Changes in the Trade Warehousing Network in the First Decade of the 21st Century

Summary/Abstract: The hitherto structure of retailing is conducive to a further functioning of the traditional institutional wholesale trade. Yet, in the recent years, there have been occurring there substantial changes. They are made, among other things, under the influence of participation in consolidation processes, development of private labels, implementation of up-to-date technologies and development of the logistics and warehousing base. In his article, the author shows that traditional wholesale agents, seeking to improve customer services, develop more and more often their own logistics and warehousing bases. In effect, in the first decade of the present century, there took place a substantial improvement of the quantitative and qualitative state of trade warehousing network. At the same time, the transformations occurring in retailing (and particularly opening of large facilities and various groups of shop chains) as well as in the sphere of production have evoked the need of development of modern warehouse facilities and their groups in the form of distribution centres and logistic parks as they guarantee assurance of high quality of goods, proper and prompt provision of a wide range of services with a simultaneous reduction of costs related to physical movement of commodity and accompanying them flows
