Award Winning Warehousing Solutions

At IFC, our warehousing services are designed to meet the evolving demands of Australian businesses while maintaining high standards of productivity, cost-control and service.

Warehousing is more than simply holding stock. It is a critical touch-point in your supply-chain that affects turnaround times, order accuracy, inventory visibility and cost structures. Poor warehousing control can lead to delays, increased waste, higher handling costs and dissatisfied customers. On the other hand, a well-executed warehousing and distribution strategy can provide your business with:

• Faster time-to-market and improved responsiveness
• Better stock accuracy and fewer fulfilment errors
• Reduced inventory-holding costs through efficient storage and movement
• Greater flexibility to respond to seasonal spikes or promotional campaigns
  By prioritising warehousing as a strategic asset, rather than simply as a cost-centre, businesses can gain a competitive advantage.

At IFC, our warehousing services are built on three pillars: a broad national footprint, advanced systems and custom value-added services.

National Footprint
Our warehousing network covers major Australian cities.

Melbourne: 45 000 m² of warehousing space
Sydney: 20 000 m²
Brisbane: 15 000 m²
Adelaide and Perth each:10 000 m²

This nationwide coverage allows clients to place inventory close to major markets, minimise transport times and improve service levels.

Systems & Compliance
Our warehousing operations are fully equipped with robust systems and accredited processes:

• HACCP, organic and ISO accredited processes.
• SSCC & EDI management for seamless supply-chain data exchange.
• ERP, WMS and TMS integration for real-time inventory visibility.

• Batch and serial number tracking, cross-docking, refrigerated (reefer) container storage.These systems ensure that warehousing operations are reliable, transparent and aligned with your business’s compliance and traceability needs.

Value-Added Warehousing Services
Beyond traditional warehousing, we provide a range of value-added services that enhance flexibility and reduce coordination complexity:

• Live dashboard access and reporting – giving you up-to-date insights into your stock and activity.
• FEFO/FIFO control (First Expired / First Out & First In / First Out) – vital for perishable, food &-beverage or age-sensitive inventory.
• Picking, packing, national e-parcel services – supporting both B2B and e-commerce fulfilment models.
• Re-packaging, branding, labelling, kitting – enabling tailored solutions and reduction of handling via multiple providers.
• Reverse logistics and returns management – essential for today’s retail and e-commerce environment.

Warehousing for Diverse Industry Needs
IFC caters to a wide array of industries: from food &-beverage, fashion &-homewares, to electrical &-technology, healthcare, hardware &-building supplies and agricultural supplies.

Whether your business requires fragile item handling, mass volume throughput or highly regulated traceability, our warehousing network and systems are prepared to support your sector-specific needs.

The IFC Difference
What sets IFC apart in the warehousing arena is our holistic supply-chain mindset. We don’t view warehousing in isolation; our approach integrates warehousing, distribution, technology and custom solutions under one roof.

Furthermore, our in-house IT capabilities including our multi-award winning technology division, empowers our clients with real-time visibility and control across the supply chain.

Choosing the Right Warehousing Partner
When selecting a warehousing partner, consider the following criteria:

• Location & scale: Does the partner offer warehousing in or near your key markets?
• Systems & transparency: Are you given live-access dashboards, full integration with ERP/WMS and traceability?
• Service scope: Beyond storage, does the partner offer picking, packing, labelling, returns and e-commerce support?
• Compliance & accreditation: How does the partner manage HACCP, organic standards, serial tracking, data exchange?
• Flexibility for growth: Can the warehouse scale with your business, adapt to seasonal variation and integrate with your logistics flows?
• National/international network: If your business expands globally, does the partner offer global reach? (IFC has international facilities alongside Australia)

By choosing a partner who can handle warehousing and distribution as part of a broader supply-chain solution, you minimise fragmentation and maximise operational effectiveness.
