Warehouse rental

Efficient warehouse management starts with choosing a rental model that perfectly aligns with your logistics needs. Whether you store goods for the short term, use storage space long-term, or work with complex calculations based on weight or volume, our Warehouse Management System (WMS) within the Logistic Cloud Suite offers a complete solution. With flexible and insightful functionalities, our system simplifies warehouse rental management and maximizes the efficiency of your storage operations.

Different warehouse rental methods

With our WMS, you can choose from different rental methods based on your business model and storage requirements. Below are the main options:

1. Rental based on weight

In this model, storage costs are calculated based on the weight of the stored goods. This is particularly useful for industries such as raw materials, recycling, or bulk goods.

Example:

A company stores metal rolls, each weighing 500 kg. The storage rate is €0.10 per kilogram per month.

Storage costs per month:

500 kg × €0.10 = €50 per roll

If 20 rolls are stored, the monthly costs amount to €1,000

2. Rental per square meter (m²)

With this method, you pay for the floor area used, regardless of the height or weight of the stored goods.

Example:

An e-commerce company rents 100 m² of warehouse space at a rate of €5 per m² per month.

Storage costs per month:

100 m² x € 5 = € 500.

If demand increases and the company expands to 150 m², costs rise to €750 per month

3. Rental per pallet location

Storage costs are calculated based on the number of pallet locations used. This is popular in sectors where goods are stored on standard pallets.

Example:

A soft drink distributor uses 50 pallet locations in a warehouse where the rate is €10 per pallet location per month.

Storage costs per month:

50 pallet locations × €10 = €500

If more stock arrives and the number of pallet locations increases to 75, the costs amount to €750 per month

4. Rental per cubic meter (m³)

This model is suitable for goods that take up a lot of volume, such as furniture or machines. Here, the rent is calculated based on the cubic meters used.

Example:

A furniture importer uses a warehouse where the rate is €2 per cubic meter per month. The total storage amounts to 300 m³.

Storage costs per month:

300 m³ x € 2 = € 600.

If expanded to 500 m³, costs increase to €1,000 per month

5. Flexible rental models

Here, storage costs may vary depending on seasonal demand or occupancy rate. This is ideal for companies with fluctuating storage needs.

Example:

A fashion company needs less storage space in summer (50 m²) than during the winter season (150 m²). The rate is €5 per m² per month.

Storage costs per month:

• Summer months: 50 m² × €5 = €250 per month

• Winter months: 150 m² × €5 = €750 per month

Warehouse rental for transshipment, bulk storage, and long-term storage

Warehouse rental plays a crucial role in various storage processes within the logistics chain. From fast goods throughput to long-term storage, each type of warehouse usage has specific requirements. Our Warehouse Management System (WMS) within the Logistic Cloud Suite offers the functionalities to seamlessly manage and optimize these processes.

1. Warehouse rental for transshipment

Transshipment focuses on speed and efficiency. Goods are stored for a short period and quickly transferred to the next destination, often within hours or days. In this process, flexible warehouse rental is essential:

Short-term space: Renting warehouse space per day or week, depending on fluctuations in goods flow.

Real-time management: Our WMS tracks available spaces, allowing quick adjustments.

Optimization of throughput flows: The system links transshipment processes to transport planning, minimizing waiting times and costs.

Example:

A transport company receives containers with goods that need temporary storage before being shipped to various distribution centers. With warehouse rental based on square meters and duration, the company can reserve exactly the space and time needed.

2. Warehouse rental for bulk storage

Bulk storage often requires large, adaptable spaces that are used efficiently. This type of storage is commonly used for unpackaged goods, raw materials, or products in large quantities. With our WMS, you can:

Manage rental by weight or volume: Pay for the actual amount of stored goods, such as cubic meters or kilograms.

Create sustainable storage solutions: Our system considers specific storage requirements such as temperature, humidity, or shelf layout.

Ensure efficient space utilization: Smart algorithms logically place goods to maximize storage capacity.

Example:

A grain producer stores bulk quantities of wheat in a 1,000 m³ warehouse. The WMS helps track used space, inventory locations, and associated rental costs, ensuring no unnecessary expenses occur.

3. Warehouse rental for long-term storage

Long-term storage requires stability, insight, and cost control. This is essential for sectors such as retail, manufacturing, or the pharmaceutical industry, where inventory management takes place over several months or years. Our WMS offers:

Fixed rental models: Pricing based on space or pallet locations, ensuring clear cost expectations.

Automated inventory management processes: Real-time insight into stored products, expiration dates, and rotation needs.

Cost optimization: Analysis of long-term storage costs to determine the most cost-effective warehouse layout.

Example:

A retailer stores seasonal products for several months before shipping them to stores. The WMS applies a long-term rental model based on pallet locations, while precisely managing inventory to prevent aging or damage.

Conclusion

Our Warehouse Management System supports all these rental methods, ensuring that you always have a solution tailored to your business operations. Whether you need to calculate storage costs based on weight, area, pallet locations, or volume, our system provides insight and flexibility to optimize your warehouse management.
