Why is it so convenient to use a third-party warehouse?

The third-party goods warehouse has various functions, which contribute positively to various aspects of the company’s activity, economic and organizational.

Choosing third-party warehousing services allows internal staff to better concentrate on business growth activities. At the same time, the company does not have to bear the fixed costs relating to the internal management of warehouse activities.

Third party warehouse: what is it

In the context of warehouse logistics, when we talk about a third-party warehouse we are referring to a structure that uses means for handling goods, particularly large premises, vehicles for transport, management software and specialized personnel at each stage of logistics activities.

Below is a list of all the services that a company specialized in third-party warehousing services (such as ISS Palumbo) can offer:

• complete warehouse management (In, Out, Picking);
• organization of transport;
• inventory of all goods;
• management of all documentation;
• packaging and safety of the goods;
• labeling for recognition.

Warehouse management for third parties: all the advantages

There are many advantages when you rely on a company specialized in warehouse management for third parties.

First of all, the company can really exploit all the cost savings at its disposal, thanks to the reduction of costs relating to means of transport, the search for premises and the use of personnel and software necessary for the activity.

Furthermore, by relying on a company specialized in the management of a third-party warehouse, it is possible to offer your customers better quality service. This is because shipping times are reduced and logistics in general are optimized, while helping to reduce shipping costs that fall on customers.

In essence, third-party warehouse and storage offers advantages both for the distributor (it can benefit from a reduction in costs related to capital immobilization and management costs) and for the provider (it has greater warehouse capacity and efficiency , also reducing the use of internal resources).

When to choose a third-party warehouse management service

Maintaining a warehouse involves rather high costs:

• maintenance of the structure;
• maintenance of machinery;
• employment of qualified personnel;
• presence of remaining stocks.

Furthermore, if you are a company that does not have the necessary professionalism and skills internally to manage these functions, the most convenient solution is to rely on an external company.

Thanks to its high specialization, ISS Palumbo ensures not only a logistics service for third parties, but also the maximization of the effectiveness of company logistics and the various warehouse activities.

If you want to be competitive nationally and internationally, you cannot overlook efficiency in order management and shipping.
