Warehouse Storage During Seasonal and Volume Fluctuations

Thursday, March 3rd, 2016

If your business deals with seasonal demands and volume fluctuations, then using a 3PL for extra warehouse storage can prove a helpful option for handling those high volume periods. The benefits of outsourcing your warehouse storage needs during sales fluctuations include:

Flexibility

By outsourcing to an experienced supply chain partner, you have access to a multitude of storage capacity and space options. Whether you require the storage and distribution of dry good, temperature-controlled perishables or bulk manufacturing/construction materials, a quality 3PL can provide the options necessary during seasonal surges. A 3PL also brings years of experience and various value-added services to best server your business’ every changing needs.

Cost Effectiveness

Outsourcing your warehouse storage during volume surges allows you to better predict costs, because once your increased storage needs are met, your costs return to pre-fluctuation levels. No need to acquire expensive long-term options that remain unused during normal volume levels. At Commercial Warehousing, we provide both contract or leased space for your warehousing needs.

Concentrating on Your Core Business

A seasoned 3PL provides more than just storage opportunities.
