In today’s fast-paced e-commerce and retail environment, a warehouse is no longer just a place to store goods — it’s the nerve center of a responsive, technology-driven supply chain. As a professional third-party logistics (3PL) provider, Lecangs understands that speed, visibility, and accuracy are the new standards for warehouse operations.

So, what are the key functions of a modern warehouse? And how does technology empower Lecangs to deliver better performance for our clients?

Core Functions of a Modern Warehouse

1. Storage & Inventory Management

The primary role of a warehouse is to store goods securely and systematically. However, modern storage goes beyond shelving — it involves intelligent zone management, accurate inventory tracking, and space optimization to reduce carrying costs and increase efficiency.

2. Order Fulfillment

The warehouse is the heart of e-commerce fulfillment — receiving orders, picking items, packing them properly, and shipping them quickly. At Lecangs, 90% of U.S. domestic orders are delivered next day, meeting the high-speed expectations of North American consumers.

3. Inbound & Outbound Logistics

From receiving shipments, inspecting and labeling, to staging outbound orders for dispatch, a streamlined inbound and outbound workflow is critical. Lecangs leverages digital systems to ensure every shipment is trackable and every movement is logged in real time.

4. FBA Prep & Transloading

For import/export and high-turnover businesses, Lecangs supports Amazon FBA prep, cross-docking, and local transloading services. This shortens storage time and accelerates the flow of goods — ideal for global e-commerce sellers.

5. Returns Management (Reverse Logistics)

With return rates climbing in e-commerce, warehouses must handle reverse logistics efficiently. Lecangs offers dedicated workflows and systems for return inspections, re-labeling, re-shelving, and restocking — all under a structured, tech-driven process.

How Technology Empowers Lecangs Warehousing？

1. Real-Time Inventory Visibility

Our proprietary Warehouse Management System (WMS) enables synchronized, multi-location inventory tracking. Integrated with Amazon, Shopify, Walmart, and major ERP systems, Lecangs provides real-time data so customers always know what’s in stock and where it is.

2. Automated Order Processing & Smart Picking

Using barcode scanning, optimized picking routes, and real-time task assignments, Lecangs reduces manual errors and speeds up fulfillment. Some warehouses are equipped with Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) for goods-to-person picking — improving efficiency and reducing labor costs.

3. Full System Integration

Lecangs supports seamless integration with platforms like TikTok Shop, Temu, and more. Our system automates the entire fulfillment cycle — from order import to shipping and inventory updates. Customers also benefit from a visual dashboard showing key metrics like order status, product locations, and inventory turnover — all in one place.
