Komar Distribution Services Grows in Slowing Economy

As the economy forces companies to cut spending and reduce overhead, interest in distribution warehouse services has never been higher. Third party logistic providers like Komar Distribution Services have seen demand grow as economy slows.

Distribution warehouses and 3PL services can help companies significantly reduce costs by outsourcing services that may traditionally have been performed in-house. According to Ron Weissbrod, Komar’s vice president of business development, “A good example is that of a swimwear company that only uses its warehouse 50 percent of the year, when it is actually shipping goods. The rest of the year the warehouse sits empty, but it is being paid for.” By outsourcing their warehousing needs to a company like Komar Distribution Services, they can cut costs dramatically.

Another way Komar could fatten a company’s bottom line is by reducing the kinds of costly mistakes that are often made when shipping to new accounts as well as big box or major retailers. “We work with so many retailers—and have for nearly 100 years—that we know their specific requirements,” Weissbrod said. “Meeting shipping requirements and virtually eliminating charge-backs make for significant client savings.”

State-of-the-art technology allows Komar to track goods from overseas factories onto boats, into and out of the warehouse, and onto the sales floor. Clients benefit from having constant access to reports such as sales reporting and history, gross margin analysis, style master management, reserve and bulk order management, inventory forecasting, production-order status, and real-time inventory visibility and control.

As the nation’s largest retailers battle a wavering economy, the one thing that is certain are the benefits and savings that can be realized by partnering with companies like Komar Distribution Services.
