What is virtual warehousing?

A virtual warehouse is a type of data warehouse—a large store of data accumulated from a wide range of sources used to guide management decisions. In this case, the warehouse keeps tabs on companywide inventory data.

In general, virtual warehouses support faster order fulfillment while reducing transportation costs, labor costs and service times. Specific examples include automatic order fulfillment determination as well as aggregating low-volume stock across multiple locations to reduce inventory levels while meeting overall demand.

What are bonded warehouses?

A bonded warehouse is a secure area where goods imported into the United States can be assembled, labeled, marked, manipulated and/or stored without paying duties for as many as five years from the import date. Customs approval is required for any cleaning, repackaging or sorting of goods.
