Warehousing is the process of storing physical inventory for sale or distribution.

Warehousing can facilitate the entire order fulfillment process

  • Capacity planning
  • Receiving inbound shipments
  • Tracking inventory

For instance, many ecommerce businesses will purchase products in bulk from their suppliers, who ship them to their warehouse for storage.

Finally, when products need to go out of the warehouse for shipment, staff needs to retrieve, process, package, load them, and then release them from inventory to allow space for new inbound products.
