Why warehouse locally?

Any business that sells physical goods needs a place to store those goods. That’s true universally, so warehousing UK simply refers to domestic storage. What is often overlooked is the fact that warehouse location matters. Fledgeling businesses will sometimes agree to contracts with their manufacturers to have goods stored and dispatched by the factory overseas. This is a huge error. Customers today don’t want to wait weeks and months for shipments. It’s a much better idea to have all your goods stored locally.

Assuming you’ve not locked yourself into an overseas contact, you should consider domestic warehousing. Local storage will cut down on shipment delays and customs processing. By local, we mean local to where your customers are. So if 90% of your orders come from the UK, you’ll want to have a warehouse within the country. Additionally, a warehouse with fulfilment services can act as an all-in-one distribution centre for your operation too; further speeding up the ordering process.

Benefits of a Local Fulfilment Centre

Reduced Cost– When several companies pool resources, the cost is reduced for all of them.
Improved Quality– The quality of the fulfilment services is also higher with shared resources than what a company would be able to afford on their own.
Fulfilment Experts– Instead of hiring a team of fulfilment experts, share these people resources to meet demand.
Shipping Network– When most of your clientele is domestic, choosing a local fulfilment centre also arms you with built-in distribution channels.
Manned Security– Virtually eliminate shrinkage through robust entry/exit controls and enhanced surveillance.
Scale-up Quickly – Don’t pay for more than you need. Shared local fulfilment centres offer you flexible contracts and PAYG options so you can grow at pace.
Tech Investments– Enjoy comprehensive oversight of your goods as shared investments allow for the best tech infrastructure.
