Warehousing

Our services are not simply about transportation and distribution; we are also supply chain and warehouse management specialists. Increasingly we manage our customers’ complete supply chain. This involves the management of our customers’ inventory including specialist, value-add and timed distribution services. We also provide customer specific solutions to support various parts of their operations including direct delivery, home delivery and reverse logistics.

Warehouse management: To outsource an existing warehouse and distribution function to a third party, it is a major step and one that could carry considerable risk unless managed and implemented with the utmost precision. We minimise this risk by working with you to implement services step by step and at a pace that best suits your circumstances.

Advanced high bay warehousing: Clearway’s high bay facilities feature narrow aisle racking with pallet capacity varying at each location. These warehouses also feature super flat floors and also incorporate wire guidance systems for material handling equipment.

Inventory control: We have implemented a warehouse Radio Frequency system that transmits data to and from terminals based on material handling equipment and walkabouts. Our inventory management system has full connectivity to our network. In future this will allow us to track a consignment from picking within our warehouse to loading on our trucks to delivery to the destination.

Cycle counting: Inventory cycle counts are performed on a continuous basis by our dedicated inventory management teams. Cycle count frequency is decided in conjunction with Clearway customers.

Pick and pack: Our technology has the capability to pick per bill of materials and using differing inventory policies for example LIFO and FIFO methods of issue. Each pick is verified by a part number, bar code verification. Clearway’s technology facilitates the bar code capture, display and archiving of product, serial number, data (including customer references).

Activity based warehousing: Clearway operates a flexible warehousing policy, enabling our customers to store as little or as much of their products as necessary and at specified times. This allows our customers to pay for Clearway services against a flexible activity based cost model.
