Warehousing is not merely about storing goods. It involves managing inventory efficiently, ensuring the safety of products, and ensuring timely and accurate distribution. Effective warehousing can reduce costs, enhance service levels, and mitigate risks associated with stock loss or damage. For businesses that rely on a smooth flow of goods from suppliers to end customers, warehousing can be a deciding factor in maintaining operational efficiency.

Acceler Global Logistics’ warehousing services are designed to address these needs and more, providing solutions that optimize storage conditions and streamline distribution processes.

Key Warehousing Services Offered by Acceler Global Logistics

Acceler Global Logistics offers a comprehensive range of warehousing services aimed at improving storage efficiency and distribution reliability. Below are the main services they provide and how they contribute to reducing stock losses and improving distribution networks:

1. Strategically Located Warehouses

Acceler operates a network of strategically located warehouses in key regions such as Nairobi, Mombasa, and other important logistical hubs in Kenya. The placement of these warehouses ensures that goods can be quickly accessed and efficiently distributed to various destinations, reducing the lead time between order placement and delivery.

• Impact on Stock Losses: With warehouses situated near major transport routes and ports, Acceler minimizes the risk of stock losses caused by delays in transit or improper handling. By reducing the time products spend in transit, the risk of product deterioration or damage is significantly lowered.
• Impact on Distribution Networks: Strategic warehouse locations help streamline transportation, cutting down delivery times and enhancing the reliability of the distribution network. This also reduces the possibility of bottlenecks and delays, ensuring that customers receive their products on time.

2. Advanced Inventory Management Systems

To manage inventory efficiently and prevent stock loss, Acceler Global Logistics uses advanced warehouse management systems (WMS). These systems track the movement of goods in real-time, ensuring that businesses can monitor stock levels and locations at all times.

• Impact on Stock Losses: Real-time tracking reduces the chances of stock being misplaced or lost. The WMS also allows for precise stock rotation, ensuring that older stock is used first (FIFO – First In, First Out), which is crucial for perishable goods. This level of inventory accuracy reduces the likelihood of both overstocking and stockouts, leading to fewer instances of unsellable or expired goods.
• Impact on Distribution Networks: Efficient inventory management ensures that products are always available when needed. With real-time updates, businesses can make more informed decisions regarding reordering, reducing delays in fulfilling customer orders and improving the overall flow of goods through the supply chain.

3. Secure and Safe Storage Facilities

Acceler’s warehousing facilities are designed to maintain high security and protect goods from theft, damage, or environmental factors. With the implementation of advanced security measures, including 24/7 surveillance, access control, and professional staff oversight, goods are kept in optimal conditions until they are ready for distribution.

• Impact on Stock Losses: Enhanced security measures reduce the risk of theft and unauthorized access to stored goods. Additionally, the use of climate-controlled environments for temperature-sensitive items ensures that products like pharmaceuticals and perishable goods remain in pristine condition, minimizing losses due to spoilage or contamination.
• Impact on Distribution Networks: The secure storage of goods ensures that products remain intact throughout the storage period, allowing for smooth and efficient distribution. With minimal stock damage or loss, businesses can maintain a reliable supply chain, which positively impacts customer satisfaction and loyalty.

4. Flexible Storage Solutions

Every business has different warehousing needs, which is why Acceler offers flexible storage solutions. Whether businesses require short-term storage for seasonal goods or long-term storage for bulk items, Acceler provides tailored options to meet varying requirements.

• Impact on Stock Losses: The flexibility of storage allows businesses to avoid unnecessary storage costs, which could lead to overstocking and the eventual loss of goods. Additionally, businesses can better manage their inventory levels based on demand fluctuations, reducing the likelihood of holding obsolete stock that could expire or become unsellable.
• Impact on Distribution Networks: Customizable storage solutions enable businesses to adapt to changing market conditions and customer demand. By aligning storage space with actual product requirements, businesses can improve their ability to distribute goods promptly, avoiding delays and optimizing the overall flow of products through the supply chain.

5. Cold Storage Solutions

For industries dealing with perishable goods such as food, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals, Acceler offers specialized cold storage solutions. These facilities are equipped to maintain products at the correct temperature, ensuring that they remain safe and viable for distribution.

• Impact on Stock Losses: Cold storage minimizes the risk of spoilage, ensuring that perishable items are stored under optimal conditions. This significantly reduces waste and product loss, particularly for businesses dealing with sensitive items like food and medicine.
• Impact on Distribution Networks: Cold storage ensures that products remain viable throughout the supply chain, allowing businesses to maintain a steady flow of inventory. Reliable cold storage solutions help businesses meet regulatory standards and customer expectations for the timely delivery of perishable products.

6. Efficient Order Fulfillment

Order fulfillment is a critical aspect of warehousing, and Acceler excels in picking, packing, and shipping orders efficiently. With streamlined processes and modern technology, Acceler ensures that goods are prepared for shipment quickly and accurately.

• Impact on Stock Losses: Efficient order fulfillment ensures that products are picked and packed correctly, reducing the likelihood of errors that could lead to product loss or damage. With proper handling and organization, goods are protected from potential damage during the fulfillment process.
• Impact on Distribution Networks: Faster order fulfillment enables quicker turnaround times for customers, improving the speed of the distribution network. This enhanced efficiency allows businesses to provide better service levels, including on-time deliveries and accurate order fulfillment.
