Small and medium sized companies that import or export products can play in the big league like their larger sized competition. How? By using a multi‑client warehouse. Instead of paying for an entire warehouse and team, you “share the ride” with other shippers and only pay for your piece. The warehouse is one building that serves many different companies at the same time. Same forklifts, same racking, same staff, same services, but each company has its own inventory and rules.
Shared warehousing provides MAIN advantages, including built-in labor, paying only for the space you need, freedom from long term leasing constraints, seasonal flexibility, and state-of-the-art software and systems already in place.
It’s kind of like flying from Charleston to Charlotte. You don’t buy the whole plane. You just buy your seat.
