Shared and Multi User Warehousing
Multi user warehousing refers to the concept of multiple customers sharing the same physical platform and the same process. It is a scalable, repeatable solution with synergy benefits providing optimal cost, service and quality. Shared user warehousing refers to the concept of several customers sharing the same physical warehouse (segregated) often with different warehouse management systems. These customers do not share the same inbound, storage and outbound processes and DHL Supply Chain implements a customised solution for each customer. Both options can reduce cost, give volume flexibility and provide additional services such as GMP labelling / kitting and managed transportation.
