Client-owned warehouse management services involve a third-party logistics (3PL) provider like Freightways Global Solutions managing a client's inventory within the client's own warehouse or facility. These services can include professional storage, inventory control, and customized solutions like sampling, auditing, and value-added services, all tailored to the client's specific needs and industry. This model allows companies to leverage a third party's expertise and resources while maintaining ownership and control of their own warehouse space. It allows companies focus on their core-innovation, business development, route-to-market, building partnerships-while outsourcing mundane and repetitive tasks to a third-party.
