Practical storage solutions for FMCG and their packaging
Fast-moving products shape the economy, especially in times of flourishing online trade, and it is hard to imagine life without them. In this respect, practical warehousing solutions for FMCG, as this product group is known in short, are crucial. Above all, fluctuations in purchase quantities, high rates of purchasing and the integration of new products into an already functioning supply chain are the problems. But how do modern warehousing solutions help?
What are FMCG and who depends on them?
The abbreviation FMCG stands for "Fast Moving Customer Goods" and refers to the goods and products that rotate quickly on the sales shelf. Replenishment is constantly required for them, which is also noticeable in the intensive logistical processes.
Suitable FMCG warehouse solutions are based on enabling rapid replacement on the shelves on site and ensuring continuous availability. This way, the customer does not notice any empty spaces.
Products in the food sector in particular belong to the FMCG area.
For example, special storage solutions are required especially for goods with short shelf lives so that customers are not left standing in front of empty shelves in the store.
In addition to the focus on food, various nearfood products are also included in the FMCG area.
These are, for example, personal care articles such as shower gel, toothpaste, or toilet paper, which also have to be delivered almost daily.
Large volumes of goods and their impact on logistics
The greater the product demand on site, the more important professional and reliable implementation becomes. Suitable FMCG warehouse solutions therefore adapt to the individual sales figures of the respective companies and enable comprehensive project handling.
This includes not only shipping to sales locations, but also on-site sorting and packaging. Part of an effective FMCG warehouse solution at this point is also picking to meet the needs of each location. This enables a steady replenishment of important products.
