Warehouse storage vs keeping inventory at my facility?

Your Newburgh facility is packed and you're weighing outside warehouse storage against expanding on-site. With I-84 and I-87 access, you have options but need to know what makes financial sense. The decision comes down to cost per square foot and how often you need that inventory.

Running out of space happens when your business grows faster than your facility. Outside warehouse storage makes sense when rental space costs less per square foot than your current facility, or when you need overflow capacity during busy seasons. Calculate your facility cost including property taxes, utilities, and labor.

Warehouse storage in the Newburgh area typically runs $4-8 per square foot annually, depending on services included. Your total cost includes transportation between locations and any inventory management fees. Factor in how often you'll need to move products between your facility and the warehouse.

Start by calculating your current cost per square foot at your facility near I-84 or NY-17K. Compare that to local warehouse rates that include inventory tracking and direct-to-customer shipping. Gateway Distribution can help you analyze trailer staging options that might reduce your storage needs entirely by keeping inventory mobile and ready to ship.

Once you have the right storage strategy, your inventory flows smoothly without the constant space crunch. You can focus on your business instead of playing Tetris with products every time a shipment arrives.
