Warehousing as part of logistics
29, November 2024
Warehousing – storing goods before they are shipped to customers. Whether a small business or a large corporation, having the right warehousing solution can significantly improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance Customer satisfaction.
Warehouses are critical in managing the flow of goods. They help businesses to store inventory in a controlled environment, ensuring that products are safe and ready for distribution.
Besides that, not such an obvious function of warehouses is to sort products by category, size, and demand, making it easier for companies to fulfill orders quickly.

Besides that, not such an obvious function of warehouses is to sort products by category, size, and demand, making it easier for companies to fulfill orders quickly.
As a result, proper warehousing can reduce the time it takes to pick and pack orders, which speeds up the delivery process, which in its turn improves customer satisfaction.
In recent years, the global warehousing industry has seen significant growth. According to the Logistics Manager Index (LMI), warehouse space demand increased by 8.3% in 2023. This is due to the rise in online shopping and the need for faster deliveries.
The e-commerce sector alone accounts for a large share of the growth, as businesses require more storage for products to be shipped directly to customers.
In addition to online retail, industries like pharmaceuticals, food, and beverages also require specialized storage.
For example, the global cold storage market, which is a part of warehousing, is expected to grow at a rate of 12.6% annually from 2022 to 2030.
Warehouses are not only beneficial, they are strategic, and that is because location is one of the most critical factors in choosing a warehouse.
A strategically placed warehouse allows companies to reduce shipping times and costs. For example, a warehouse near a major highway or port can make it easier to transport goods quickly.
