Introduction
Warehousing is the process of storing physical inventory for sale or distribution. Warehouses are used by all different types of businesses that need to temporarily keep products in bulk before either shipping them to other locations or individually to end consumers. Many organizations have multiple branches, warehouses, and lines of business (LOB). This requires a storage facility until the clients and customers start ordering.
Efficient warehouse management is essential for optimizing supply chain operations, reducing costs, ensuring product availability, and meeting customer demands. An organization with multiple branches, warehouses and line of businesses (LOBs) can be managed with BizGaze’s “Warehouses” app.
