A Distribution Warehouse Can Make or Break Your Holiday Season

There’s a good reason to have great team members during the holiday season. When inventory and orders absolutely need to be there, it pays to be close by and to have a partner who can offer the right distribution warehouse services in the Minneapolis, Minnesota area when you need them most.

We have the services and expertise to match your every need.

After more than 30 years in the business, Strategic Warehousing knows what you’re up against during the holiday rush. Our advantage is that we listen carefully to your needs and then customize our services to help you get the job done right and seamlessly meet your goals.

In our distribution warehouses, we use Logimax®, a real-time inventory control system. It does what you’d expect; it helps you stay on top of your inventory. We utilize RFID barcode scanning for simple, foolproof, and time-efficient management of incoming and outgoing inventory and shipments. It also means no wasted storage space, and you’ll lose fewer products before they reach your customers.

Strategic Warehousing’s pick and pack services can turnaround orders quickly, no matter what the product or category might be. You can also login to our secure customer digital dashboard from work, home, or the road to get an instant overview or detailed report of your company’s inventory, shipping, and other needs.

Our goal is absolute customer satisfaction.

The strategic advantage for you (among many others) is a distribution warehouse system that is efficient, saves you money, and lowers your bottom-line costs. Our customers say it better than we ever could:

 We are a major food distributor with distribution across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. That means at any one time we have countless trucks and transporters in transit all over the region and often times the country. When that’s the case we need a warehousing and 3PL partner that integrates seamlessly into our operations, that intuitively understands our business goals and daily needs and proactively gets out there in front of them. That’s how we feel about Strategic Warehousing.

Warehousing and Logistics Can Boost Your Revenue

No one has any respect for someone who can’t even organize a PTA bake sale. Okay, that’s an extreme example, but you’ll have to agree that the stakes and needs for great management and control tools are quite a bit higher in this age of inventory control and customer fulfillment. It really matters when it comes to deciding who your firm will partner with on warehousing and logistics in St. Paul, Minnesota, and the upper Midwest.

Put our experience to work for you.

At Strategic Warehousing, we’ve been focusing on the important behind-the-scenes details for more than three decades. We’ve become the area’s leading warehousing provider and can offer logistics solutions that allow you to focus on bigger things, like growing your revenues.

Warehousing and Logistics

We know that accurate inventory counts allow you to make better warehousing and logistics decisions. You won’t have to wait until you run out of an item before knowing it’s time to reorder and restock. Utilizing more opportunities for automation also means better use of space, and it could very well lead to additional room to store more inventory.

We have the technologies and services that make the difference.

Strategic Warehousing is more than just a great place for storage. We are an integrated, full-service 3PL provider. This means we can help if you need custom pick and pack fulfillment, real-time inventory management, and flexible warehousing solutions. We handle everything from food-grade needs to bulk and fully packaged storage for several manufacturers you’ve certainly heard of before.

But don’t take our word about how well we listen and can assist your business; our pleased customers say it best:

“As a national logistics company, we provide door-to-door trucking services from any point in the United States. We need a warehousing and smart storage partner who understands the fast-moving nature of our business and who can provide the support we need in terms of real-time data tracking, 24/7 support, and flexible, money-saving storage options. That’s why we partner with Strategic Warehousing.”

Our EDI Capabilities are Your Highway Crossing to Greater Success

You’ve heard it said before: knowledge is power. It’s also a pathway to greater profits when you can leverage the value of real-time data management and smart storage. At Strategic Warehousing of Minneapolis, Minnesota, we know it pays to keep current on your inventory, shipping, and customer demand. Our EDI (electronic date interchange) capabilities are just what you need to maintain a critical edge.

As the region’s leading warehousing provider, you could say we’ve seen it all in the more than 30 years we’ve offered warehousing and logistics services to businesses large and small. EDI helps us help you to take your inventory control and storage needs to the next level.

How does EDI work?

Think of an electronic data interchange like you would a big highway crossroads, like Interstates 35W and 494 in the Southern Metro area. Instead of just assuming that there will be slow-downs from heavy traffic around the drive-time hours, you could be tracking the real-time movement of vehicles carrying your valuable cargo. Instead of keeping you on top of just one interchange, EDI will simplify logistics management and allow you to smoothly track that cargo all over the Twin Cities and beyond.

EDI capabilities

At Strategic Warehousing, we know that staying up-to-date is essential to meet the needs of your customers, partners, and any vendors you’re working with. EDI capabilities allow you to keep up with changing requirements and maintain a competitive edge.

Strategically using EDI to power your business saves time and money.

As a result of EDI, you’ll have more accurate data to start the day, and as a result, you’ll know you can get more cargo through the interchange analogy we’ve been using. Part of the reason is how accurate the data is because it wasn’t entered manually, and there is less chance for potentially expensive human error.

We invite you to sit down with one of our strategic consultants today to explore how greater precision, better workflows, and improved decisions can benefit your business, no matter what the industry.

Our partners will tell you that our EDI capabilities are among several reasons why Strategic Warehousing has become the region’s distribution warehouse and logistics leader. Our customized service is among the many advantages that set us apart. If you have any questions or would like more information, contact us today at (651) 405-1920. We’re ready to help move your inventory more efficiently and boost your bottom line in Minneapolis, MN or any of the many cities we serve.

 

 

We’ll Sweat the Shipment Tracking Whether It’s Across the Metro Area or the Entire Country

Don’t you hate it when you misplace something around the house? You look high and low, and, luckily, what you’re searching for usually shows up. When it comes to the world of warehousing and inventory, however, your products should never be lost or misplaced! Delays, poor communication, and lack of good shipment tracking never impress clients in St. Paul, MN and elsewhere, and it can cost you far more than money.

Warehousing Service

At Strategic Warehousing, we understand the issue, and we promise that you and your inventory won’t ever be an afterthought. For more than 30 years, we’ve provided personalized, responsive warehousing and logistics services to our clients, whatever their needs.

The best shipment tracking begins with the best technology.

From our perspective, good, accurate shipment tracking starts with even better technology. We believe in real-time data management. There’s something empowering about being able to log in to our secure customer data dashboard and quickly get the answers you need. Whether you’re at work, home, or on the road, you can get an instant overview or a detailed report of your company’s inventory, shipping, and project needs.

Knowledge is power in an ever-changing business environment.

That’s a lot fewer gray hairs if a client wants a shipment update and you need to give them some answers in short order. As the saying goes, knowledge is power, and Strategic Warehousing’s tracking systems are a logistics superpower and timesaver rolled into one.

But don’t take our word for it. Here’s what one of our happy customers has to say about us:

“As a national logistics company, we provide door-to-door trucking services from any point in the United States. We need a warehousing and smart storage partner who understands the fast-moving nature of our business and who can provide the support we need in terms of real-time data tracking, 24/7 support, and flexible, money-saving storage options. That’s why we partner with Strategic Warehousing.”

We Deliver as Inflation Concerns Demand Better Inventory Management

There’s no doubt these are turbulent times when it comes to maintaining supply chains and ensuring adequate inventories. In some cases, certain businesses are considering leasing or even building new warehouse space to avoid future disruption risks in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and other parts of the metro area. At Strategic Warehousing, we think that better inventory management is a critical element in helping you satisfy consumer demand.

Up to Date Technologies

Meeting your needs by utilizing up-to-date technologies to provide quick and efficient services.

We use RF barcode scanning to keep track of your valuables in the more than 500,000 square feet of space we have available in strategic locations around the Twin Cities. We prefer barcodes because they’re easy to use, reliable, and offer us a quick way to manage inventory and shipments as they come and go.

Smart Storage

Our focus is on practicing Smart Storage, a just-in-time inventory management system that’s meant to offer more options and ultimately save you money as your business and goods are in constant motion. But we understand if inflation should make you take a hard look at holding onto inventory and the costs that go along with that decision. Some believe that holding onto inventory at certain levels can pay for itself in an environment of rising prices if it means a business can avoid being out of stock and losing potential sales.

Inventory Management

We provide dependable flexibility to respond quickly to customer and market demands.

Whatever your decision, Strategic Warehousing’s inventory management flexibility means we can quickly boost or cut down your storage space based upon your needs and the demands of your customers. Our goal is to help you avoid paying for space you don’t need, but we’re ready if prices, market conditions, and inventory availability make you change your mind.

There are several reasons why Strategic Warehousing has become the region’s distribution warehouse and logistics leader. Our responsive and customized service is among the many advantages that set us apart. Contact us today at (651) 405-1920 to discuss your inventory management needs. We’re ready to help your business run more efficiently and boost its bottom line in Minneapolis, MN or any of the many cities we serve in the metro area.

We Bring Logic to Warehouse Management and Cost Control

At Strategic Warehousing, we’re where you want us to be, and we combine it with a cost control mindset we know you’ll admire. With more than 500,000 square feet of warehouse space in places like St. Paul and other parts of the metro area, there’s far more to the term “strategic” than the fact that it’s part of our name. It’s a part of the way we think, how convenient our locations are, and what we bring to the constant struggle that is warehouse management.

Meeting your specific needs with unmatched control and efficiency.

It pays to have a storage and distribution partner who not only has the day-to-day operations under control but can also take a much wider and longer view of your needs. At Strategic Warehousing, we’re always thinking of ways we can help you cut costs while keeping an eye on using labor efficiently and constantly boosting performance.

We utilize state-of-the-art systems and real-time inventory.

One of our key ways of keeping a competitive edge in the marketplace is how we use technology to guide how we manage your warehouse operations. Along every step of the way, our process at Strategic Warehousing is guided by a state-of-the-art warehouse management system that utilizes the power of Logimax, a real-time inventory and shipment data system. We use it to give us the knowledge needed to make decisions about our streamlined Smart Storage process.

Our cost-effective services and customized solutions will save you time and money.

Smart means better, timelier decisions that are sure to be meaningful to your bottom line. And Logimax allows us to provide fool-proof and cost-efficient logistics services for every customer’s specific needs. We realize that one size does not fit all, and that’s why a conversation with one of our experts can easily lead to a customized solution that will give your business a competitive edge.

You’ll be glad you discovered why Strategic Warehousing has become the region’s distribution warehouse and logistics leader. Our personalized and responsive service is among the many advantages that set us apart. Contact us today at (651) 405-1920 to discuss your warehouse management needs.

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.

We’re Your Strategic Advantage in Parcel Shipment

What good is a logistics company if it can’t help your business deliver on that final mile, on time, to the most important client of all—your customer? It’s a question well worth pondering as consumers get even more comfortable buying items online and expecting those goodies to be delivered quickly in St. Paul, Minnesota and across the metro area.

Don’t Allow Your Inventory Fulfillment Needs to Slow You Down

Location, location, location! Just like it pays to locate a gas station at the intersection of the two busiest roads in an area, it pays to select the right warehouse location. This is especially true if faster inventory fulfillment is one of your business needs and something your customers expect in the Minneapolis, Minnesota, area.

Warehousing and Inventory Management When and Where You Need It

At Strategic Warehousing, we’re taking warehousing and inventory management to the next level. Our efforts begin with storage locations situated near some of the most heavily traveled roadways in the metro area. We also offer the kind of flexibility to handle all types of products, plus the ability to pick and ship those items quickly.

Inventory Fulfillment

Our philosophy for inventory fulfillment is the opposite of a one-size-fits-all-sort-of strategy. We understand that your firm might have a large inventory or that maybe you require a hands-on pick-and-pack operation that takes extra care to ensure fragile items arrive in one piece. We’re ready to design a program to fit your individual needs.

Utilizing Cutting Edge Technology to Maximize Efficiency

Strategic Warehousing uses the latest technology to offer you the control and efficiency you wouldn’t be able to duplicate if your team handled inventory fulfillment in-house. Logimax is our real-time inventory control system that allows us to maximize storage space, speed up product turnaround, and create a time-saving process that is guaranteed to lower costs, no matter what category your business is in.

Improve Your Services and Reduce Your Stress

While Strategic Warehousing is handling your warehousing fulfillment chores, you’ll be able to devote the time you save to develop new products or maybe new areas in which to market your items, or you’ll be able to invent ways to make your customer service experiences even better.

If you and your team feel yourselves being stressed while dealing with the recent holiday season, imagine how nice it would be to have your inventory fulfillment needs handled by skilled teams that are able to scale-up quickly to handle a sudden spike in orders.

For more than 30 years now, Strategic Warehousing has been the region’s distribution warehouse and logistics leader. You’ll find our personalized and responsive service is among the many attributes that set us apart from our competitors.

Real-time means getting real about inventory that just isn’t moving—it’s dead, for lack of a better term. Dead stock is lost revenue, and to make matters worse, you’re paying to store it.

Just-In-Time Inventory

Depending on how well you get to know your customers our warehouse management system can help guide to you to a just-in-time inventory strategy that works. Helping you keep just what you need to fulfill orders during certain times of the year, avoiding excess stock, and, of course, saving on costs.

Consistency

At Strategic Warehousing, we know that consistency counts and we’re now living in an Amazon world. Customers of this online giant have come to take for granted just how efficient its fulfillment system is. While we can’t prevent Amazon from raising the bar, our warehouse management systems can help make it a more even fight. It’s certainly worthwhile if it results in happier customers, greater loyalty, bigger sales, and a boost in your reputation too.
