By Rosella Campbell


The products you are fabricating or processing must be the best or you would not be producing them. You want to extend this quality of workmanship to your customers with the delivery practices, however, there is a matter of personnel trained and equipment needed to see this happens, A warehousing and logistics firm is the best choice for this important part of the customer service cycle and they stand ready to assist you in this endeavor.

You will not need to have a larger than necessary warehouse. A space to store the raw material or ingredients to your products is all that is necessary. The largest need for a warehouse is to store products on their way to your customers and they should not stay there very long either. That larger warehouse, of course will be at the storage firm you deal with.

A very good thing about this type of company. They are where they need to be and when they are not needed, you do not see them. They are one of the many unseen hands you need to make your business operate and grow. They move things out and, in some cases, move thing in and otherwise you have better things to do.

Your special needs can be handled in any number of specific ways. You can schedule this firm to arrive on specific days, at designated hours or a certain day of the week. This flexible scheduling capability will allow you to offer a service that many of your local clients may want. That service is known as just in time delivery.

This firm can also handle incoming freight for you. They can be your trucking fleet as far as picking up raw material at the vendors location or, for larger concerns, at the port or the airfield. This will allow you to concentrate on the manufacturing and the processing that makes your products what they are. They want to make it easier for you to do your job so they have more things to store and deliver for you.

The dedicated storage space they have and the internal systems in place will assist in making it easier to use these carriers and storage experts. They will have spaces assigned strictly to your goods. They will accept loads from a few packages to an entire load of material placed on pallets or in drums. Many will tell you that size does not matter.

These companies know, from past experiences, that internal systems are their best bet to keep everything clear as to what needs to be done and when. They will have print outs about this information and contact you for prearranged schedules for confirmation. They will work with you getting the finished goods to your customers to meet any deadlines. These deadlines may be seasonal events, specific dates or as soon as possible after they have them.
