This phase involves the storing or warehousing of raw materials, finished goods, inventory and returns. Ultimately, successful order fulfillment for consumers depends on having the right products and the correct quantity of products on hand and properly stored.
Manufacturers, importers, exporters and wholesalers store their materials and products in various ways. Some store goods in facilities they own, contract with third parties for facilities dedicated to their use only or utilize public warehouses where multiple customers share space in the same facility. These entities may utilize third party logistics companies that specialize in different areas like retail, high tech or direct to consumer distribution.
Goods are stored optimally when the right mix of facilities, infrastructure and technology exists.
