Main Services
Warehousing & logistics.
Warehousing and logistics services that connect inbound freight with storage, cargo transfers and outbound distribution. Define the handling activity, inventory flow and next transportation step around your operation.
Warehousing & Logistics
Where transportation meets your operation.
Warehousing gives a transportation plan a place to hold, transfer or prepare cargo for its next move. The right arrangement depends on whether freight needs temporary storage, a change of equipment or ongoing release to customers.
Prisma Freight coordinates warehouse support with inbound and outbound transportation requirements. Handling capabilities, storage conditions and availability are confirmed for the cargo and location before an arrangement is scheduled.
Warehouse Support
The right support between moves.
Choose the activity that solves the operational need: hold inventory, transfer equipment or connect incoming freight to the next outbound move.
Short-term storage
Hold freight between arrival and the next pickup or delivery appointment. Confirm expected duration, receiving availability and the instructions for releasing the cargo.
Long-term storage
Align storage duration and cargo conditions with inventory access and planned release frequency. Review space and handling requirements for the proposed arrangement.
Transloading
Transfer cargo between a container, trailer or other transportation equipment. Define unloading and reloading methods, packaging suitability and the next vehicle's requirements.
Cross-dock
Connect inbound and outbound freight with limited holding time rather than extended storage. Cargo identification, receiving schedules and outbound readiness need to align.
Inbound coordination
Prepare the receiving handoff with shipment details, arriving equipment, appointments and unloading needs so the facility can plan for the freight.
Distribution support
Coordinate shipment releases and outbound freight around destination requirements. Match available equipment, pickup readiness and customer receiving appointments.
Operational Connections
Connect the warehouse to both sides.
Inventory flow depends on clear receiving and release instructions. Plan what arrives, what happens to it and what must be ready for the next pickup.
Transportation to warehouse
Confirm the load details, receiving window, dock access and unloading method before scheduling inbound freight. Identify exceptions that could affect acceptance.
Warehouse to customer
Prepare release instructions, quantities and loading requirements for outbound freight. Align equipment and pickup timing with the customer's delivery conditions.
Handling and communication
Identify the contacts responsible for receipt, inventory access and release. Share handling instructions and changes that affect stored cargo or the next transportation leg.
Before Scheduling
Make the operating requirements clear.
Provide the commodity, packaging, pallet count, dimensions and weight. Define whether the cargo needs storage, transloading or cross-docking, plus expected duration and access requirements.
Include inbound arrival plans and outbound release frequency, receiving hours, dock access and appointment needs. These details connect the warehouse activity to the transportation schedule.
FAQ
Warehousing and logistics questions.
How do storage and cross-dock needs differ?
Storage involves holding cargo for an agreed period with defined access and handling requirements. Cross-dock focuses on connecting inbound and outbound freight with limited holding time. The suitable approach depends on cargo readiness, timing and the operating arrangements.
What information is needed to review warehouse support?
Provide the location, commodity, packaging, pallet or piece count, dimensions, weight, expected duration and required activities. Include receiving appointments, unloading methods, special handling needs and any planned outbound transportation.
When does transloading make sense?
Transloading may fit when cargo needs to move from a container or trailer into different equipment for the next leg. Review cargo dimensions, packaging, handling methods and the outbound load plan first. It differs from storage: the purpose is an equipment transfer, although a separate holding arrangement may also be needed.
