Warehousing is the act of storing goods that will be sold or distributed later. While a small, home-based business might be warehousing products in a spare room, basement, or garage, larger businesses typically own or rent space in a building that is specifically designed for storage.

- customer service, ensuring availability of products
- unreliable supplier
- minimization of order and supply costs; The total costs can be lower with a large order
