FedEx, based right here in Memphis, TN, has recently added a new tool that will allow residential customers to schedule and reroute deliveries. I think we have been frustrated with shipping at one time or another when we’ve missed a package due to not being home to sign for it. Their new tool is designed to alleviate that frustration. This will also help companies like us who do order fulfillment because sometimes deal with customer dissatisfaction, but we have no control over final delivery procedures once the order leaves our warehouse.

We’ve been in the warehousing business in Memphis, TN for a long time. We opened our first warehouse here in 1948, though we’ve moved to a different part of the city since then. Warehousing has been around for a lot longer than that, though.

Here’s an interesting story about an ancient Egyptian warehouse, discovered fairly recently:
Who knows, maybe several thousand years from now someone will be publishing an article about the ancient warehouse they’ve unearthed here in what used to be a place called Memphis…
Recently we’ve been doing a little research into frozen storage. Being a smaller public warehouse here in Memphis, TN, we’re trying to gauge the demand and availability of frozen storage for smaller accounts our size. Ideally, we’d love to be able to offer refrigerated storage and frozen storage immediately, but it’s hard to gauge just how much these services are needed. Currently, there is one large provider of frozen storage here in Memphis, but we’re unaware of their account size minimums and availability.
We do not only provide customized storage solutions that aligns with your business, but also provide a range of other warehousing services, which includes fulfilment, returns management, packaging, specialty wrapping, transportation, logistic support, customized logistic process, supply chain management, distribution, inventory control, door-to-door transport, pick and pack operations, cross dock distribution, labelling, temperature controlled storage solutions, food grade facilities, and so on.
I came across this article in a membership newsletter from the IWLA. This seems like it could have some interesting impacts on logistics and warehousing, and even though Memphis doesn’t have a deep water port, we are the distribution capital of the US. More and faster freight will likely mean more storage and distribution for public warehouses like us in Memphis.

Moving freight is a tough task that needs experience and expertise, because there is a lot at stack. Only the deliverables are not at stack here, but the commitment and trust. And, any mishap here can lead to the company having a bad market reputation, and would certainly impact the customer satisfaction it provides negatively.
It is a known fact that having an in-house logistic department can enhance a company’s overall operational cost by a great margin, and this also affects the net profit and the benefits that the company wants to pass on to their clients. A smooth logistic operation is essential to the success of the company and the customer satisfaction it provides to its customers.
