Warehouses are used to store goods and facilitate the movement of goods. They are used by manufacturers, importers/exporters, customs, and wholesalers. Warehouses utilize equipment like cranes, forklifts, and conveyors to efficiently store, organize, and transport raw materials, spare parts, and finished goods. Proper warehouse management through techniques like just-in-time and optimal inventory levels can improve efficiency and anticipate demand. The Indian warehousing industry is valued at around 560 billion INR and has been growing over 10% annually, with industrial and retail warehouses making up the majority.
