Full Service Warehousing and Logistics Solutions for Minneapolis Companies

by Kevin Smith Author

Nearly all medium to large-sized companies must come to terms with a variety of storage needs. This is true whether the industry is an industrial, governmental, retail, consumer or food concern. The items could be lettuce, car mirrors, paper forms, candy bars or furniture. All items will come with their own unique challenges for how best to store and distribute them over a period of weeks to years. A company that is experienced in warehousing and logistics in Minneapolis can offer a wide spectrum of solutions for manufacturers and suppliers.

Inventory Solutions

Whenever there is more than one or two of a product, accurate inventory becomes an issue. When these items are stored for a period of time, or when they are moved from place to place the inventory needs become more sophisticated. A web-based, state of the art inventory system will help a company not only keep track of items, but it will also do it efficiently and accurately. This is important because it will allow items to be found quickly and therefore to be delivered to the endpoint in a shorter amount of time. This can also result in less movement of items, thus cutting down on items that are damaged through unnecessary transport.

Storage Answers

Warehousing and logistics in Minneapolis also requires that a company has the right amount of space and the right kind of storage space. Throughout the year, a company’s needs for storage might change significantly. It might need a thousand square feet of storage in the spring, but ten times that much in the summer. Many companies will need storage space that is temperature controlled, while another industry might have more specific requirements, such as organic certified space. All companies will want storage space that is safe and clean and secure and that they have full access to. The ultimate goal is to have products delivered in good condition to customers.

Flexible Solutions

The goals of a warehousing company should be straightforward enough: to get a product from point A to point B and storing it in the interim, and to do so efficiently and safely. This might require such things as container loading and unloading, repacking, sorting and segregating products, and a number of other techniques. An experienced warehousing company should be skilled at all of these tasks. It should also be familiar with local and international logistics. With the right solutions, warehousing and logistics in Minneapolis should increase the speed of commerce and identify and eliminate inefficiencies in the process.
