Things to Look Out For in a Warehouse Facility

Familiar with the saying, “the customers are always right?” This is true and should be applicable to all businesses. If you want to succeed in the business sector, you should give great importance to customer satisfaction. If you will ask me what customer satisfaction is, it is a term in business used for measuring if a certain company meets the customer's standards for the products or services rendered.

So, if you are company which focuses on distributing products investing on a warehouse should be well chosen.

So, if you are a businessman who's looking for warehouse, these are the things that you should look out for:

1. Location

Ask yourself, “where are your customers coming from?”. If you already conducted your case study, and determined the location where they are coming then your next step is to find a warehouse near to them. This is vital to businesses where orders are taken from the internet. For example, if you are taking orders from within Region 3, NCR and Region 4A, having a warehouse in NCR, will definitely be the best because NCR is in between Region 3 and Region 4A.

2. Facility and Security

Now that you have chosen a strategic location, check the facility. Are your products safe in their warehouse? Do they have security cameras? Do they have a good inventory system? I'm not saying that if these questions are met, they will the best warehouse. What I am saying is create a list of features you need in a warehouse and check them out personally.

3. Services

What are their services? Do they have a truck to transport your products? Do they offer insurance policies for your products? Are they offering disposal sevices like auctioning your items? Do you need inventory or proper packaging of your things? Know all the services that your warehouse offers. Services like these will definitely make your life easier.

4. Cost

Finally, if they have all what you need, ask the price of renting out the warehouse.

 So, these are all the things that I have in mind before renting a warehouse. Thanks for reading my post!
