A warehouse receipt is a document confirming transfer of goods for storage to a warehouse of a third-party organization. For goods that require certain conditions of storage we use premises with a particular temperature regime, humidity level and ventilation. The products are to be handed over to the owner with a warehouse receipt and a service contract.
Advantages of using a warehouse:
- there is no need to rent the whole warehouse;
- no need to hire personnel, train them;
- no need to purchase expensive equipment for loading and unloading goods;
- packing, sorting, re-sorting, labeling, equipment is already included in the service;
- 24/7 security;
- the owner of the warehouse is responsible for safety of your goods;
