Frequently asked questions about e-commerce warehousing

What is warehousing?

Warehousing is the storage of inventory for extended periods. Facilities can range from large warehouses equipped with forklifts, containers, shelves and docks to smaller spaces for excess product storage. Warehouse management systems help manage operations, although services typically focus on storage and organisation rather than additional logistics like order fulfilment.

What types of warehouses are there?

There are several types of warehouse, including bonded warehouses for cross-border trade, smart warehouses integrated with AI and robotics for efficient inventory management, fulfilment centres focusing on quick turnover for customer orders and consolidated warehouses for bulking together orders or sources. Each type caters to specific logistics and supply chain needs.

How is warehousing evolving with technology?

The future of warehousing is being shaped by advancements in automation, robotics, AI, and the Internet of Things (IoT). These technologies enhance efficiency, improve safety and enable real-time monitoring and decision-making. Sustainable practices and e-commerce integration are also pivotal, driving the adoption of environmentally friendly designs and adapting to the fast-paced demands of online retail.

How are warehouse services priced?

Warehousing rates are typically based on the product's warehouse footprint, the speed of product movement and any special handling or shipping requirements. Prices are structured to be competitive, with short-term storage considered for less than a month and long-term for a month or more. Warehouse management systems (WMS) allow customers to monitor inventory in real-time.
