15,000 dedicated pallet spaces for secure and long-term storage

Challenges:

  • Storage of palletized products with non-standard dimensions.
  • A significant portion of their products is exported internationally, where clients have varying requirements for loading methods (palletized, floor-loaded, with or without airbags, etc.).

Context and solutions:

Our client, a dairy product processor, exports a large portion of their products internationally. To make the situation more complex, these products are packaged in oversized bags that often overflow on the sides, resulting in variable pallet heights.

Boutin 3PL has been their trusted warehousing and distribution partner for over 25 years. To simplify their operations, we adapted our warehouse shelving to be slightly wider, accommodating their pallets with variable dimensions.

Additionally, to enhance their export efficiency, Boutin coordinates the planning of shipments in alignment with the specific business requirements of all stakeholders. To meet the diverse loading requirements, we have invested in a variety of specialized equipment and developed expertise tailored to the needs of Agropur’s international clients. As a result, we can offer flexible loading options, such as palletized or floor-loaded shipments, with or without airbags, and optional inspections.

Agropur has also chosen to reserve a dedicated storage space year-round. This arrangement provides them with a cost advantage while ensuring they can utilize their space based on sales forecasts.
