Public Warehousing Benefits for Manufacturers

If there’s one thing manufacturers need and public warehouses like Brendamour Warehousing, Distribution & Services have, it’s space. But Brendamour takes public warehousing to a whole other level, offering manufacturers so much more than a place to store their goods. We offer third party logistics (3PL) services that can provide manufacturers with much needed flexibility of resources, especially in peak seasons or growth cycles.

Besides storage space, other resources provided by Brendamour include equipment, labor and support services, like order fulfillment, light assembly and quality control testing. But beyond these 3PL solutions, Brendamour Warehousing has additional capabilities that can positively impact a manufacturer’s bottom line.

Advantages Manufacturers Realize with Public Warehousing

Regardless of their size or what they manufacture, all manufacturers can realize meaningful benefits from the use of a public warehouse. Here are some of the more valuable advantages:

Streamlined Transportation: Public warehouses like Brendamour Warehousing enable manufacturers to reduce transportation costs by storing their raw materials, parts and finished products all in one location. At any of Brendamour’s four prime warehouse locations, we deliver considerable cost savings to manufacturers in two ways:

- Implementing just-in-time inventory systems for their receivables;
- Allowing for their materials to be in close range to their point of manufacture or distribution.

Customized Channels: Manufacturers are hard pressed to find suppliers with a single distribution network that can accommodate the diverse requirements of a manufacturer’s customer base. For example, manufacturers may have customers who order small quantities often and others who order large quantities over longer cycle times. These and many other types of requests are handled daily by 3PLs. At Brendamour, we help manufacturers meet the demands and expectations of their customers with advanced logistics software that allows us to customize distribution in any configuration required. We can support as many distribution networks as needed and customize them with our cross-docking services and route-efficiency networks so manufacturers get their products moved the way they need it and at the lowest possible cost.

Product Customization: As manufacturers try to accommodate the different product customization requests of its customers, such as a different product configuration, label, etc., they are relying on the supplementary order fulfillment services provided by public warehouses. Brendamour Warehousing is perhaps one of the few 3PLs that offer such an extensive array of support services, among them packaging, labeling, inspection, assembly work, bundling and folding, just to name a few. We offer manufacturers the option to store their products in generic form so they can be customized to customer order. This product customization option allows manufacturers to offer their customers value-added services that meet their special product requirements.

Frees Up Capital: The warehousing, order fulfillment, logistics and distribution services offered by Brendamour Warehousing and Distribution allow manufacturers to free up capital that would have gone towards acquiring and operating a distribution center. Instead, manufacturers can use this freed up capital in other areas, such as research and development, new manufacturing equipment, training, sales and marketing, and other efforts that will increase profits.
