Shared Warehousing

ASW offers 700,000 sq. ft. of shared warehousing space in Northeast Ohio. Our headquarters, located on the border of Akron and Mogadore, doubles as a distribution center and operates out of Foreign Trade Zone #181. We also operate smaller locations within the same region. ASW's general service warehouse solutions help our clients manage and grow their businesses. Our full-service 3PL capabilities offer multiple options depending on clients' specific needs.

Our approach to warehousing allows clients to pay for the space needed when it’s needed, scale labor to meet production peaks and valleys, and get their materials and products to market efficiently. With no minimum square footage requirements, clients have the luxury of utilizing as much or as little space as they need. Clients who typically experience seasonal fluctuations due to the type of business in which they engage, can rely on ASW providing extra warehouse space when they require it and less space when they do not.

Our Warehouse Management System (WMS) ensures that clients have real-time visibility of their inventory. At the push of a button, clients can know exactly what materials are in inventory to plan accordingly. Our WMS works with many ERP systems allowing for autonomous synchronization between software systems.
