What is short-term warehousing and why is it important?

Running out of safe and secure storage space then why not consider efficient and cost-effective short-term warehousing solutions? Simply continue reading to find out why short-term warehousing is used by commercial businesses and what this service includes from the temporary warehouse and structure experts here at Mar-Key Group.

 

What is short-term warehousing?

Often, short-term warehousing refers to storing products in a warehouse for a period of 90 days or less. However, short-term warehousing can refer to using a warehouse for any short-term purpose. This might include creating a temporary storage space while the permanent storage building is under renovation or creating a designated short-term storage area for unsaleable items.

 

Why is short-term warehousing important?

Ideal for both retailers and manufacturers of all shapes and sizes, short-term warehousing allows these businesses to store their goods and equipment for up to three months. Typically, these businesses enlist short-term warehousing services based on seasonal demand for certain products, but they can also be employed to increase turnaround times and support stock rotation.

With no long-term contracts to worry about, short-term warehousing is an affordable option that can be easily adjusted to meet the user’s requirements. Depending on their budget and storage needs, businesses may choose to build their own temporary warehouse space or simply hire an existing warehouse for a short period.

This arrangement provides manufactures and retailers with more freedom to store products as and when required, ensuring they can meet their ever-evolving customer demand with ease.
