Contract Warehousing

Contract Warehousing Ltd (CWL) specializes in helping overseas companies enter the New Zealand market without setting up their own local operation. It provides infrastructure without the financial constraints or difficulty of managing staff. CWL is one of New Zealand's longest-established third-party logistics (3PL) and contract warehousing providers. Founded by Managing Director Rod Giles, it has operated since 1978 from East Tamaki, Auckland, providing services to businesses from throughout the world for an extensive range of products, from health foods and wine to gym equipment. Clients get an immediate start, with no capital expense required.

CWL works with clients from sole traders to multinationals, many for decades, across sectors including retail, food, automotive and consumer goods. Its warehousing operation covers inward receipting of LCL and FCL sea containers, loose packed or palletized, bulk, pallet and unit racked storage, and computerized stock management with batch, expiry date and serial number tracking. Order processing, order fulfilment, pick and pack, kit-setting, repacking and dispatch all run within a monitored, secure facility, using FIFO, FEFO and LIFO picking as required. The company also offers fourth-party logistics (4PL) services and reverse logistics, with full inventory and reporting through a real-time online portal. Distribution reaches every corner of New Zealand, and the team manages customs and international freight, insurance and documentation.
