Use of public warehousing facilities offers distinct benefits over other kinds of product storage and handling programs. The public warehouses within The Delivery Network (APC Warehouse Company, The St. Louis Distribution Company, Depot Warehouse Inc., and Industrial Warehouse Corporation) can multiply the impact of those benefits due to their strategic location, methods of operation, the support services provided and the concern that every employee has for satisfying every customer's needs.

BENEFITS OF USING PUBLIC WAREHOUSING

(General)

• Asset Redeployment:

By assigning raw materials and finished goods management responsibility to warehouse specialists, you free up funds to invest in those aspects of your business that will make it grow.

• No Concerns About Space Availability:

A quality public warehouse can expand and contract space to fit its customers' varying needs. This eliminates your concerns about the seasonal peaks and valleys of your business.

• Reduced Space Costs:

When using a public warehouse, you pay only for the space and services utilized. Such efficiency can translate into significant cost savings.

• Fewer Labor Concerns:

The public warehouse company is responsible for hiring, training and paying warehouse labor; and administering all labor contracts. Overhead savings to you can be substantial. Public warehouses also enjoy an immunity from picketing during strikes. This can help to maintain a steady flow of your product during times of labor troubles.
