Warehousing Services

Warehousing services to optimize your business’s overall productivity

Companies that ship often need services to help maintain their overall supply chain; one of which is warehousing. Through our network of agencies and professional agents dispersed around the world, we have the resources to help you manage your cargoes whether at origin or destination.

Our consumer-centered model paves the way for our offered warehousing services to optimize your business’s overall productivity, profitability and customer-satisfaction.

Order Fulfillment

This includes order processing, packaging and labeling and shipping.

Inventory Control

Warehousing services can be used for inventory-control purposes. A company can utilize warehouse cycle counts to analyze delivery of goods to consumers, so it can take the necessary steps to improve its cycle count. Inventory control also makes it easy for companies to eliminate and reduce receiving errors.

Contract Warehousing

This is given to companies that aim to establish distribution centers in certain regions. A business can set up a warehouse facility overnight, and start delivering goods to consumers within a few days. It is popular with startups and businesses experiencing fast growth that may lack financial resources to set up their own warehouses.

Cross docking

This allows clients to route products from 1 or multiple manufacturing sites to a strategically located distribution center. Goods are then deconsolidated into multiple shipments, and delivered to consumers.

Transport

A warehousing firm can also offer transport services to its clients by sea, land or air. Some companies may also offer tracking services to their clients to track the movement of goods from one location to another in real-time.

Transloading

Transloading is the transfer of cargoes from one mode of transport to another i.e. from a truck to an airplane.

Consolidation and Deconsolidation Services

Consolidation

As the very meaning of the word suggests, consolidation in logistics also means combining several small packages or shipments into one big shipment. This helps shippers lower freight shipping costs and reduce transport time. Yet, consolidated shipments will go through more handling requirements and touch points during their journey. Rest assured, ASI’s team will properly plan the consolidation of your goods.

Deconsolidation

In freight shipping, deconsolidation is the separation or breaking down of one big shipment into smaller packages or shipments, so that they can be transported to their respective destinations which could be a store, warehouse or an end customer.

Benefits of Consolidation and Deconsolidation

Freight consolidation and deconsolidation are like two sides of a coin and are equally important.

Less Freight Shipping Cost

Freight consolidation is known to have a huge impact on shipping costs, for shippers only pay for the amount of space booked for their cargo as opposed to FCL & FTL shipments. Similarly, freight deconsolidation when done correctly and timely can save cost in the final distribution of the goods.

On Time Inventory

Shippers can consolidate and ship their products whenever they want to rather in LCL or LTL than waiting for the container to fill up. Then, the cargo can be deconsolidated and stored in places closer to the market; leading to quicker inventory movement, replenishment and availability in the market.

Availability of Your Products in the Market

Shippers can consolidate their freight based on the seasonal trends and market demands. Thus, consolidation and deconsolidation of freight help shippers ensure their products are available to the end consumers at all times.

Customs and Compliance
