What is Multi Client Warehousing

Multi-client warehousing is a logistics setup where a single warehouse facility is used by multiple clients or businesses, each sharing the infrastructure, technology, and operational costs. This model allows various businesses to benefit from advanced value-added warehousing services without the need to invest in private facilities. Each client typically pays only for the amount of space and resources they use, which can include storage, handling, and distribution services.

In this model BSC manages the warehouse and offers its services to multiple clients. This approach provides flexibility and cost efficiency, making it suitable for businesses with varying inventory sizes and seasonal fluctuations. Multi-client warehousing also leverages shared technology and expertise, which can enhance operational efficiencies and service quality for all users of the facility.
