Transcript

An agile distribution center starts with the right facilities service partner.

In order to keep up with escalating customer demand, today’s distribution and fulfillment centers need to operate at peak efficiency. Managing your own costs and processes puts your facility at a competitive disadvantage, as outsourcing frees up time and resources that can support other core areas of business. Outsourcing is a strategic business decision with numerous benefits, including the five outlined below:

1. Regain Focus

When you partner with ABM, our team becomes your team. We will train and manage workers according to your standards, so you can focus on fulfilling orders.

2. Recruitment and Retention

Our nationwide candidate database finds qualified candidates to fill even the most niche roles. We work to build relationships and develop talent, which results in high employee retention rates and job satisfaction.

3. Train Employees

We have the resources to provide supplemental labor for seasonal and ongoing demands, as well as consistent training aligned with the industry's best practices—which will have a high impact on your KPIs, service, quality, and costs.

4. Work Safer

Our team is committed to upholding our ThinkSafe culture across all service lines, ensuring all tasks are performed with the utmost care.

5. Consolidate Your Services

When you rely on numerous vendors to service your facility, the quality and attention of each service area comes at a logistical expense. ABM provides a comprehensive suite of services for your entire operation, all from one convenient source.
