A warehouse is a large building used for storing goods and products. It is an essential part of the supply chain, where items are kept before being distributed to retailers or customers. Warehouses can hold various types of products, including raw materials, finished goods, and equipment. Warehouses are often equipped with shelving, pallets, and forklifts to help organize and move items efficiently. They may also have loading docks for trucks to facilitate the transportation of goods. Many warehouses use inventory management systems to track the items stored within them, ensuring accurate stock levels and timely deliveries.
