If your business sells goods, you need a place to store them. Most often, this is in a fulfillment center, distribution center, or warehouse.
You can purchase land, lease a facility, hire staff, buy equipment, and get customers to buy from you — but it doesn’t stop there. Proper warehouse management is what will determine how successful a business will be.
It won’t matter if you have the most modern state-of-the-art warehouse if it’s not operating efficiently. You will be stuck with poor performing staff, a low-profit margin, high operating and logistics costs, ineffective leadership, and damaged relationships with customers.
