Secure, Organized, and Efficient Storage Solutions
At Express Priority Delivery, warehousing is an essential part of an effective logistics operation. Businesses need more than transportation alone; they also need suitable storage arrangements that help keep inventory organized and make goods easier to manage before dispatch.
Warehousing supports the movement of products between suppliers, distribution centres, retailers, and customers. Depending on facility capabilities and the agreed service scope, warehousing may include receiving goods, recording inventory, storing products, preparing orders, and coordinating outbound shipments.
Our goal is to help businesses understand the storage and handling options available for their logistics requirements.
Our Warehousing Solutions
Short-Term Storage
Short-term storage can accommodate goods awaiting dispatch, distribution, collection, or onward transportation. It may be useful when shipments arrive before their planned delivery dates or when businesses need temporary space during inventory transitions.
Long-Term Storage
For businesses that need to maintain inventory over an extended period, long-term warehousing can provide an organized storage arrangement. Availability, storage conditions, handling rules, and fees should be confirmed before goods are received.
Inventory Management
Inventory management involves recording and monitoring stock movements so businesses can maintain a clearer view of the goods held in storage. Depending on the systems available, records may include product descriptions, quantities received, quantities dispatched, and current stock balances.
Order Picking and Packing
Where supported, order fulfilment services may include retrieving products from storage, checking order quantities, packing items, applying shipping labels, and preparing orders for dispatch. These activities can help businesses coordinate customer orders more efficiently.
Distribution and Dispatch Coordination
Warehousing can serve as a central point for consolidating goods, preparing outbound shipments, and coordinating transportation to business customers, retail outlets, or other destinations.
Cross-Docking and Cargo Consolidation
Where facilities and operating processes allow, cross-docking can move eligible goods from inbound transportation to outbound transportation with limited storage time. Cargo consolidation can also combine compatible shipments for onward movement.
