What is warehousing & distribution?
Warehousing and distribution connect stock storage with the movement of goods to their next destination. PTN includes both within its supply chain offering. The combined service should be designed around the product, inventory profile, inbound deliveries, and outbound order pattern rather than a space requirement alone.
Who this service is for
- Manufacturers connecting production output to a distribution network.
- Importers seeking storage followed by onward delivery.
- Businesses with changing inventory levels and recurring replenishment needs.
Service scope and operating requirements
How the service is planned
Map the stock flow
Describe how products arrive, their typical dwell time, and how orders leave.
Agree the operating scope
Review suitable space, handling arrangements, records, dispatch cut-offs, and delivery responsibilities.
Plan the start
Confirm facility availability, contacts, documentation, pricing, and the process for exceptions.
What affects the quotation?
Costs can be driven by storage space or unit count, duration, inbound and outbound handling, order profile, and distribution activity. A low stockholding with frequent small dispatches creates a different operating requirement from long-term storage of full pallets.
Information to send with your enquiry
- Product list, packaging type, and storage conditions.

Frequently asked questions
Can I enquire about storage only?
Yes. Use the dedicated Warehousing page to define the storage and handling requirement without assuming distribution is included.
What stock figures should I provide?
Provide both typical and peak inventory, including pallet or package dimensions and weight, so space and handling can be assessed.
Is temperature-controlled storage included?
No such capability is assumed here. Any temperature, segregation, or product-specific storage requirement must be confirmed with the team.
