Warehousing and Logistics ServicesReserved for IBI Clients

When ramping up business in the U.S., not all companies have enough inventory to necessitate the use of a third-party warehouse. Many 3PLs, especially in the age of e-commerce, require a minimum inventory and rate of turnover that new companies can have difficulty meeting. That’s where MI steps in with our warehousing and logistics services.

Storage

The MI IBI warehouse, located in Spartanburg, S.C., provides an intermediary solution for our IBI clients. Our fully-staffed location provides a professional, and safe, storage option for inventory, samples, and other products. Showcasing is also an option upon request.

Logistics

At our S.C. warehouse, we offer full logistics services. This allows our IBI clients who have opted in to our warehouse to send products to customers and accept deliveries from abroad. Logistics services include inventory management, pick-and-pack, and returns processing, among others.

I have a foreign-based client who has been in the U.S. market for a few years, but was struggling with their sales agent relationship. MI’s unique IBI program allowed this client to bring order processing and marketing in-house, without having to add staff. Now the business is in a better position to penetrate the U.S. market. I will definitely refer future clients to the MI team.

I have been referring clients to MI for over ten years because their services are tailored to foreign companies and meet the operational needs my clients previously struggled with. Plus, MI’s end of year financial packets are professional, making my firm’s tax services easier.

Working with a foreign subsidiary is very different from working with one whose parent company is in the U.S. The questions you need to ask are different, and the process itself can be drastically more complicated. We enjoy partnering with MI because they know about all of those pitfalls and can help companies grow without making the classic mistakes.

Senior Sales Executive, USI Insurance Services

We hired MI to act as our controller since our U.S. team is small. And we are glad we did! We unexpectedly had turnover in our internal bookkeeping position, and MI was able to seamlessly carry out the functions while they searched, hired, and trained our new employee.

Manager, TecCoat

We have worked with MI across several clients. We find that we are able to get answers and process tax returns faster when MI is involved. MI’s experience and knowledge of the US makes them a great partner for companies entering and navigating the U.S. market.

We regularly refer our clients to Management inSites for assistance with setting up their U.S. business, and we work with MI to provide visa support for foreign-owned U.S. companies. They have a wealth of expertise and knowledge of multiple industries, business best practices, and practical experience that makes working with them easy, and sets companies up for success.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who can use the MI IBI Warehouse and Logistics services?

The option to store and ship goods from our Spartanburg, S.C. location is reserved for our IBI clients. Our logistics capabilities, however, are not exclusive to the warehouse location. We provide logistics support as part of our back-office operational services to clients from our Charlotte headquarters as well (for drop-shipments to customers from the manufacturing facilities, and by seamlessly working with additional 3PLs, freight forwarders, and more).

I'm not an IBI client, but would like to use your warehouse. Is that possible?

Unfortunately, the warehouse option is reserved for our IBI clients. If you are a client of Management inSites in another capacity, please speak to your account manager for more information.

What is the minimum amount that my company can store at the MI IBI warehouse?

MI can provide a minimum of 500 sq. ft. of space for our IBI clients. Please contact us for pricing.

What is the maximum amount of inventory my company can store at the MI IBI warehouse?

At the moment, we have no maximum limit. If we see that a client is rapidly increasing inventory and turnaround, we might recommend moving to a 3PL. But this will occur on a case-by-case basis.

How often can shipments go out of the MI IBI warehouse?

We can arrange for shipments to be made on any day of the week. IBI clients utilizing the warehouse option will be provided specific details about shipping options.

What if we're expecting a delivery on a day when the warehouse isn't staffed?

As long as MI is given adequate notice about an upcoming delivery, we can arrange to have a team member accept the shipment at our warehouse.

I need a showroom so that customers can view my products in person. Can MI help with that?

MI’s extensive warehouse location in Spartanburg, SC contains several dynamic areas that can be used for showroom purposes.
