What does it mean?
The operational process of completing customer orders, from receiving the order through picking, packing and dispatch. Depending on the service agreement, it can also include inventory updates and returns handling.
In practice
A warehouse picks the purchased items, packs the order and hands it to the delivery carrier.
Before requesting a quote
A warehouse request should explain both the goods arriving and what needs to happen next. Storage duration, inventory identification and order frequency help define the operation. Include temperature requirements or special handling conditions so storage and outbound transportation can be coordinated together.
- Products, quantities and incoming package dimensions
- Expected storage period and receiving schedule
- Order preparation, dispatch and temperature requirements
