Warehouse Shifting

If you choose to send all restock orders to the new warehouse, be sure to carefully monitor the inventory left at the old warehouse so you don’t end up with backorders. A robust warehouse management system (WMS) should help with this—for example, Airhouse’s inventory and restock dashboards make it easy to monitor inventory levels in real time, set automatic notifications when inventory reaches a certain threshold, and send restock to multiple destinations.

Moving warehouse inventory is no one’s first choice, so chances are you’ve explored other solutions first, like negotiating better rates with your 3PL or making operational changes to maximize efficiency in your current warehouse location.
