Our Suite of 3PL Warehousing Services
Order Picking
We invest in equipment to support the evolving needs of our clients, and to enable us to implement bespoke methodology that maximises picking efficiency and operational effectiveness. With an array of MHE, NVA trucks, Flexi trucks, and manual picking trolleys, we’re fully equipped.
Our system gives you full control of your orders, full visibility of delivery and collection dates, and is able to assign the picking of an order in the most efficient way, helping to streamline our working processes and optimise your storage space.
We adapt our picking method based on your FIFO preferences, and product factors such as batch control and best before dates, to ensure each of your retailers receive goods that meet their requirements.
Container Devanning
From organising the freight of your goods from their manufacturer to our sites, to liaising with the port or haulier to arrange the devanning of your products (whether that’s a few pallets, or a container featuring thousands of boxes and hundreds of SKUs), we manage the entire process of inbounding your products into our facilities.
For clients of our 3PL warehousing services inbounding products into our or our portside facility helps you to avoid potentially costly container unloading deadlines, enables us to offer rapid devanning times of a matter of hours, and complete product inbounding 0.7-1.2 days faster than our competitors.
Cross Docking
If you’re looking for a quick route the market, we deliver a cross docking service to quickly inbound products and ship them to retailers in the shortest possible time frame, without the goods spending much (or any) time in storage.
The process looks much like our container devanning service above, only items enter our warehouse ready to be shipped, where they are split by carrier and destination, and shipped to your retailers, rather than stored.
It’s not only our port centric model that helps speed up the inbound and outbound process. Our system, used across our facilities, enables our team to begin planning delivery routing as soon as we have visibility of the order, long before the product reaches our warehouse.
Ship to Store
Outside of our ecommerce 3PL warehousing service, including reverse logistics, ship to store is the fastest route to market. We deliver goods directly into high street stores across the globe be that your own, or those of your retailers. We can also take away the shipping materials. You can book your STS service via our WMS.
Need to stock in-store product promotions? Got products that sell well in certain areas? Is stock of your products running low, and you need a fast solution to maintain sales? Ship to Store is here to help.
