What does it mean?
Receiving, safeguarding and organizing goods in a storage facility until they are needed for dispatch or another operation. Warehouse services can include inventory records, order preparation and coordination of outbound movements.
In practice
Imported products remain in storage while the distributor schedules replenishment orders.
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
