Warehousing

Warehousing is the process of storing goods in a controlled space to facilitate the efficient management of inventory, order fulfillment, and distribution. It is a critical component of the supply chain and logistics process, supporting both the storage of raw materials and finished products until they are needed for further processing or shipment.

Warehouses are used by manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, and third-party logistics providers (3PLs) to ensure that products are stored safely, organized properly, and ready for quick dispatch when required. The design, management, and technology used in warehouses have evolved over time to meet the growing demands of global supply chains, e-commerce, and just-in-time inventory practices.
