A public warehouse is a stand-alone company that specializes in warehousing and distribution. Most companies that sell large quantities of a product can benefit from the services of a public warehouse. These services almost always include various ways of storing goods based on environmental needs (cold storage, humidity control, refrigeration, etc.), but some may only offer traditional dry warehousing. Many public warehousing companies offer multiple options as far as shipping methods and techniques. A full-service logistics provider will offer cross docking, pick-pack and contract packaging service to augment the transportation process. This allows the clients to customize their own warehousing experience to meet their own specific needs as well as the needs of their customers.

Public warehouses also offer inventory tracking and management technology. Most will offer their own inventory control software, but they can implement the client company’s software, allowing that company to treat the public warehouse the same way they would any other well-connected satellite location.

Private warehouses provide more control since the enterprise has absolute decision-making authority over all activities and priorities in the facility.
