Warehousing services

Whatever your warehousing needs, our global footprint and extensive network means we have facilities ready to handle your supply chain, whether at origin or destination. By combining shipping with warehousing and distribution, you benefit from a seamless end-to-end solution with fewer logistic service providers. Complexity is reduced, and you gain speed, control and visibility.

Consolidation centres

A warehouse perfectly placed and connected to your sourcing areas can combine materials and goods pre-export, helping you optimise your landside movements and container loads.

Our portfolio comprises bonded and non-bonded warehouses, facilities located within free trade zones, and others near/within ports for easy transfer to ship.

We offer domestic and regional/international consolidation, including multi-country consolidation. Offered at several international hubs, including our major East-West transshipment hub at Tanjung Pelepas in Malaysia, these facilities offer multi-country consolidation and a host of product customisation services, within the free trade zone.

Deconsolidation centres

When your cargo arrives at its destination market, keep your goods flowing through the supply chain without missing a beat. Many of our facilities are ideally situated close to key ocean ports for major shipping routes, allowing faster throughput of your cargo.

Our deconsolidation solutions have multiple service offerings depending on where your cargo needs to go - straight transload, or building consignments direct to distribution centres or final destinations.

Our facilities also offer pit-stop solutions: late localisation and customisation with a wide range of value-added services, all supported by industry-leading Warehouse Management Systems.

When flexibility to minimise go-to-market efforts matters, our specialised services can offer you a competitive advantage (e.g. product customisation, quality controls, re-packing, returns management or product disposal).

Finally, combine your warehousing with The Auto Farm Inc.' vast network of inland transportation - road, rail or barge - for a truly seamless solution from factory to store.

Fulfilment Centres

When you need to pick, pack and fulfil orders close to market, a fulfilment centre is the ideal solution. These facilities handle receipt, storage, pick & pack and order fulfilment, and are supported by industry-leading Inventory Managment Systems. Infrastructure goes from regional to domestic distribution centres. To complement the service, we also offer a wide variety of value-added services like labelling, packaging and quality inspections, all arranged to suit your order fulfilment needs.

Technology and Automation

Our warehousing solutions are underpinned by investment in technology, automation and robotics. We are steadily expanding our fleet of AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles), automated sorters and hybrid systems, all of which deliver superior picking efficiencies.

All this is supported by our IT landscape consisting of best-in-class Warehouse Management Systems, providing you with integration capabilities, visibility and improved accuracy, allowing you to be agile and respond quickly to any events in the supply chain.

Distribution services

For a seamless fulfilment solution, combine order processing with distribution services to handle the last leg of your supply chain. We can handle product deliveries via Full Truck Loads (FTL), Less than Truck Loads (LTL) or parcels to suit your requirements; whether that's to DCs, Wholesalers, Shop or end-consumer.

Overview and introduction of Distribution services

Full Truck Loads

Benefit from economies of scale and productivity when shipments are large enough to require the use of the entire truck. Reduce transit time by direct deliveries to final destination and avoid cargo to be handled en route.

Parcel Delivery

When speed, individualisation and specialisation of delivery services matters, parcel delivery becomes the most optimal transportation mode.

Less than Truck Loads

Take advantage from the transportation of relatively small freight at a fraction of the cost of hiring an entire truck for an exclusive shipment. Reduce handling costs and the risk of damage during transit by configuring shipments with the least amount of handling units possible.

Value added services

Cargo sorting

The sorting center handles and sorts your cargo based on your requirements (e.g. sorting of cartons on customer PO level).

Scanning

For fast, easy and accurate inventory management, our facilities make use of barcode scanner technology to scan cargo as per your requirements (e.g. carton barcode scanning).

Labelling

Label printing and placing according to your requirements (e.g. any type of pallet or carton labelling, inner carton label, etc).

Kitting & Product Customisation

Our customisation services give you the flexibility to create bundles or customised product for any market or customer requirements (e.g. SKU building, bundling, product boxing, localising or kitting).

Garments on hangers

For clothing packaging that requires the utmost care, we offer dedicated Garment on Hanger facilities to ensure garments can travel from origin to destination without being folded.

Re-packaging

We assist you with packing or repackaging of cargo based on specified requirements (e.g. repacking cargo from damaged box into a new box).

Quality controls

Quality control procedures can be worked into your goods flow as per your requirements (e.g. checking if product is still functioning).

Reporting

We can bring visibility on your inventory though the creation of customised reports (e.g. KPI reports).

Pallet Logistics

Both origin and destination facilities can store and transport cargo stacked on pallets as a unit load.

Shaving/topping off pallets

If your supply chain has specific height requirements, adjust the height of a pallet by removing the upper layer(s) of cartons.

Return solutions

Where reverse logistics are required, we can support your operations by managing your goods return flows into the warehouse.

Goods disposal

Should it be required, our facilities are equipped to handle goods disposal for products or parts.
