It also provides logistics solution for huge companies like Singapore post and DHL etc. Their office is located at No 9 Kaki Bukit Rd 2, Gordon Warehouse Building, #04-28, Singapore 417842. The company when grew up decided to make it warehouse there because of the geographical advantage of the location as we know that the location has Tai Seng metro rail station and MacPherson metro rail station nearby, as well as there are several bus stops also located there this causes an ease to transform their goods. Thus also that the Gordon Warehouse is a commercial property and because of that it is very helpful to move and bring stuff out of ease and without any hesitation of people there. The Gordon Warehouse building can be easily accessed by the airport road which leads directly to or from the airport as well as it is also linked to kallang paya lebar expressway and it could be easily reached by the Bartley road east as well.
The River wood logistics have another plus point which is the sea and that is located very near to their warehouse thus this facility to use the Strait of Singapore in a very easy and efficient way so that there is never a lack. Although the Gordon Warehouse is close to many eateries like the pin fen cafeteria at Eunos Techlink. Whenever being in a logistics business you have to keep in mind the ways in which the products are to be sent or to be bought to the facility as well as that whenever there is a hold on any product then there should be ample space in the warehouse to store and safe keep the stuff.
Thus on this behalf the river wood logistics have kept into consideration that the ware house storage space as well because they have more than 24 Warehouses in the same place because of this they could keep a lot of stuff in these warehouses on hold the next process will be that whenever they want to move stuff to and from the facility they know that their geographical placement will help them as they are very near to two of the main metro rail stations of Singapore as well as they are at being connected by three main roads one of which is the airport road which leads to and from the airport thus whenever there is any cargo which needs a speedy delivery through the air it can be easily transported as well as there are many other roads as well if the cargo needs to travel within the Singaporean state then there warehouse is connected by the Kallang Paya Lebar expressway as well which will bring ease to the transportation process and will neglect the time that is wasted for the cargo that has to travel throughout the busy roads of the city in order to reach the expressway and that time wasted causes losses to the business in the form of delays as well as excessive transportation charges which will eventually loose profits. Almost every logistics company is mainly dependent on the seas in order for the cargo to be moved from one place to another, because the sea allows swift and easy access throughout the world as well as this the most cost effective process up till now thus because of this we know that in order to create an office for logistics solution you have to create a warehouse which is near the ocean.
So that fast, easy and cost effective transportation is done. Thus river wood logistics also accompanies such aspects as we know that this company has his warehouse placed within 10km’s from the strait of Singapore which is the best way in order to cut down the losses this means that whenever there is any cargo ship arriving at the strait River Wood logistics could easily move their to and from that ship and efficiently dealing in the business. Although one more important thing in this business is that there is a need for very swift management and river wood logistics lacks in this process thus this causes the process of the swift functionality to get slow a little but is overcome by the resources found in this aspect. The location at which the company is now is very unique and is sufficient to meet all the needs of the company for now although River wood is signing a deal with Yojee the digital logistics company. In this 2-year deal it has been discussed that that Yojee will provide River wood with their logistics software which River wood anticipates will precipitate greater efficiencies, as well as simplifying and improving the user experience across River woods operations. Because of this deal River woods business will expand a lot therefore there will be a need for to expand this facility or to take up a new facility.
The problem that arises with the growth of the business is that there need to be changes in order to adapt to the new clients otherwise there will be a potential loss for the business therefore the location at which the River wood is operating currently has many more additional warehouse units available which River wood could use if they need to expand their business taking into consideration the fact that they are vacant at the time of expansion otherwise River wood has to move to newer location. The CEO of River wood has said that they are looking to move to a newer 35000 square foot warehouse which will be there new base of operation and will also increase their fleet of cars which they use thus this is a clear indication the location cannot undertake the growth of River wood.
