SCM

UWarehousing outsourcing is a strategic decision when to aim for corporate objectives through the deployment of part of the company’s own employees, buildings, resources and/or invested equity is not (or no longer) required.

Companies should focus on their core business and outsourcing the warehousing side is a logical choice within that context.

Outsourcing to an expert is carried out with a view to achieving benefits of a qualitative and quantitative nature:

• Having sufficiently qualified staff becomes less of a concern
• The flexibility of the company itself is increased
• Being less dependent on your own staff (no issues with regard to redundancies when times are not so great)
• Higher quality level because specialist knowledge is used
• Safeguarding quality through Service Level Agreements (SLAs)
• No concerns anymore about permits, safety reports and safety management systems
• No concerns anymore about future changes to legislation
• Release of invested equity because company resources (machines, buildings, means of transport, etc.) can be disposed of and, therefore, the company’s liquidity position and solvency improve.
