New technologies are a cornerstone of improving market share and innovation in all aspects of business. As businesses become more effective and creative, one of the least efficient aspects is logistics. In the past, every business that made a product needed a warehouse in which to store it. These warehouses needed to be maintained, stocked and manned. If a business made products, they always had to have space to store them. That was the bottom line.

Outsourcing

Today, if you are a small business with local demand for your product, and you don’t have the storage space, you can outsource a warehouse. If you’re a large business with a world-wide demand for your products, and you want to cut costs, you can outsource a warehouse. This is called third party logistics, or 3PL for short, and it takes away the warehouse management needed from both small and large business owners.

Warehouse Equipment

3PL’s are the new wave in warehouse problem solving. They can provide warehousing, transportation or even raw material provision. The key to this modern type of warehousing is called containerization, where products are stored in like sized containers that can be stacked and transported efficiently. This has opened up an entire new industry, with the needs for new and effective warehouse equipment to support it.
