From analysing the product range to normal operation.

What the service is Fixed warehouse costs
Fixed warehouse costs
become variable
The company stops running the warehouse as a separate division: no renting space, buying equipment, hiring storekeepers or implementing an accounting system. Your own warehouse costs the same in December and February, even if turnover differs threefold. Outsourcing follows the flow of goods.
Receiving vehicles
Unloading, checking against documents, recording discrepancies with a photo report.
Registration and put-away
Registration in the WMS and addressed put-away based on turnover rules.
Storage under set conditions
Temperature range and product compatibility are maintained by regulation.
Handling of goods
Order picking, labelling, stickering and repacking to the consignee's requirements.
Shipping and documents
Picking, checks in the dispatch area, paperwork and handover to the carrier.
Reporting and reconciliation
Stocktaking, daily stock levels, a certificate and reconciliation at the end of the period.
What you get The warehouse runs,
The warehouse runs,
and you don't have to manage it
Staff, loading equipment, racking and accounting system licences are on the complex's side. You don't deal with holidays, sick leave or turnover: the operator is responsible for staffing each shift.
Daily stock reconciliation at the start.
Every item confirmed by scanning.
All operations are visible in the personal account: who received the truck, where the pallet was put, which cells the order was picked from.
Who it's for When outsourcing pays off
When outsourcing pays off
and when it doesn't
We calculate both scenarios with the client's figures before the contract is signed.
Outsourcing pays off
Hand the warehouse to an operator
Clear signs: the warehouse takes a disproportionate share of management attention, the flow of goods varies seasonally by more than one and a half times, picking accuracy is falling and claims are rising.
- demand seasonality above 1.5×;
- entering a new region without building infrastructure;
- your own warehouse has run out of space;
- mis-pick claims are growing.
Your own warehouse is cheaper
Keep the warehouse in-house
If your goods have unique storage requirements and the volume is stable and large, your own warehouse may be cheaper. We say so directly, even if it means a smaller bill for us.
- stable volume with no seasonal dips;
- unique storage conditions;
- the warehouse is part of the production cycle.
How it works How the switch
How the switch
to outsourcing works
The switch takes two to four weeks. Enhanced control runs for the first month, after which the process moves to normal operation.
01
Analysis
We review the product range, volumes and shipping schedule and calculate the economics of both scenarios.
02
Procedures
We agree who does what and when, how documents are processed and what reporting is needed.
03
Setup
We allocate pallet places, set up the product catalogue in the WMS and assign a dedicated manager.
04
Normal operation
First month — daily reconciliation and review of deviations, then weekly and monthly.
Case study
How it works in practice
Warehouse move in 6 shifts without stopping shipments
Task
The client rented premises without racking and lost up to 4 hours a day searching for goods.
Result
Picking accuracy rose to 99.6 %, and order picking time fell from 5 to 1.5 hours.
A warehouse that gets cheaper in the low season
Task
Fixed costs for their own warehouse stayed the same even though turnover differed threefold between seasons.
Result
Spending became variable and followed the flow of goods, freeing up working capital in the off-season.
Questions
Questions about outsourcing
Receiving vehicles, unloading and checking against documents, registration and addressed put-away, storage under set conditions, picking, labelling and repacking, shipping with paperwork, as well as stocktaking, reporting and reconciliation.
No: every action is recorded in the WMS and available in the personal account. You can see who received the truck and when, where the pallet was put and which cells the order was picked from.
Two to four weeks: analysing the product range, agreeing procedures, setting up the catalogue in the WMS and allocating pallet places.
A daily stock report, movement history for each batch, a certificate of work completed and a reconciliation at the end of the month. Discrepancies are reviewed with a photo report.
Storage per pallet place per day plus warehouse handling per operation. You pay for the actual volume of work, not for running a division.
The schedule is agreed in the contract. If needed, we organise receiving and shipping at weekends and extended operation in peak season.
