3PL Warehousing and Logistics in Belarus

We provide comprehensive 3PL warehousing and logistics services for businesses. We receive goods at our warehouses, organize storage, inventory tracking and cargo handling, pick and pack orders, perform packaging and labeling, prepare products for shipment, and arrange onward transportation when required.

The company currently operates two fully equipped warehouses in Belarus — a warehouse in Grodno and a warehouse in Orsha. Warehouses in Minsk, Gomel, Brest and Vitebsk are also opening from 2026. This allows us to select the most suitable storage location based on the characteristics of the cargo, storage requirements and the overall logistics scheme.

3PL services are suitable for companies that need more than just warehouse space and want access to ready-to-use infrastructure for managing product flows without having to maintain their own premises, equipment and warehouse personnel.

What Is 3PL Logistics?

3PL — Third Party Logistics — involves outsourcing part or all of a company’s warehousing and logistics operations to a specialized logistics provider.

Under the traditional model, a company rents a warehouse, hires employees, organizes unloading and receiving, manages warehouse inventory, picks orders, handles packaging and coordinates onward transportation independently.

With 3PL, these processes are transferred to a single logistics partner. For example, cargo can be delivered to our warehouse, received and placed in storage. As orders are received, the required goods are picked into separate batches, labeled or repacked when necessary, and then prepared for shipment to a customer, retail outlet, production facility or another recipient. In this way, the warehouse becomes not the final point of transportation, but an integral part of a managed supply chain.

Warehouses of the Group of Companies in Belarus

Two warehouse facilities are currently available for cargo storage and handling.

Warehouse in Grodno

The Grodno facility has a total area of 1,500 m², of which 1,271 m² is dedicated warehouse space.

The warehouse can be used both for long-term storage of inventory and as an intermediate logistics hub for receiving incoming shipments, storing and processing goods, consolidating cargo and arranging onward transportation.

Warehouse in Orsha

The Orsha facility has a total area of 1,800 m², of which 1,700 m² is dedicated warehouse space.

Heating expands the range of products that can be stored, particularly goods sensitive to sub-zero temperatures, and allows such products to be stored throughout the year. The specific warehouse facility is selected based on cargo characteristics, storage requirements, shipment volumes and the subsequent transportation route.

Warehouses in Belarus

In 2026, warehouses are opening in Minsk, Brest, Gomel and Vitebsk for year-round handling and storage of almost any type of cargo.

Warehouses in Customs Union Countries

We have access to an extensive network of partner warehouses in neighboring Customs Union countries, including Russia, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, which meet high operational standards. We are ready to manage the entire chain — from receiving and labeling, including Chestny ZNAK marking, to final delivery. This includes 3PL contract storage, marketplace fulfillment, outsourced warehouse logistics, last-mile warehousing within the MKAD/CKAD area, and ready-to-use storage units starting from 1,000 m².

What 3PL Warehousing Includes

3PL services go far beyond simply providing warehouse space. The primary purpose of 3PL is to organize the entire flow of goods from the moment they arrive until their subsequent shipment.

Receiving and Put-Away

When cargo arrives at the warehouse, unloading and receiving are carried out according to the process agreed with the client.

Depending on the characteristics of the products, receiving can be performed by cargo units or individual product units. The incoming shipment is checked against the accompanying documents, the condition of the packaging is assessed, and any discrepancies identified during receiving can be recorded.

The goods are then distributed and placed into storage. This approach is particularly convenient for companies that receive large batches of goods but subsequently ship them to customers in smaller quantities.

Contract Storage

Contract storage differs from ordinary warehouse rental because the client receives a complete warehousing service rather than simply paying for square meters of space.

There is no need to independently organize staff operations, receive trucks, supervise unloading or manage the warehouse on a daily basis. The logistics operator handles these tasks.

Goods are received, placed under agreed storage conditions and held until further instructions are received from the client. The warehouse can be used both for maintaining permanent inventory and for temporary storage of individual shipments.

Warehouse Inventory Tracking and Goods Movement Control

Businesses need to understand not only how much product has been delivered to the warehouse, but also what happens to it afterward.

For this reason, warehouse logistics includes tracking the receipt, placement and subsequent movement of goods. Inventory counts and reconciliation of actual stock levels can also be performed by agreement. This helps maintain transparency in warehouse operations even when the goods are physically stored at the logistics operator’s facility.

Order Picking

Storage is often only an intermediate stage.

For example, one large shipment may arrive at the warehouse and then gradually be distributed among several customers or retail outlets.

In this case, the required orders are assembled from available warehouse inventory according to the client’s requests.

Orders can be picked by full pallets, boxes, individual cargo units or individual product units, depending on the agreed operating model. Once picking is complete, the order is prepared for onward shipment.

Packaging, Repacking and Cargo Preparation

Goods may require additional handling before being shipped to the recipient.

For example, damaged transport packaging may need to be replaced, several cargo units may need to be combined into a single shipment, additional cargo protection may be required, or a large shipment may need to be divided into separate orders.

These operations can be included in the warehousing service. As a result, the client receives not simply goods stored in a warehouse, but a shipment fully prepared for the next stage of its journey.

Labeling and Sticker Application

When required, products can be labeled at the warehouse before further sale or transfer to the recipient.

The specific work depends on the task and may include applying additional labels, barcodes, information markings or other agreed forms of labeling.

This is particularly useful when products arrive as a large imported shipment and require additional preparation before distribution within the local market.

Cargo Consolidation and Deconsolidation

A warehouse can serve as a point for creating optimized shipment batches for onward transportation.

For example, several small shipments from different suppliers can be collected at one facility, consolidated into a single shipment and sent to the recipient.

The reverse process is also possible: a large shipment arrives at the warehouse and is then divided into several separate consignments for delivery to customers, branches or retail outlets.

This model enables flexible supply management and eliminates the need to arrange a separate shipment for every individual product line.

Cross-Docking

Not every shipment requires long-term storage.

If cargo needs to be quickly redirected onward, a cross-docking model can be used. Goods arrive at the warehouse, are received and, if necessary, sorted, redistributed or consolidated with other cargo before being transferred for onward transportation with little or no long-term storage.

Cross-docking is particularly useful for regular deliveries and for distributing products among multiple recipients.

Preparing Goods for Shipment

When a client places an order, the warehouse becomes the starting point for the next stage of the logistics process.

The required quantity is removed from storage, picked, packaged or labeled when necessary, and prepared for loading. This allows the recipient to receive exactly the order configuration required at that moment without moving the entire original shipment out of the warehouse.

Warehousing and Transportation Within a Single Logistics Chain

One of the advantages of working with us is the ability to combine warehousing and transportation logistics.

The company provides international freight transportation and logistics support, allowing the warehouse to be integrated into the overall supply chain.

For example:

supplier → international transportation → customs clearance (if required) → warehouse in Belarus → receiving and storage → order picking → delivery to recipients.

For an importer, this means that after a large shipment arrives in Belarus, there is no need to search for a separate warehouse operator, independently arrange cargo handling and then find another carrier to deliver individual orders. Instead of coordinating several independent contractors, the entire process can be organized as a single logistics chain.

This approach simplifies communication, reduces the number of organizational tasks on the client’s side and provides better control over the movement of goods at different stages of the supply chain.

Who Can Benefit from 3PL Logistics?

This service is particularly useful for companies that work with physical goods but do not want to build and maintain their own warehouse infrastructure.

For importers, the warehouse can serve as the location where a large shipment arrives after international transportation and customs procedures. The goods are stored there and then gradually distributed among customers.

For distributors and wholesale companies, 3PL makes it possible to maintain the required level of inventory and regularly prepare shipments for customers, dealers, branches or retail outlets.

Manufacturers can outsource the storage of finished products and their preparation for onward delivery.

For online stores and trading companies, storage, order picking, packaging and shipment preparation services can be particularly useful.

3PL is also convenient for businesses with pronounced seasonal demand. Instead of permanently maintaining their own warehouse sized for peak capacity, companies can use external warehouse infrastructure based on their actual inventory volume.

When Is 3PL More Cost-Effective Than Operating Your Own Warehouse?

Operating your own warehouse gives a company maximum control, but it also creates a significant number of fixed expenses.

A company must rent or purchase premises, employ staff, purchase warehouse equipment, organize inventory management, supervise receiving and shipping, and independently respond to changes in inventory volumes. At the same time, warehouse costs must be paid regardless of current utilization.

3PL allows businesses to use existing infrastructure and outsource operational tasks to a professional logistics provider.

This advantage becomes particularly noticeable when business volumes fluctuate.

If a company needs to store a relatively small shipment today but expects its inventory volume to increase significantly within several months, it does not have to urgently look for additional premises, equipment and employees. Therefore, when comparing an in-house warehouse with 3PL, it is more accurate to consider more than just the cost per square meter. The calculation should also include personnel, equipment, loading and unloading operations, inventory management, utilities, administration and other related expenses.

Individual Operating Model for Every Client

Different businesses use warehouses in different ways.

One client may need to store a large batch of goods for several months while periodically shipping smaller quantities from it.

Another may require continuous processing of incoming and outgoing cargo.

A third client may primarily need the warehouse as an intermediate point between international transportation and delivery to the final recipient.

For this reason, the exact range of 3PL services is tailored individually. We consider product characteristics, incoming shipment volumes, required storage space, storage duration, number of SKUs, shipping frequency and any additional handling operations.

Based on this information, we develop an operating model and calculate the service cost.

How We Start Working

The first step is to determine the parameters of the required warehouse logistics solution.

To prepare an estimate, it is enough to provide basic information about the cargo: what needs to be stored, the approximate volume or number of pallets, product characteristics, frequency of incoming and outgoing shipments, and any additional operations that may be required.

Our specialists analyze the requirements, determine the most suitable facility — in Grodno, Orsha or another warehouse we work with in Belarus — and propose an operating model. Once the terms are agreed, the goods can be delivered to the warehouse and processed according to the client’s requests.

This allows the client to understand in advance where the products will be stored, which operations are included in the service and how subsequent shipments will be organized.

What Determines the Cost of 3PL Logistics?

There is no universal warehouse logistics rate that works equally well for every business.

Two companies may occupy the same amount of warehouse space while creating completely different workloads for the facility.

For example, in one case, goods may arrive as a single shipment and remain almost untouched for several months. In another case, receiving, order picking, repacking and shipment of dozens of orders may take place every day.

For this reason, the cost calculation takes into account the volume and characteristics of the goods, storage duration, number of incoming and outgoing shipments, handling intensity, receiving method, and the need for picking, packaging, labeling and other additional operations. This approach makes it possible to create a rate that reflects the client’s actual logistics model.

To calculate the cost, send us information about your cargo and the proposed operating model.

Why It Is Convenient to Combine Warehousing with Our Other Logistics Services

Working with a single logistics partner is particularly convenient when warehousing represents only one stage of a longer supply chain.

Our company can participate not only in the storage and handling of goods but also in organizing their transportation. Instead of independently coordinating a carrier, warehouse and subsequent carrier, the client can build a connected end-to-end process.

This reduces the number of communications, simplifies supply planning and makes it possible to manage logistics comprehensively — from transporting a large shipment to preparing individual orders for onward delivery.
