How is inventory tracked?

FlexLoad records inventory as it is received, stored, processed, and shipped. The appropriate tracking and reporting process is established during onboarding based on the complexity of the operation.

Pricing depends on the amount of space required, product characteristics, handling needs, order volume, labor requirements, and length of storage. Contact us for a quote based on your specific operation.
