Sooo… What is warehousing?

Warehousing is the process of storing goods in a facility until they are needed for distribution or sale. It plays a crucial role in the supply chain by providing storage space, inventory management, and order fulfillment services to businesses across various industries. We’re here to help with this process!

Here’s what we can offer:

Fulfillment and Pick & Pack Solutions: Whether you’re a brick-and-mortar business, completely digital, or something in between, UCanTrade offers third-party fulfillment services to help complete your distribution. Combined with our Pick and Pack process, you’ll be able to ship throughout the United States and Canada easier than ever. When you receive an order from a US-based customer, our linked systems automatically electronically forward the order and shipping information to UCT where we pick, pack, and ship from the warehouse to any of America’s 50 states.

Customer Satisfaction Processing: If the customer needs to return the product for any reason (such as the wrong size or color of an item), our staff can handle and process returns on your behalf, eliminating border delays and costly international shipping fees.

Strategic Location: We have two conveniently located warehousing facilities in Ferndale, Washington, 15 miles (24 km) from the border on I-5 – or our Auburn facility 13 miles (21 km) strategically located near the Port of Tacoma and 24 miles (39 km) from the Port of Seattle. From these locations, we can swiftly deliver your products to any destination within the United States.

Temperature/Humidity Monitoring: From lifesaving medical tkits to perishable items, our facilities can provide the ability to store products at any required temperature or humidity ensuring safety and reliability for even your most delicate items.

Value-Added Services: In addition to storage and fulfillment, UCanTrade offers a range of value-added services to enhance your warehousing experience. These services can include transloading, cross-docking, order fulfillment and much more.

Cost-Effective Solutions: By outsourcing warehousing to UCanTrade, you can reduce overhead costs associated with maintaining your own facilities, such as rent, utilities, and staffing. Our cost-effective solutions help you optimize your supply chain operations and improve your bottom line.

Especially if your business is solely online, we can supply the missing brick in your click. To speed up fulfillment and save our partners even more time and money, we can integrate our warehouse management system with your digital storefront, enabling you to outsource your fulfillment logistics and monitor everything in real-time.

This system links UCanTrade’s fulfillment and inventory management systems with your in-house inventory system, eliminating duplicate orders and inventory manifests while updating instantly, so you know exactly what your numbers look like on both sides of the border.
