WAREHOUSING

How important is the synchronization of logistics and warehousing? Warehousing is an essential element of Unified Logistics Services and the way in which we help you manage the storage and transportation of your product lines and inventories.  The two must be aligned and in balance to have an efficient impact on the overall productivity of a company as well as their outbound logistics operations.  Cooperation between the two is critical in order for them to be effective and maintain higher levels of productivity and synchronization within the operation.

HOW DO LOGISTICS AND WAREHOUSING SERVICES DIFFER?

Granted, they are two different facets of similar supply chain functions.  However, warehousing services involves the safe and secure storage of information, inventory, products, etc. whereas logistics involves the overall function of:

• information
• internal product movement
• inventory
• transportation
• warehousing

Since Unified Logistics Services and warehousing services function in tandem with one another where the scope of any product manufacturing and distribution operation is concerned, ensuring the collaboration of these two elements is paramount. Your business’s reputation depends on timely deliveries and let us help you smoothen the storage and transportation process.  With years of experience, we understand the nuances of secure storage and transportation.

KEY ELEMENTS OF SYNCHRONIZATION

Synchronization is the ability for individual operations to work together in regards to the peculiarities and quirks within everyday logistics and warehousing activities.  It can refer to logistic functional alignment such as scheduling times for pickups and deliveries or warehouse staffing constraints.  Scheduling synchronization enables the loading and unloading of shipments at their scheduled times using the optimal number or employees and equipment to complete the job.  In so doing, Unified Logistics Services can help you improve efficiently by reducing idle time, re-work, and waste.

Other forms of synchronization between logistics and warehousing services include buying strategies that eliminate dock congestion and storage constraints.  By matching the amount of inbound shipment volume with that of outbound shipments, you can maintain a level flow of product throughout the facility as well as other areas within the chain of supply.  Logistics and warehousing services are two essential elements of efficient delivery, information, inventory, and products to manufacturers and customers.  It can also help alleviate constraints and stress in these two areas, also.

BENEFITS OF SYNCHRONIZATION

When logistics and warehousing services collaborate with other areas within the chain of supply, increasingly more opportunities for synchronization and the elimination of waste will arise.  As other supply chain members collaborate with one another and use synchronization techniques, it will reduce the internal stress on the supply chain while enabling more successful opportunities externally.  Unified Logistics Services and warehousing services can also be a key component in the supply chain network overall.
