What is Warehouse?

A warehouse is a large building used for storing goods. Warehouses are used by manufacturers, importers, exporters, wholesalers, transport businesses, customs, etc. They are usually large plain buildings in industrial parks on the outskirts of cities, towns or villages. They are equipped with loading docks to load and unload goods from trucks, trains, and ships. Warehouses are often used to store goods for a short period of time before they are shipped to retailers or consumers. Modern warehouses utilize automated systems, such as conveyor belts and robotic systems, to improve efficiency. Warehouse management systems (WMS) are also commonly used to track inventory, manage storage locations, and optimize order fulfillment.
