The right warehouse partner doesn’t just rent you space — they work to understand your business.
In our previous blog post, we covered what you should ask before selecting a 3PL partner. But here’s what many forget:
A great storage provider should be asking you questions, too.
At AJW Warehousing in Winnipeg, we take the time to ask the right questions upfront. That way, we can design smarter warehousing solutions that truly fit your operation.
Your inventory levels aren’t static — and your warehousing plan shouldn’t be either. Understanding your seasonal spikes ensures the right space, staff, and logistics are available when you need them most.
If your current system causes delays, errors, or too much manual work, your warehouse provider should help streamline it. This sets the foundation for fewer errors and better efficiency.
Different products require different storage methods — from pallet racking and floor stacking to specialized or temperature-controlled environments. Without asking, providers can’t guarantee safety or compliance.
Turnover rates affect everything: storage layout, labor planning, and transportation scheduling. A smart warehouse partner factors this into your overall logistics plan.
A full-service 3PL provider can save time and reduce costs by offering integrated logistics — from transportation to fulfillment and final-mile delivery — all under one roof.
If your warehouse partner isn’t asking questions like these, they may not be planning for your long-term success.
At AJW Warehousing, we don’t just store your goods — we help your operations run smoother.
