Shipment peaks
Separate average inventory from the highest stockholding you expect after a delivery or ahead of a seasonal peak.
Importers & distributors
Food importers & distributors
Plan stockholding between the arrival of goods and the next customer order. Bring shipment patterns, product mix and replenishment needs into one storage discussion.
Your operating pattern
A requirement profile that reflects your business.
Imported and distributed food can move in large inbound consignments and leave in a very different outbound pattern. The storage requirement therefore needs to consider more than the size of a single shipment. Average stock, peak stock, product conditions, stock rotation and customer order profiles all contribute to the proposed arrangement.
Priorities to consider
The details behind the storage need.
Mixed product ranges
Identify which categories need different conditions, segregation, packaging or handling.
Stock rotation
Explain expiry, batch allocation and any customer-specific release requirements.
Outbound replenishment
Connect customer ordering patterns with case, pallet or mixed-order dispatch needs.
Illustrative planning scenario
Put the requirement
into context.
A distributor may receive several product lines in one delivery, hold them for different durations and release them to multiple customer locations. A useful brief combines the inbound consignment, SKU list, estimated stock curve and typical outbound order. This is an illustrative planning scenario, not a Nord Hub customer case.
Build your brief
Useful information to bring
- Inbound shipment formats and frequency
- Product categories and required conditions
- Average and peak stockholding
- Batch, expiry and stock-release requirements
- Typical customer order size and delivery areas

For your sector.
Can you handle imported goods?
Import-related storage and handling needs can be discussed. Customs, bonded status and importer-of-record services are not claimed for Nord Hub and would need specific confirmation.
What if my stock changes by season?
Include an ordinary month and a peak-period estimate. This makes the requirement more useful than a single headline pallet figure.
