If you work with reefers and your operations have particular or special needs such as refrigeration services, temperature/environmental/climate control, distribution then you better make sure they offer these.
Perhaps you deal with perishables that need to be handled in a special way. Or perhaps you handle chemicals and other hazardous materials like fuel, which must be store separately from other such materials.
Either way, you better make sure the warehouse is equipped to handle this and has the means to react in the event of an issue.
7. See If They Have Other Customers With Similar Needs As Yours
One of the easiest ways to find the right warehousing company is to find one that already deals with similar branch of customers.
Once the company has dealt with providing particular services, same or similar to the one that you need, then they will be able to better serve! They will have everything in place already, whether it is special storage spaces, ramps, rollers, whatever you might need.
This is fairly easy to figure out, simply ask who their clients are. Let’s say you handle Audi auto parts, if the already have BMW as a client then you’ll know they are familiar with your needs. The same goes if you handle perishables, chemicals, or any other particular freight.
