Dedicated Warehousing in Orlando
When your company wants to outsource warehousing services to a third-party logistics (3PL) expert in Orlando, two broad choices to consider are dedicated and shared warehousing. Shared warehousing, also called multi-client warehousing, refers to situations where numerous companies share the costs of facility space, labor, technology and more. With dedicated warehousing, the entire facility is reserved and customized for one single business. NXTPoint Logistics offers both kinds of flexible, scalable warehousing to its customers, with a focus on dedicated warehousing services in Orlando explored here. With each option, our 3PL inventory management facilitates business growth, with fully compliant processes protecting your business and our cutting-edge warehousing technology providing high levels of visibility.
Benefits of Dedicated Warehousing
With dedicated warehousing, the entire space is designed for your company’s unique requirements in contrast to shared warehousing, where multiple companies’ needs are factored in. This means that pick-pack-ship and other workflows are specifically and solely designed for your business needs, as are the space layouts to provide optimal order fulfillment for your products. NXTPoint Logistics experts who manage your inventory and fulfill orders in your dedicated warehousing space will specifically focus on your business’s products and systems and provide consistent, accurate, branded service.
Dedicated warehouse space customizations at NXTPoint facilities include climate-controlled environments, the ability to handle delicate and oversized inventory management and facilities with advanced security. Facility operations can seamlessly scale up and down according to your requirements and demand, including physical changes and updates to the space and staffing adjustments.
Although NXTPoint proactively prevents order mixups in shared warehousing, with dedicated warehousing, only your company’s products are stored in the facility, reducing the possibility of potential errors. Your company will also benefit from dedicated space for branded packing, labelling and related services.

FAQs
In the logistics industry, dedicated refers to the granting of or access to exclusive services and resources. This includes solo use of warehousing, truck drivers, inventory management staff and more, with each component customized specifically to the requirements of the receiver of the services (for example, the company that chooses to use dedicated warehousing).
By not sharing resources and space with other companies, the business using dedicated warehousing maximizes personalization and focused efficiencies. This makes dedicated warehousing services ideal for businesses with regular high- volume pick-pack-ship needs, especially with time-sensitive delivery requirements and schedules.
Which option is best depends upon your business goals and needs. Shared warehousing involves having multiple companies storing their products under one space with shared inventory management teams. This can be the right choice when a limited amount of space is needed, allowing your company to scale up as business growth occurs. It’s also a smart choice when cost efficiency is prioritized. For many businesses, this broader type of service dovetails with their requirements and budgets.
Dedicated warehousing can be the right choice when your business requires a large amount of space and wants to have control over the facility, which can be customized for very particular needs. In each case, NXTPoint will streamline and optimize your business’s supply chain, leveraging the power of robust technology.
