Strengthen Your Supply Chain with North and South Island Warehousing
At Online Distribution, we provide trusted third-party logistics (3PL) warehousing and fulfilment services from modern, secure facilities in both Auckland and Christchurch. This strategic North and South Island coverage gives your business real supply chain advantages that directly impact customer satisfaction, and bottom-line results.
1. Resilience Where It Matters Most
New Zealand businesses are no strangers to disruption—from weather events to transport delays like Cook Strait ferry cancellations. By holding stock in both Auckland and Christchurch, you create a built-in safety net. If one location is impacted, your business can continue to fulfill orders from the other, keeping customers happy and operations running smoothly.
Over 35 years our clients have repeatedly benefited from this dual-location approach during unplanned disruptions.
2. Faster Fulfilment, More 5 Star Reviews
Having inventory strategically located in both major centers reduces delivery times and freight costs across the country. Orders can be fulfilled faster, especially for last-mile delivery, resulting in a better experience for your customers. Faster service = happier customers = increased loyalty.
3. Smarter Inventory Management
Splitting inventory between the North and South Islands allows for more precise demand forecasting and stock optimisation. That means fewer out-of-stocks, reducing costs, and improved inventory turnover. Deploying your stock where and when it will work hardest for your business.
4. Built-In Flexibility and Agility
Markets shift quickly, and having multiple stock points gives you the agility to shift with them. Whether you’re entering a new region, running a promotion, or responding to seasonal demand, dual warehousing enables dynamic stock allocation and faster response times.
