Third party warehousing refers to the outsourcing of warehousing and inventory management functions. Instead of handling the logistics associated with managing and moving inventory in-house, outside professionals are trusted to take control of this aspect of supply chain management.
A third party warehousing provider may offer space for inventory. The benefit associated with this is that your company pays only for the space it requires and does not have to assume all costs of maintaining a full warehouse (including construction, maintenance, security and utility costs). Classic Transportation has more than 300,000 square feet of food grade warehousing space. Facilities are temperature controlled and can handle hazardous goods.
However, third party warehousing is generally about much more than simply providing space. Logistics experts can take care of everything from managing the inventory stored in the warehouse to arranging trucks to transport it. You can have your items picked, packed, and shipped. You can even work with a company that will save you money on transport by offering less-than-full truckload (LTL) shipping.
