Storing and tracking products are critical steps in the order fulfillment process. Finished products are typically stored in warehouses or distribution centers before being shipped in large volumes for commercial customer orders or individually for end user orders. Products that move through the warehouse should be handled carefully to avoid injuries and maintain product quality.

Finished products are typically stored in warehouses or distribution centers before being shipped in large volumes for commercial customer orders or individually for end user orders. Storing and tracking products are critical steps in the order fulfillment process. Most facilities will have procedures and equipment in place for warehouse personnel to receive and immediately ship products, or store products for shipping at another time. Regardless of equipment, inventory management software or policies, most facilities will follow these fundamental steps for managing products: one, receiving, including sorting and labeling, two, storing, three, loading, and four, shipping.
