Flexible warehousing
Managing storage capacity can be challenging at the best of times, especially during peak seasons when demand can become unpredictable, to say the least. That’s why we offer scalable storage solutions and flexible contract terms. Our flexible warehousing allows you to buy space by the pallet, quickly adapting to your capacity requirements so that you’ll only have to pay for what you need as you need it.
Switching to a flexible contract not only removes a lot of traditional outlays that come with longer leases, it’s also likely to improve your cash flow by reducing your month-to-month operating costs as you’re only paying for what you use. That’s why we also offer the infrastructure to manage your retail warehousing operations under one inclusive fee covering all site overheads.
Our flexible warehousing contracts
- Reduce upfront costs. Unlike long-term leases that burden retailers with substantial initial costs like security deposits, stamp duty and fit-out expenses, our contracts minimise these outlays, freeing up capital for your other business priorities such as digital investment.
- Give full cost transparency. With fixed costs per unit, you’ll have a clear understanding of ongoing warehouse-related expenses without any surprises.
- Help your business to scale. Only pay for what you need. Whether you’re looking to add or reduce your space to match seasonal demand, you can adjust your contract accordingly so that there’s absolutely no chance of any wastage.
- Reduce overheads. Our service agreement contracts come with facility and account management, saving you time and money by outsourcing maintenance, security, and compliance reporting tasks. This means you can focus on your core retail business.
- Add value to your retail operations. We even provide retail support services such as labelling, kimballing, processing returns and tailored B2C/B2B solutions.
