Many business owners and operations managers pay little attention to the process of choosing a warehouse to store their goods prior to shipping. Yet, the distribution facility plays a critical role in the supply chain. The selection of an inefficient, disorganized warehouse partner can spell trouble for your own business. As a result, it’s important to take the time to visit the warehouse in person to view its efficiency standards for yourself.
Customer Satisfaction
The vitality of your business is dependent upon the satisfaction of your customers. If your customers aren’t happy with your brand, they won’t become repeat customers and your brand reputation will suffer. One of the most effective ways to keep your customers happy is to ensure they receive the products they order in a timely fashion. And for this to happen, it’s essential that your goods are stored and shipped from an efficient warehouse partner that implements a cutting-edge inventory management system. You and your customers can reliably depend upon efficient distribution facilities to ship goods in a timely manner.
Corporate Relationships
Many businesses sell bulk goods to other businesses for resale, rather than to individual customers. If this describes your company, then you already understand the importance of maintaining good corporate relationships. Occasionally, buyers will visit distribution centers to inspect the supply chain and inventory for themselves. The last thing you would want is for a buyer to see that your goods are housed in an inefficient, messy warehouse in which employees must frequently deal with missing inventory and disorganized picking aisles. When a company has an inefficient warehouse partner, it reflects poorly on that company.
