Make.Ship.Happen.® Part 7: Elevating Your Warehouse Operations

Welcome back to the seventh installment of our Make.Ship.Happen.® series. In our last post, we discussed an important topic in today’s interconnected world—international shipping—and explained how TA Services can help shippers manage the complexity of shipping freight internationally. Today, we’re diving into the world of warehouse operations.

Efficient warehouse operations are imperative for a successful supply chain. Warehousing plays a pivotal role in ensuring that goods are stored, organized, and shipped safely and cost-effectively. Many companies rely on TA Services to take a strategic approach and optimize their warehouse operations.

ICYMI: We recently published a case study highlighting the 20+ year warehousing relationship between TA Services and our largest warehousing client.

Every company is different; TA learns the intricacies of your business so we can customize our services to best fit your unique warehousing needs. Taking a collaborative approach, we deliver a solution for efficient and safe operations with coverage wherever you need us to be.

1.   Efficient operations: Cost-saving opportunities

Warehousing inefficiencies can result in unnecessary expenses and delays, ultimately impacting your bottom line. In warehousing, every footstep (or mile on a forklift) equates to dollars spent. We implement several strategies, like slotting, that allow our customers to limit downtime and increase efficiency — all to help reduce unnecessary costs.

2.   Warehouse safety: Protecting our people

In warehousing, accidents can not only result in damage to valuable inventory but also pose a risk to the health and wellbeing of workers. That’s why safety is one of our core values here at TA. We prioritize keeping your products safe and keeping our employees safe. Scheduled safety walks, PPE, color-coded reflective vests, and walking guidelines are just a few of the safety initiatives we implement at our warehouse locations.

3.   Geographic coverage: Unleashing greater capacity

TA has more than 2 million square feet of dedicated and multi-client warehouse space across the United States. That number continues to grow as we prioritize the needs of North American shippers. Even if we don’t have capacity today in a particular location you need, our team can discuss solutions and scale to fit your supply chain needs. Because at TA Services, we’re wherever you need us to be.
