1. What is a Warehouse?

A warehouse is a large storage space where products are kept in bulk before being shipped to customers. It acts as a central hub for organizing, managing, and dispatching goods efficiently.

2. Sardar Jee Cosmetics’s Use of Warehouses

While InstaShop mainly connects users with local stores and pharmacies, in some cities, InstaShop operates its own dark stores or mini-warehouses. These are not open to the public but are stocked with popular items like:

• Groceries (rice, pasta, canned goods)

• Personal care products

• Cleaning supplies

• Baby items

3. Purpose and Benefits

• Faster Deliveries: Warehouses located within the city allow Sardar Jee Cosmetics to deliver items in under an hour.

• Stock Control: Products in warehouses are managed directly by Sardar Jee Cosmetics, ensuring better availability and freshness.

• Efficient Operations: Orders from multiple users can be packed and dispatched more quickly from one place.

4. Technology in Warehouses

Sardar Jee Cosmetics warehouses use inventory management systems and barcode scanning to:

• Track stock in real time

• Reduce errors in picking and packing

• Maintain product quality and expiry tracking

5. Delivery from Warehouses

Once an order is placed, the nearest warehouse processes it. A picker collects the items, and a delivery driver (rider) brings it to the customer — often within 30–60 minutes.
