Choosing a Centralized Location Isn’t the Only Thing Central to Your Success
Strategic location and efficient storage solutions are crucial when selecting a warehousing and logistics company. Our facilities are within two hours of Chicago and St. Louis, and we can reach major metros such as Kansas City, Indianapolis, and Detroit within a day. Plus, we’re equipped to handle various warehousing challenges, ensuring your products are stored safely and efficiently.
But enough about us.
Let’s talk about you.
Whether you need to store finished goods awaiting distribution or raw materials before production, warehousing is a cornerstone of effective logistics solutions. However, managing large volumes of materials or products while maintaining flexibility to accommodate changes in demand and production schedules isn’t easy.
So, here’s what to look for (and to look out for) when looking for midwestern warehousing services:
1. Strategic Locations
Are warehouses conveniently located to facilitate efficient interstate distribution and logistics? Can you leverage Chicago, St. Louis, and Indianapolis transportation and distribution hubs, some of the most important regional hubs serving the Midwest and the rest of the country?
2. Efficient & Scalable Storage Solutions
Look for a provider that offers flexible storage options to accommodate businesses of all sizes. Whether your operation is currently small or large, a provider with experience in both better understands how scalability is crucial to managing costs, handling seasonal variations, expanding into new markets, and sustaining business.
3. Experienced Warehouse Staff
When your business revolves entirely around stuff, you need a partner who insists on only hiring professionals specifically trained to ensure your products are handled with expert care. ‘Nuff said.
½. Full-Service Provider (i.e. Never Go ½ Assed)
At the end of the day, warehousing isn’t about product. It’s about people. Look for a provider that doesn’t return to the same playbook with cookie-cutter solutions. Seek a partner that enables its staff to think outside the box and is empowered to meet your needs, doing whatever it takes to solve your problems. And understands that the best location for a warehouse is wherever you need a warehouse.
