Warehousing support managed with control and visibility.
TSI Central Station manages warehousing support for South African importers, exporters, clearing agents and corporate clients. We coordinate storage, release planning, stock handling, distribution support and communication through one accountable logistics team.
Storage must support the full logistics plan.
Warehousing should not sit outside the shipment process. Storage, release, handling and onward delivery must be coordinated properly.
- Warehousing support through approved providers
- Stock handling and release coordination
- Storage linked to import and export planning
- Distribution support after release
Warehousing only works when it is connected to the shipment plan.
Warehousing can become a cost problem when storage, release dates, handling, documentation and onward delivery are not managed together.
TSI Central Station manages warehousing support through one accountable logistics team. We coordinate approved warehousing providers, stock handling, release planning, communication and distribution support where required.
This gives clients better control when cargo needs to be stored, staged, released or moved onward as part of a wider logistics process.
Warehousing should support the movement, not become a separate problem to manage.

Storage, handling and release planning managed as part of the logistics process.
TSI Central Station coordinates warehousing support where cargo needs to be stored, staged, released or distributed.
Short term storage
We coordinate short term storage where cargo needs to be held before release or delivery.
Inbound planning
We manage the planning between cargo arrival, release, warehouse handover and storage requirements.
Outbound release
We coordinate release instructions and onward movement so cargo does not sit longer than necessary.
Stock handling support
We coordinate handling requirements with approved warehouse providers based on the cargo and client need.
Distribution link
We help connect warehousing to the final delivery plan so stock can move when the client needs it.
Communication and close out
We keep the relevant parties aligned so storage, release and delivery do not become disconnected.
Warehousing must be managed around the wider logistics plan. TSI coordinates the parties so cargo can move in, be stored correctly and move out when required.
