Strategic Warehousing

What is Strategic Warehousing?

Strategic warehousing is the complete process of managing your transportation spending, organizing warehouse space, and efficiently fulfilling customer orders. It is a complex logistics process involving specialized teams, equipment, technologies, and safety measures.
However, optimizing all these aspects can be challenging and time-consuming. By outsourcing your warehousing processes to a 3PL partner, you can transform some direct costs into variable costs.
With our strategic warehousing solutions, you won’t have to invest in warehouse facilities & equipment, warehouse systems & technologies, employees, and safety measures. We handle all of that for you

What are the benefits of using a third party warehouse provider?

A warehouse provider prepares and ships your company’s order. The product looks like it comes directly from your company. However, the people who organize & ship the product are employees of the logistics partner.
It’s cost effective: When fulfilling your orders, a strategic warehousing provider charges you only when they touch something, meaning they charge you every time they go to a shelf and grab a product to put into a box (often called a cost per unit) but nothing else.
Open book pricing: Some warehouse providers will also offer “cost plus” or “open book” pricing, which means they take their costs and add a margin to the amount you pay. They often do this when the scope of work is unclear, and it’s hard to gauge what their costs will be.
Domestic teams across multiple accounts. The operations manager on your account may be working on several reports, so you only pay for a portion of their salary. Similarly, the cost of a forklift lease or software might also be shared across multiple accounts.

Last Mile Logistics has hundreds of domestic warehouse partners around the country who can handle your inventory.
