isn’t appreciated by most – except those who do it. The importance of warehousing in every supply chain system is key. From raw material tracking, finished goods, secured storage, inventory management to distribution and customer service, the place of warehousing in the supply chain of product and service-based firms is unquestionably important.

The warehousing process creates time utility by bridging the gap between production and consumption time period. Apart from using the warehouse as the place of storage, it is also for packaging and grading of products. Warehouses reduce the fluctuations in the price of the product by holding it when its supply exceeds the market and by releasing it when its demand is more than its regular supply. Warehouse labor deserves red carpet treatment; in fact, the cost of labor constitutes about 65 percent of most warehouse facilities' operating budgets. Market or customer demand notwithstanding, warehouse quality and efficiency cannot be at their peak without great workers. Our labor solutions is a critical resource in warehouses.
