    The warehousing system has four functions in the enterprise logistics system. The important role of warehousing in the enterprise logistics system is mainly manifested in the following four aspects:

　　1. The role of the warehousing system in product integration

If factors such as color, size, shape, etc. are taken into consideration, a company's product line includes thousands of different products. These products are often produced in different factories. The company can match, combine, and package the products in the warehouse according to customer requirements. , And then shipped to customers everywhere. Otherwise, satisfying orders from different factories will result in different delivery dates. In addition to meeting the product integration needs of customers, the warehouse is also very economical for companies that use raw materials or spare parts. It is also very economical to combine raw materials or spare parts from different sources from the supply warehouse, and transport the whole vehicle to the factory to meet the demand. 

　　2. The role of the storage system in reducing transportation costs and improving transportation efficiency

　　 Large-scale, complete vehicle transportation will bring transportation economy. In terms of supply logistics, most companies purchase raw materials in small batches from multiple suppliers and transport them to warehouses, and then consolidate and transport them to the factory. Since the vehicle transportation rate is lower than the LTL transportation rate, this will greatly reduce transportation costs and improve transportation efficiency. In terms of sales and logistics, companies ship products from various factories to market warehouses in large quantities, and then ship them to markets or customers in small batches according to customer requirements. The function of this kind of warehouse is not only LCL shipment, but also product integration according to customer requirements.

　　3. The role of warehousing systems in regulating supply and demand

　　Because there are more or less time or space differences between production and consumption, warehousing can improve the time utility of products, adjust balanced production and concentrated consumption, or balance consumption and concentrated production in the time contradiction.

　　4. The role of the storage system in supporting the sales service of the enterprise

　　The warehouse is reasonably close to the customer, so that the product can reach the customer in a timely manner, which will improve customer satisfaction and expand enterprise sales. This is particularly important for enterprise finished product warehouses.
