We make finding
warehouse space look easy
Today’s market makes storage space hard to come by—and managing a network of third-party warehouses is exceptionally complicated. Finding quality warehouses in efficient locations, as well as maintaining those third-party logistics (3PL) relationships, requires a team of experts who understand:
- Warehouse availability research and price negotiation
- Contract administration and negotiation
- Warehouse insurance evaluation
- Rate renewals and negotiations
- Material handling operations expertise
- Transportation network engineering
- Food-grade safety
Furthermore, many companies do not have in-house personnel, processes, systems, and tools to manage these areas efficiently. For instance, they rely on logistics managers who often lack a network of 3PL providers outside of their day-to-day suppliers. Likewise, they spend much of their time reacting to fluctuating inventory levels and finding space in sometimes unfamiliar geographies. However, this ad-hoc 3PL logistics management approach leads to utilizing warehouses in inefficient locations, increased transportation costs, and wasted time in contract negotiations.
