Effective warehouse operations are crucial for positive project outcomes and profitability. Since 2020, several significant shifts in the construction materials world have had profound impact on daily operations and future growth prospects:

  • Rising material costs: Nonresidential construction input costs have surged by nearly 40%, and remain elevated.
  • Transit delays: Contractors are now experiencing transit delays on a regular basis, and are waiting an average of 12-16 weeks for materials that used to take 2-4 weeks.
  • Increased carrying costs: The current range is from 20% to 30% of annual inventory value. Overordering contributes to these costs by tying up capital in excess inventory.
