Warehousing can be one of the most beneficial things that you do for your company. A lot of companies are still struggling with how best to manage all of that inventory. About half of them are learning that freeing up some real estate space is not as easy as it sounds. The most obvious solution is a solid warehousing system. It can be more cost-effective than most might believe, and on top of that, it can improve your overall shipping process.
When companies are shipping goods from one warehouse to the next, the chances of damaged goods go up drastically. The process usually involves the shipment of goods from the company to a distribution center to await delivery. That is a lot of moving around, not to mention that goods may sit in a distribution center for days before being shipped. All this does is increase the odds of damaged or lost goods.
