Do you have warehousing and fulfillment needs this holiday season? You’re not alone in Minneapolis, especially since several retailers had to order early in a bid to out-think our current administration when it comes to potential tariffs and shortages of products.
Strategic Warehousing is needed when you figure that a strong economy and lots of conventional retailers are going head-to-head with e-commerce businesses who put a serious priority on quick delivery.
It’s guesstimated that strong e-commerce demand alone will result in a need of an additional half million warehousing and distribution workers nationwide in 2018-2019. There are two immediate ways to tackle this problem; consider options on how to automate certain warehouse functions that can create more efficiency, and of course, hire more people in what is already a tight labor market.
It will require strategic thinking to look beyond the current holiday crush and think about the value of recruiting and retaining good talent for the long-term in a job market that’s nearing full employment and demanding higher wages.
It’s a promising and efficient future that Strategic Warehousing’s name and attitude embraces. We can offer you 600,000 square feet of custom storage space in convenient proximity to the Minneapolis area.
