Warehousing of goods and transport of collective goods
Warehousing of goods and transport of collective goods
Warehouse logistics specialists are responsible for logistics planning and organization, and their tasks include - receiving, approving, loading, storing, packing and labeling cargo and goods. All cargo must be stored according to its condition and characteristics, and in addition, cargo and road schedules must be created in accordance with legal regulations, and appropriate routes must be planned. There are companies closely specialized in exactly this activity - warehouse logistics - with large logistics warehouses, but there are also companies, like us, that can offer storage in smaller own bases, for cargo without specific characteristics or storage in specialized warehouse bases of partners. And if it can be summarized, it can be said that - forwarding and warehouse logistics are still parts of the same process, and their main goal, after all, is the effective movement of goods from their origin to the final destination their destination - quickly, economically and in accordance with the requirements. Effective storage and management of goods are really key components. Warehousing plays a key role in the management and organization of goods, ensuring that products are stored safely and efficiently.
When transporting collective (group) cargo, storage is almost mandatory. Very rarely does a group transport go directly somewhere. Groupage transport, it is the transport of collective loads of different customers for a certain destination and the options are for the customer to store his cargo until the departure date and be able to react very quickly or to store his cargo with the service provider. Why is this done? In order to reduce the cost of transporting bulk cargo, the logistician or freight forwarder divides the entire process into stages. One of the stages is the storage and consolidation of cargo in warehouses, until the moment of their dispatch to the final destination. Namely, this operator takes responsibility for the temporary maintenance of the load, as well as, if necessary, performs activities such as - sorting, packing, bundling and labeling. Large manufacturing or trading companies have technical equipment, personnel, their own warehouses and carry out these activities themselves, but a smaller company can hardly afford such a huge expense, and the additional services offered by logistics and forwarding agents listed above are in bonus and acceptable cost, even low, compared to maintaining own warehouse base, for small business. The professionally done work is a guarantee that incompatible products will not end up in the transport, and the rules for safe handling of the goods will be followed for sure, during unloading and loading. And at the first opportunity to transport to a certain destination, the cargo will be grouped and loaded, taking into account the intermediate stops, of course. No load should wait too long to be transported, but the capacity of the truck should also be very well utilized for the transport to be truly efficient and profitable. And if the freight forwarder works with good partners, because working with partners is part of the whole business and absolutely imperative, then most often the cargo arrives exactly at the agreed time, regardless of how many stops it had on its way.
