Fashion Forward: How Public Warehouses Can Make a Difference in Apparel Logistics

Talk about a perfect fit: public warehouses and apparel are designed for each other.

Public warehousing and distribution offers all types of apparel, footwear, and fashion accessory companies the ideal solution for warehousing their inventory, keeping track of the different lines of style, and distributing them to retailers or directly to consumers who order online. Here are just a few ways third-party logistics (3PL) providers are the perfect pairing with fashion businesses.

Move More Inventory, Faster and More Accurately

One of the major benefits apparel companies get from using a 3PL public warehouse is streamlined warehousing and distribution functions. And that is key when you consider the competition clothing companies face. You need to move more inventory and do so accurately and faster than your competitors to stay in the game.

Outsourcing your logistics will allow you to meet those goals. At Brendamour Warehousing, Distribution & Services, we have the state-of-the-art equipment and technological systems and processes to manage your inventory, warehouse it properly, and move your apparel through the distribution chain in a fast and cost-efficient manner, all while ensuring orders are accurate and your apparel is handled carefully to prevent damage.

We recognize that apparel and accessory companies have special needs, such as warehousing the same garment style, but in different colors and sizes. Our sophisticated warehouse management system ensures same styles are properly sorted and stored by color and size, and the correct items are picked and packed to fill orders.

Lower Your Fashion Company’s Operations Costs

The focus of your business is fashion, which is where the focus of your operations should be. A 3PL public warehouse can make that happen by allowing your company to outsource non-core activities, such as warehousing, order processing, order fulfillment, distribution, transportation management, reverse logistics, etc.

At Brendamour Warehousing, we can develop an omni-channel fulfillment process specific to your clothing business that will lower your current company’s operations costs.

We do this through our advanced warehouse management system, automated order fulfillment systems, and expanded logistics services, like pick and pack, customized packing, and more.

Boost Your Customer Service Potential

As the apparel industry goes beyond brick-and-mortar stores to reach its customer base, new business methods, such as subscription-based clothing, online stylists, and virtual reality e-commerce, require sophisticated order fulfillment to meet customer expectations.

The very business of public warehousing and distribution allows businesses to deliver high-end customer service. For example, if your business model calls for unlimited exchanges with free shipping, a 3PL like Brendamour Warehousing, can help you provide that customer service economically with our partnerships and rate agreements with contract trucking and shipping carriers.

Customers also expect fast deliveries, which is why the locations of Brendamour’s warehouses are situated within quick access to distribution routes. This allows us to transport your goods via the fastest and most cost-effective method, whether that may be truck, train, plane, or boat.

Just like runway shows offer the latest fashion collections, public warehousing and distribution show off your business savvy. Outsourcing these non-core functions are the way to go to get your apparel business out in front of the competition.
