3 Key Qualities That Will Transform Your Fulfillment Warehouse

3 Key Qualities That Will Transform Your Fulfillment Warehouse

Fulfillment Warehouse

Your fulfillment warehouse is the heart of your business’s operation, and without high-quality logistics your output will only be mediocre. With higher standards you can fulfill your potential and not settle for less than you or your customers deserve.

Check to see if your current warehouse has got these qualities and characteristics. If it doesn’t, maybe it’s time to find a new partner that can properly assist your business’s unique needs and goals.

 

1. Customized inventory tracking and reporting to match your detailed needs

Protecting product quality takes more than the right environment. It takes highly detailed tracking that allows you to identify expiration dates, lot numbers, and so on. Pick a partner that can custom tailor tracking and reporting for each client, based on the data you need to see, not what they want you to see. Even better? Ensure they’ve got a private, secure portal, too, so you can see for yourself any time, from anywhere.

2. Strictly-controlled environmental conditions

This one is critical and an absolute must. First off, ensure the warehouse is FDA Food-Grade certified. Then be sure they have the resources and qualifications to house special inventory like supplements and health and beauty products. In an ordinary warehousing situation, health products can lose their efficacy and beauty products can become contaminated. It’s simply unacceptable to be sending customers ruined products. Pick a partner that can handle your inventory appropriately.

 

3. Professional employees: experts in the field

In order to be successful, you’ve got to trust in the people that are handling your products. Who do you want to be picking and packing customer orders in the warehouse? Who do you want to be the last one to handle inventory before it gets shipped off to customers?

The quality of the people executing your third-party logistics will determine the quality of the orders and packages that arrive on your customers’ doorsteps. Think about that before you choose.

Don’t risk disappointing customers and losing sales by opting for the cheap-o choice. Both your customers and your health and beauty products will suffer. Instead, give them a seamless, efficient, friendly and proactively helpful experience.
