Should I Work With a Public Warehouse?
Public warehousing offers business owners short- or long-term storage on a month-to-month basis, eliminating the need for lengthy contracts. Since every business has different storage needs, warehouses typically charge by the pallet or for each square foot of space you use in the facility—this provides you flexibility and saves you money. Learn more about public warehouses and their benefits in the guide below.
How It Works
A public warehouse specializes in both the storage and distribution of goods. Business owners with large quantities of items can safely store everything in a public warehouse, paying only for the space they need. They can view and manage their product count by using advanced inventory management and tracking systems that often provide real-time visibility into their catalog.
Warehouses that offer full-service logistics also provide cross-docking, pick-pack, and contract packaging services to augment the transportation process. This allows business owners to customize their warehousing uses to meet their customers’ and company’s needs.
The Benefits
Many companies begin using public warehousing services temporarily, then shift to long-term storage after experiencing the economic benefits. Companies often find that outsourcing their warehouse needs is more cost-effective than building and maintaining their own distribution systems.
The variable space allows many businesses the flexibility to reduce their inventory while supporting their bottom line, especially during peak seasons or during periods of growth. Unlike a traditional storage unit, a public warehousing facility only charges you for the used space, so you can save money if you need less square footage.
