Unievo Logistics owns and operates 3PL Warehouses that lease the space to other companies. Our warehouses function as outsourced logistics operations wherein other businesses or individuals can receive, hold/store, and ship their goods.
Our Fulfillment center encompasses all aspects of logistics – from receiving, storage, processing, and filling customer orders, to picking, packing, and shipping. And for some companies, such as start-up E-commerce businesses, having these activities done on their behalf is very important.
Like fulfillment centers, our contract warehouses are a subtype of 3PL warehouses. The difference is that, instead of operating on a first-come, first-serve basis like a basic 3PL warehouse, Unievo Logistics contract warehouses guarantee storage space whenever it’s needed.
Here’s how Unievo Logistics Bonded service warehouses work:
- A business contracts with the bonded warehouse proprietor to store their goods
- The liability for the stored, bonded goods transfers to the warehouse proprietor
- The proprietor pays the duties when the goods are sold from the warehouse
- If the goods or items are not sold or end up being distributed internationally, the proprietor liability and duty tax don’t apply
Bonded warehouses are generally used by companies engaged in import/export and cross-border trade.
Warehouses typically store goods for longer periods, whereas warehouse distribution centers temporarily store goods while they are prepared for routing to the retailer.
We offer cross-docking services in our warehouse where goods from inbound trucks are sorted and routed to outbound trucks for final delivery to the end-user.
Here’s how cross-docking warehouses work:
- Goods come into the warehouse from various inbound trucks
- They’re sorted and distributed among outbound trucks assigned to particular routes
- The trucks go door-to-door or business-to-business delivering that day’s goods
Climate-controlled warehouses store perishable or other sensitive items that require specific temperatures and/or moisture ranges.
They use specialized HVAC systems, dehumidifiers, thermostats, and insulation to maintain internal airflow, temperature, and moisture levels.
These systems and controls help limit the loss of integrity when storing items like produce, meat, artwork, and pharmaceuticals.
Hazardous materials warehouses are similar to temperature-controlled warehouses in that both have to maintain high storage standards.
Unievo Logistics hazmat warehouses specialize in – you guessed it – storing hazardous materials, including things like:
- Gasses and chemicals
- Weapons, ammunition, and explosives
- Radioactive materials
- Biological materials, including viruses, bacteria, and communicable diseases
Reverse logistics refers to the process of deciding what happens to an item once it’s returned.
In some cases, the item may simply be repackaged and resold.
In other cases, it may be destroyed, recycled, repaired, or refurbished.
Unievo Logistics warehouse facility is solely dedicated to this process, handles reverse logistics activities along with normal warehousing operations like picking, packing, and shipping goods.
