Logistics Management is Far More than Having a Big Box

When it comes down to it, setting up a warehouse to store your goods or someone else’s is easy. Creating a box big enough to contain everything you need should be a guaranteed hit, right? Not exactly, and there’s no rule anywhere that suggests the ‘build it and they will come’ approach to managing your inventory and fulfilling your orders will lead to success. Strategic Warehousing understands that it’s what happens inside that box that really matters. That’s why great logistics management in Minneapolis, Minnesota is more than a building.

Don’t get us wrong; Strategic Warehousing has a box, actually, more than a few big boxes to the tune of more than 500,000 square feet of warehouse storage in the Twin Cities metro area. While that’s a huge asset, it’s how we manage what happens next that makes the difference.

Using Technologies and Services to Create Exceptional Results

Who wouldn’t enjoy adding the skills of a very talented third-party logistics (3PL) firm to their operation? Someone who knows logistics management, from stacking a pallet to pick and pack services to get your goods properly shipped. It’s like getting a strategic partner who knows your needs and how to grow with them. But don’t take it from us; here’s how one of our pleased clients puts it:

It’s very difficult to find a logistics partner that can – or wants to – do more than store your product, but Strategic Warehousing does whatever we need without complaint and does it incredibly well. We’ve worked with Strategic for more than two years now and are extremely pleased with the partnership.
