- External Storage – on secure warehousing site / 24hr CCTV internal / external monitored / hi-tech alarms / manned, etc.
- Returns centre warehouse (including Contract Packing & Recycling).
- Groupage warehousing – enabling cost-effective full consignment despatches.
- Local / Regional Distribution Centre (LDC / RDC) – providing reliable Just In Time (JIT) deliveries and associated savings.
- Fixed-rate goods handling charge (RHD) – either including or excluding additional activities as preferred.
It is important to choose the right type of storage method for the variation of goods you need us to handle – we are able to offer sound advice based on over 45 years in the industry. The advice will ensure the right method of handling & storage is used to keep condition and accessibility as required, our unique costing system will provide the most cost-effective route to your benefit, e.g:-
- Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) racked pallet / carton storage @ economic weekly rates – perfect for storage of non-stackable / high-value goods – or where direct fast order-pick access is required.
- Area Rental - Warehouse area rental for block stack (FIFO option) @ economic monthly rates – for standard palletised goods, cages, post-pallets, totes, large machinery, over-size / special consignments, etc.. – where direct fast pick access is less of a priority.
Typical value-added service options – often an essential ingredient necessary to reap the core benefits of outsourced logistics services - include:-
- Order-pick & pack operations
- Container de-stuffing / re-stuffing (loading bay)
- Multi-product re-group / re-palletise
- Cover-wrapping / shrink-wrapping
- Secure strapping (pallets & container loads)
