In HTD, each batch of your goods has a detailed system record. We will combine and reserve products according to the expectations of each customer’s shipment. Warehouses that provide distribution classification services are available to customers to ensure that the storage of goods is foolproof. In the warehouse, we use advanced inventory systems to monitor inventory levels, replenishment needs, and order fulfillment in real time. Products will be divided into multiple areas according to product characteristics (size, weight, and demand). While sorting, barcode scanning, RFID technology, etc., will be included to minimize out-of-stock and overstock situations. Maintaining accurate inventory records can help you streamline operations, improve forecast accuracy, and enhance overall supply chain visibility.

After unloading, the goods are allocated to the appropriate storage location according to the inventory management system and operational requirements.
Labeling services in warehousing services
HTD will label different customers’ products and provide basic information such as product name, SKU, description, and barcode. Ensure that every item in the warehouse is easy to identify and locate, reducing errors, especially for industries such as pharmaceuticals, food, and electronics. Labels that indicate storage conditions such as temperature, humidity, or light sensitivity help warehouse staff adhere to specific storage requirements for sensitive products, thereby maintaining product quality and shelf life. In addition, for barcode labels, we use barcode scanners or RFID technology to capture data automatically. And integrate with WMS to provide real-time inventory visibility and accurate stock levels.
Packaging services
Packaging protects goods from physical damage, moisture, dust, and other environmental factors during storage and transportation. In the packaging, we properly label the essential information like product details, operating instructions, and many more. This ensures compliance with legal requirements and facilitates smooth customs clearance of goods. HTD uses special packaging for temperature-sensitive items, perishable goods, or oversized equipment. Bubble film, foam, and cushioning materials have also been added, with cushioning and shock-absorbing effects to protect fragile items from impact during handling and transportation. After the goods are palletized to ensure stability and easy handling, protective stretch wrap or shrink wrap secures the goods and prevents moisture.
Logistics Services
Cross-docking technology is used for fast-moving goods to facilitate the direct transfer of goods from inbound to outbound, thereby minimizing storage time and handling costs. Goods are shipped after they are ready, with appropriate packaging, labels, and documents.
