Goods storage: what it is and how it works

Goods storage as a key component of logistics

In a context where speed, accuracy and operational continuity are critical to business success, goods storage plays a strategic role within the logistics chain. More than just a warehousing phase, goods storage enables the optimisation of flows, cost reduction, and overall improvement of distribution efficiency.
A well-structured storage system allows for the safe handling of large volumes while ensuring a prompt response to market demands. In this article, we’ll explore what goods storage entails, how Mesaroli manages it through digital systems, and the advantages it offers businesses in terms of traceability, safety, and integration with transport services.

What is goods storage?

How can thousands of products be managed efficiently and safely until they reach their final destination? The answer lies in goods storage: a set of strategic activities that allow for the preservation, organisation and monitoring of goods within dedicated facilities, such as warehouses or logistics centres.
Goods storage is not limited to the physical housing of products — it also involves intelligent stock and information management, in close coordination with transport services. Proper storage management helps speed up distribution times, minimise errors, and offer clients timely and reliable service.

Specifically, the goods storage process allows you to:

• Ensure product availability, by maintaining sufficient inventory to meet customer demand.
• Protect goods, preserving their quality and integrity through optimal storage conditions.
• Optimise logistics management, by facilitating the efficient organisation and handling of products throughout the supply chain.

How goods storage works with Mesaroli

Mesaroli’s goods storage service is based on a highly organised and fully digitised process, where every phase is designed to provide control, traceability and speed. A customised management software tracks every pallet entering or exiting the warehouse, ensuring complete traceability of movements.

• Receiving: incoming goods are checked for quantity, quality, and order compliance.
• Coding and traceability: upon arrival, each package is registered in the system with detailed information — date of entry, batch code, client name, origin, product type, and quantity. The system generates a unique barcode label, which is applied and scanned using an infrared terminal, automatically recording the goods in the system.
• Dedicated storage: products are placed in specific areas based on their characteristics, storage requirements, and handling frequency.
• Dynamic stock management: the digital system allows constant monitoring of stock levels, helping prevent shortages or overstock and facilitating operational planning.
• Order preparation and dispatch: the client sends the load request via email, management software, or another channel. When the vehicle arrives, the operator verifies the data and scans the pallet barcodes. The system blocks the loading of unauthorised pallets and ensures the full order is validated before departure.

All of this works in synergy with Mesaroli’s national and international transport services, reducing idle time and ensuring operational continuity.
