In shortA brief explanation of the service and what it covers.

What is warehousing?

The short answer

Warehouse and fulfillment sourcing selects a facility or 3PL based on your order profile and the outbound shipping cost each location produces. Parcel cost depends on zone distance from your customers, so a location chosen on storage and handling rates alone often costs more in outbound freight than it saves on the warehouse.

Warehouse and fulfillment partner sourcing, evaluated against your order profile and outbound shipping economics.

The problemThe terms and billing details we review before estimating savings.

Warehouse location affects your shipping costs.

Warehouse proposals include storage, pick-and-pack, receiving and minimum fees. These are important, but they are only part of the total cost.

The location also determines shipping distance to your customers. Lower warehouse fees can be outweighed by higher parcel charges from a more distant facility.

Location affects transit times too. We compare warehouse and shipping costs alongside the services needed to meet your delivery promises.

Common questionsContact us if your question is not listed. We can help you assess whether the service fits your needs.

Questions shippers ask first.

How do we choose between a 3PL and our own warehouse?
The decision depends on volume stability, order complexity and available capital. A 3PL can provide flexible capacity, while an in-house operation may make sense at steady volume. We compare costs, service requirements and responsibilities.
Does warehouse location really change our shipping cost that much?
Yes. Location affects shipping zones, transit times and outbound cost. We compare those effects with warehouse fees using your customer destinations.
Do we need more than one distribution location?
A second location can reduce shipping distance but adds inventory and overhead. We calculate both sides using order destinations and current rates before recommending a change.
Do you take fees from the warehouses you recommend?
No. We receive no referral fees, commissions or placement payments from warehouse providers.
