High-bay aisle racked. Hard-standing floor. Pick and pack.
These are just a few examples of warehousing solutions for your business.
From small, start-up e-commerce businesses, to long-established high-street chains, many businesses choose to outsource their warehousing duties.
Not only does it free up time to focus on more important tasks, but it also creates space for more stock, and can even save you money in the long run.
Sounds good, right?
In this article, let’s explore the advantages of the services we offer at FDC Holdings, particularly warehousing in Sheffield.
Warehouses provide enhanced security
Many businesses, especially those on the smaller side just starting out, don’t have the resources to hire a dedicated security team – putting both their premises and stock at a higher risk of damage and theft.
Warehouses, on the other hand, will have an expert in-house team, as well as other measures – such as 24-hour CCTV – in place to protect your items.
With our years of training and on-the-job experience, you can be confident that your stock is protected at all times with us at FDC Holdings. We’ll take good care of it until it’s time to restock your shelves or you’re ready for it to be sent out to your customers.
It helps boost efficiency
Lots of warehouses offer more than just storage space to store your excess stock, and many companies provide additional inventory management services – such as picking, packing, shipping and restocking – alongside their warehousing services.
With an offsite team managing all these tasks for you, it allows you to focus on more important tasks you have on your to-do list.
As well as this, having a clean, organised warehouse storage space is important if you want to ensure quick and easy access to your items. And when you don’t have to spend time searching for what you need, your operations will run much more smoothly, and you can meet your customers’ demands promptly.
It allows for greater flexibility
Lots of businesses, like high-street retailers and e-commerce companies, face increased demand at certain points in the year.
Take the black Friday weekend, for example.
Held on the last Friday of November, and just under a month until Christmas, this event kickstarts the most profitable few weeks for businesses across the globe. So you need to ensure you have the right amount of stock to serve your customers during this time.
Having a flexible warehouse storage contract in place will allow you to store extra stock whenever you need it, for as long as you need to.
It minimises the risk of damaged goods
Be it due to a lack of space or less-than-ideal storage conditions for the preservation of goods, it isn’t always possible to hold your stock on-site.
Not to worry, though.
Warehouses provide ample space for your items, so you can keep everything in one, purpose-built place for the ultimate protection.
From advanced, state-of-the-art temperature control systems that help maintain the quality of your stock, to fully trained and experienced security teams to prevent your items from damage and theft and, ultimately, protect your profit.
