Cost-effective warehousing: Is maintaining your own warehouse the best solution?

Companies that need space to storage, assembly, packaging or production have most likely been faced with various choices. Either build your own warehouse, assemble products in your store, rent a stock-office type warehouse or look for other solutions? If you can no longer fit on the existing space and you are thinking about a big investment like a new warehouse or you simply want to make your business more convenient and efficient, our recommendation is to consider using a specialized warehouse service partner as the first thing before making big financial decisions. In the following, we will talk a little more about why.

Flexibility and efficient use of space

When choosing storage space, it is difficult to estimate exactly how much space you really need and what would be an effective shelving arrangement. If you choose a room that is too small, your goods may not fit there. If you choose a room that is too large, part of the room will remain empty and you will pay for the excess space. With Logistika Pluss service, you only pay for the volume you actually use, thereby ensuring optimal cost management. In addition, you can be sure that if your company expands or your business model changes, we have the flexibility to adapt the volume and type of services to your new needs. This means you don’t have to worry if your business needs change over time – we’re ready to grow with you.

Location advantages

If you choose a space where to store your goods, it is important to consider the infrastructure there. In places with poor transport connections, it is often difficult to find employees and also customers. The head office and warehouse of Logistika Pluss are located in the city of Tallinn on Lasnamäe, which ensures quick and convenient access. Our second logistics center is located on the outskirts of the city in Iru, which is strategically well located, close to the main highways. Our locations are close to functioning public transport, which makes access easier for both employees and customers.

Process efficiency

Implementing work processes and getting them up and running effectively requires a lot of resources. How much staff you need to hire, how much warehouse equipment you need, how often the cleaner needs to come and which internet provider to choose – these are just some of the questions you have to deal with. As a professional warehouse service provider, we have thoroughly optimized our processes and keep them constantly up-to-date. Logistika Pluss has many years of experience in providing warehouse services, which means that our team can solve various logistics problems and offer solutions even in more complex situations. Our long-term customer relationships and positive feedback confirm that we are a reliable partner you can rely on. Thanks to our experience, we can quickly adapt to changing needs and ensure that your goods are always managed safely and efficiently.

Technological support and transparency

When running your own warehouse, you need to invest in technological solutions that enable tracking of goods, inventory management and order fulfillment. In addition, these systems must be consistently maintained and kept up-to-date, especially in today’s world full of cyber threats. All this in turn requires resources from you. Logistika Pluss uses modern technologies and software solutions that ensure a real-time overview of inventory and logistics operations and many different performance metrics that help keep the warehouse efficient. We also pay a lot of attention to cyber security. A world class warehouse management system helps in minimizing errors and speeding up the workflow, which in turn increases efficiency and reduces costs. This is proven by our extremely high service quality index –  99.8%.

If additional services are required

The services of Logistika Pluss are very diverse and can be adapted to your particularities and needs. We are constantly doing various value-added projects.
