Warehousing is the Keeping of physical goods before they are sold. Warehouses safely and
securely keep products in an organized way to track where items are located, when they
arrived, how long they have been there, and the quantity on hand.
In ecommerce, products are kept until an order is placed online, at which point the order is
shipped directly to the consumer from the facility in which it was stored. In traditional retail,
inventory may be for the moment stored in a warehouse before it’s shipped to a brick and
automobile spare shop.
For small or new businesses, warehousing may be done from home until they outgrow the
space. At that point, a business will have to rent storage space, lease a warehouse, or
outsource logistics to a third-party and store inventory in their facility
