As much as we write about those in our network who move your freight from place to place, it’s important to recognize the critical role of those network members who don’t go anywhere.
We’re talking about our warehouse partners.
Since not all freight movement involves a single trip from origin to final destination, we have worked hard to build a strong network of warehouse partners with the experience, capacity, technology and – most importantly – commitment to customer service that make them a great fit for Fello and our shipper clients.
Choosing a warehouse partner is not just a matter of finding someone who has space in a convenient location.
During the pandemic, more shippers adopted just-in-time logistics strategies, creating new challenges for warehouse operators in inventory management and efficiency. While that trend has shifted somewhat, warehouse operators have had to adapt their operational strategies, tech investments and staffing. We understand how difficult it can be to keep up with these shifts, which is why we carefully vet our partners to ensure they’re agile enough to meet our clients’ evolving needs.
Every customer has unique requirements, so we’ve built a network focused on diverse, flexible options – allowing us to consistently match shippers with warehouses that fit their specific needs.
While some require strong fulfillment capabilities, others simply need storage space. At Fello, we make sure to pair fulfillment-heavy shippers with teams that specialize in fast, accurate order processing – while matching those who just need space with warehouses that won’t push unnecessary add-ons.
Many clients also need specialized services like transloading or cross-docking. While most warehouses can handle these tasks at a basic level, we know which ones truly excel – those that have made these services core to their operations.
Inventory management is another critical factor. Every warehouse has a system in place, but we partner with those using the latest technology, guaranteeing visibility and responsiveness. Our TMS lets clients track their freight at any stage, and that level of transparency doesn’t stop when the goods are stored.
With robotics-based automation on the rise, warehousing is becoming more efficient, safer for workers and more cost-effective. At Fello, we welcome innovation, but we also dig deeper – asking warehouse partners to show us exactly how their investments enhance security, accuracy and real-time tracking of our clients’ goods.
At the end of the day, our job is to make sure every warehouse partner is the right fit. We don’t just make the match – we stay involved, keeping a close watch on our clients’ freight and ensuring they have full visibility every step of the way.
Our warehouse partners have proven themselves in terms of efficiency, precision, safety, responsiveness, visibility and overall operational excellence. That’s why they’re in our network. And the network partners who stay in one place are every bit as important as the ones out there on the road.
This is how we work with them to make sure our clients are always taken care of.
