Now, the logistics of white goods in the commercial sector are going to change in India. With the effective ban on white goods imports from China as the Make in India initiative picks up, the urge on local businesses is to source their product requirements with seasonal demand from domestic manufacturers. Under the gamut of logistics service providers, AWL India provides warehousing solutions customized to include critical facilities like chiller services where such goods are maintained and transported in the most ideal conditions. In this blog, we discuss how AWL India's logistics solutions can help business houses navigate this new landscape.
White goods in the commercial industry are a completely different animal from household appliances. This refers to big machinery that operates within commercial sites such as restaurants, supermarkets, and retail outlet stores. This can include large refrigerators and freezers, ovens, and display units—all of which companies need to ensure proper temperature control and maximum utilization of storage capacity.
With the developed Indian economy and shifting to domestic production, logistics handling for such bulky items requires innovative solutions. A complete import ban from China is on the cards; stockpiling would be necessary, especially in high-demand seasons. That is where AWL India, ready to handle this transition, offers logistics solutions focused only on commercial white goods.
The import ban on white goods from China, in all likelihood, will increase the demand for products manufactured in India. Of course, this is in favour of Indian manufacturers. However, this spawns a new challenge for logistics providers. Some of the major impacts of the ban include:
The companies will have no choice but to make preseasonal bulk orders of inventory to replenish consumer demand because of their lower import choices.
Companies are forced to accommodate higher stock levels as they buy many products in bulk ahead of seasonal peaks, and companies have to find ways to store those higher stock levels.
Commercial white goods handling, storage, and transportation require equipment that is specific to the product and warehouse facilities providing refrigeration and controlled temperatures.
Thus, the company is an ideal partner for businesses adapting to these changes based on its experience in large-scale logistics management for heavy, temperature-sensitive goods.
AWL India provides end-to-end solutions that are exclusively tailored for commercial white goods. This is exactly where they assist businesses in surmounting the challenges of white goods logistics in the new regulatory environment:
Commercial white goods are very often required to be stored in a temperature-controlled environment. AWL India offers high-end warehouse solutions that include chillers and climate control options. Such warehouses are designed with the specific purpose of keeping the white goods, such as refrigerators or freezers, in the ideal condition by means of storing such equipment.
In this scenario, sensitive equipment is never exposed to ranges of temperature outside the ideal, which could otherwise compromise its durability and effectiveness.
Real-time Monitoring: Sensed and monitored temperature-consistent warehouses of AWL India to ensure that there would not be any unwarranted change in temperature.
Inventory management has become that much more necessary now with increased requirements for stockpiling. The warehousing solutions rendered by AWL India comprise advanced inventory management systems enabling businesses to track their level of stocks as well as automate the entire process of reordering.
The new warehousing systems by AWL India will enable businesses to track what is in the warehouse and know exactly how much they have at any given time.
The system empowers a business to see what the seasonal demand will be and adjust accordingly to increase or decrease stock, thus preventing stockouts or overstocking.
Scalability is one of the features of AWL India, as it provides secure warehousing with scalable storage options. It can thus be adjusted according to demand. Companies that have fluctuating requirements of inventory due to seasonal changes or market swings are very vital for such flexibility.
Flexible expansion or contraction of the warehousing of AWL India according to a client's needs means that it offers a cost-effective solution for fluctuating levels of inventory. That also strengthens the security feature.
There are various security systems in place in the warehouses to protect priceless equipment so that companies feel comfortable storing a whole range of highly-priced commercial commodities.
The logistics of white goods are much more than just warehousing alone. They require transportation and handling as well. AWL India provides specialised transportation services to manage the movement of large, heavy pieces of equipment safely and efficiently.
AWL India provides heavy transport trucks, which are refrigerated depending on the client's requirements. They would be perfectly suited for transporting huge commercial-sized appliances.
They have handling teams who have been trained regarding the movement of fragile and heavy equipment carefully without damaging any piece.
AWL India follows the entire chain of logistics from pickup to the delivery point, ensuring a seamless transition between warehouse storage and final destinations.
The seasonal demand for commercial white goods can spur upward at any given time, especially when businesses are restocking before high-demand periods. AWL India's logistics solutions are uniquely tailored to cater to the intricacies of a bulk order, meaning that businesses are better prepared for the seasonal spike in times of service without compromising on quality.
The systems of AWL India are equipped enough to handle huge orders and thus facilitate effortless replenishment of the shelves.
AWL India's distribution channel has spread its reach into all nooks and corners of the country. Such a strong and wide distribution channel ensures goods reach even the farthest corners of the country on time, even during peak seasons.
For those who do not want any extensive warehousing, AWL India also offers its customers JIT delivery, whereby the timing of delivery is synchronized with that of the demand and thus lessens the need to store for long.
While AWL India supports white goods logistics, they also support the India march toward Atmanirbhar Bharat within the Make in India initiative. In this way, while ensuring correct warehousing and logistics services for products made domestically, companies find it easier to transition from international to local distributors.
Since the imports have reduced, it is the manufacturers in the homeland who have to bridge the gap. AWL India partners with such manufacturers so that their products are well taken care of while being handled, stored, and transported.
Local sourcing reduces lead times only if the logistics are streamlined. The Warehousing and Distribution Network of AWL India ensures that businesses get their merchandise within the shortest time possible.
In other words, due to the effective management and distribution capabilities of AWL India, local goods remain readily available for businesses, which further lowers their stock holding costs and minimizes holding costs.
AWL India is environmentally friendly, like the comprehensive environmental objectives of India. Sustainable logistics is friendly to the environment and thus reduces the carbon footprints of a business enterprise.
Low-emission vehicles, of course, form part of their fleet to create a low-carbon footprint while transporting white goods.
Their warehouses have been carefully designed to be energy-efficient with green sources like solar panels, renewable energy options, and LED lighting that consumes the least amount of power.
AWL India intends to reduce supply chain waste by using recyclable packaging materials.
With Make in India set to take India on the path of self-reliance, the logistics sector has a very big role to play in the transition being thought of. AWL India leads the way as a committed partner in white goods logistics, focusing on integrated solutions suited for all possible needs of the commercial sector.
