As you make plans for your business in 2015, you might be considering how to best manage your inventory. Perhaps you want to add services like local delivery this coming year to stay competitive and best serve your customer base.
Moving to a larger location simply so you can manage your own inventory is usually not the best financial decision for a business. For one, it increases many costs such as rent, utilities and security. It also means you have to add more duties onto what you’re already doing in the business when you have to manage the warehouse.
This is why we at On Time Logistics always urge businesses of all sizes to strongly consider outsourcing their warehousing. We’ve spoken before in this space about what you should look for in a warehousing partner but today we want to specifically talk about what benefits there are to choosing On Time Logistics as your warehousing solution.
Like many warehousing services, we offer a controlled environment and our secured warehouse is staffed by qualified, professional individuals.
We also offer three centralized locations in Northwest Arkansas (Springdale), Little Rock and Tulsa. These three locations provide us with the ability to fulfill customer needs quickly and easily. It also makes it easier for customers to come to us.
Where On Time Logistics really shines, however, is in our fulfillment services. We don’t just store your inventory, kitting kits and other supplies. You would just need a storage shed for that.
When you choose warehousing with On Time Logistics, you are choosing a company that can customize your solution including:
- The ability to receive and store products and materials in a secure environment for you and your customers. This means you don’t have to worry transferring the product to a customer because they can come to our warehouse in most cases.
- The use of the latest technology to track inventory so you always know what you have, where it’s located, and if you need to order more. This means no coming to the warehouse to do manual counting.
- The ability to process orders via our Manage Store portal on the website, thus eliminating the need to develop a separate processing and fulfillment system at your own location.
- Distributing orders for customers to specified locations. For example, do you sell canned food products? We can deliver to the stores where your products are sold. Do you sell manufactured metal buildings? We can deliver the materials to your customer.
