Warehouses play an importance role in the supply chain, often overlooked by shippers and their partners. They serve as a crucial starting point for every logistics supply chain service, from goods storage at the origin to the transportation phase and finally to warehouses at the destination. Warehouse with accurate management information system is paramount, as it allows companies to track and manage their assets effectively, ensuring the accurate quantification of each item in their inventory, manage its production planning and scheduling system to meet commitment to end users.
The way new products are introduced and distributed has evolved significantly in the era of technology. Nowadays, new products are often introduced through live video streaming to both domestic and global audiences. Customers can place orders in real-time, and online payments are processed swiftly. The products are then efficiently processed and shipped from the nearest warehouse facility, reaching end consumers in just a matter of days. This rapid and efficient distribution process has reshaped the way businesses bring products to market.
The evolution of product distribution has impacted on manufacturing processes and its planning. Firstly, it has led to a significant reduction in the product life cycle, enabling products to reach the market more rapidly. Secondly, it has facilitated the production of smaller quantities, as products can be manufactured in response to real-time demand generated by system rather than relying on forecasts. Consequently, the requirement for large storage facilities has significantly diminished.
As a result, the demand for large storage facilities has been substantially reduced, necessitating a reconfiguration of business strategies. In the near future, shippers or manufacturers are considering the leasing of smaller warehouse facilities strategically located in close densely populated areas or mid-town location. This proximity allows shippers to store finished products that enables them to quickly and efficiently reach end consumers, effectively meeting their expectations for swift delivery. This adaptation to changing market dynamics underscores the significance of adaptability in the technology-driven supply chain landscape.
Many logistics and forwarder companies can take advantage of this opportunity by reconfiguring available space for warehousing. This can be especially beneficial for items that require specialized storage conditions such as temperature control or clean storage facilities, which can be integrated into the office environment.
