What does logistics mean? 

Logistics is part of the supply chain process that plans, implements and controls the efficient, effective forward and reverse flow and storage of goods, services and related information between the point of origin and the point of consumption in order to meet customer’s requirements.  

Some of the key activities involved in this are packaging, transporting, warehousing. The ultimate objective is that you want the receiver, who is often your customer to receive the right goods at the promised time and location. 

Warehousing 

When businesses choose to have their warehousing, it generally means that there are a lot of products that simply can’t be stored in a storeroom. But one problem does arise: having your own warehouse can be expensive. Luckily for you, we have a solution for you: choose WSI’s warehousing facility. As the most trusted container transport & logistics provider, WSI offers both long and short-term storage solutions for your warehousing needs.

To keep our warehouses safe and hazard free, we teach our workers about the most common causes of injuries. This way, they can better recognise and avoid hazards, improving warehouse safety. NSW has many regulations designed to keep people safe while working in warehouses. Here at WSI Group, we take safety seriously and with the many WHS regulations in place, we ensure compliance at all times. 

Bond Facility  

Our under bond warehouses are secured warehouse facilities that are covered by customs rules. By storing goods in a bonded warehouse, taxes and duties are withheld until the cargo is dispatched for home distribution or export.

Companies that export products, materials and items abroad commonly use bonded warehousing facilities to store their products. Using this kind of warehousing facility is an optional service but businesses that would like to ensure that their products are safely and legally delivered to their customers avail of bonded warehousing services.

Our container transport company offers a complete bonded warehouse service to clients, so that they have a one-stop solution for warehousing, as well as transport to their final destination.

Transport and logistic providers: 

Transport and logistics providers are responsible for making sure that the movement of your containers is well protected and is not damaged once it reaches you. The providers are supposed to make your life easier so that you are able to run your business smoothly. Hence, a big part of their job is to make sure that you receive the correct containers at the right time and place without having the quality being compromised along the way. 

The common freight shipping methods are:

Full truckload shipping (FTL)

This option is ideal when you move cargo or pallet loads that are enough to justify the use of a whole semi-trailer.

Less than truckload shipping (LTL)

When you need to haul a few pallets of freight but not a full truckload, this might be the best option. This mode operates in a hub and spoke structure, where local terminals pick up your freight and operate as spokes and the bigger, central terminals are the hubs. 

Expedited LTL shipping

Going this route eliminates potential delays in an effort to get goods where they need to be as fast as possible. While this comes with a premium price tag, the benefits can outweigh the costs, especially in time-sensitive situations.

Intermodal freight transportation

When your shipment is moving a long distance between major metro areas with flexible delivery times, intermodal transportation is an ideal choice. Freight moves by a combination of transportation modes such as rail, trucks and ships to streamline the process, making this choice eco-friendly and cost effective.
