Warehousing management deals with the storage, inventory and fulfillment of products and goods. These goods are stored, then later distributed to other facilities, clients or businesses. Because of this, Warehousing management can also be known as redistribution management. It plays a vital role in completing the production management and marketing process for businesses. Without this essential role, finished goods would never make it to the customers, dealers or distributors.

Warehousing and redistribution companies either work as public or private public operating services. Though many manufacturers have their own warehousing units, there are many who hire companies to lease warehouse space for a particular period of time. In the case of private warehousing facilities, goods are received from a warehouse, processed in a factory and then sent back to the same or another warehouse for storage and distribution.

While in the case of a contract or hired warehousing and redistribution company, the functions can be listed as follows:

• Warehousing: First and foremost, a warehouse company provides space for products and goods to be securely stored
• Inventory management: All the inventory is captured and stored. There is systematic recording and balancing of all incoming and outgoing shipments.
• Quality Control: Authorization system of checks and balances to ensure order is accurate when received and sent
• Redistribution: As per instructions by the client, the sorted inventory is redistributed to the manufacturer or the dealer.
• Pick, Pack, and Ship: Picking individual product and re-packaging for selected destinations.
• Tracking: Provides tracking or reference number to track status of shipment or proof of delivery.
• Customized Software Solutions: Seamless integration of online ordering: pick, pack and ship direct to end user locations and GL Code/Cost Center check out with complete tracking through the whole process.
