WAREHOUSING AND INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
At the core of Philadelphia Business Services’s industry leading order fulfillment services are proven warehousing and distribution capabilities that are delivered by our dedicated and experienced staff, and supported by our powerful enabling technology.
SHIPPING, DISTRIBUTION AND WAREHOUSING FACILITIES
INBOUND RECEIVING
An efficient supply chain begins with the timely, accurate receipt and inspection of inbound materials. We coordinate with our customers through the use of an ASN process so that receiving staff is ready for the incoming package, LTL or container shipment. Our trained warehouse professionals manage the inbound receipt of client materials and adjusting inventory records on a real time basis. We also employ RF technology to manage movement and location of goods. Higher level inspections services such as detailed quality reviews and weigh counting of materials is normal for our staff to provide.
WAREHOUSE MANAGEMENT
Philadelphia Business Services offers thousands of square feet of warehouse space with the ability to handle in excess of 5,000 pallet positions. Products are stored in bulk pallet locations, forward pick area shelves or in a secure environment for high value goods. Our warehouse management systems manage the locations of the goods for real time reporting of inventory levels and movement of product.
INVENTORY CONTROL
Philadelphia Business Services’s automated systems facilitate accountability for movement of all inventoried items throughout the entire warehousing, production and fulfillment cycle. We also provide serial number, lot and expiration date tracking of products. Bar coding technology helps to insure data integrity of all inventoried items and accuracy during the fulfillment process.
