Logistic Point warehousing covers contract storage in Almaty and Astana, receiving and put away, stock records, order picking, packing and dispatch on request. The service suits companies that need a warehouse without their own premises and staff: goods are received, stored, handled and shipped to recipients by the company. The Astana facility is heated, and receiving and dispatch are supported by reporting and photo records. Requests are accepted around the clock.
Key facts
- Warehouses in Almaty and Astana: receiving, storage and dispatch on request.
- Full cycle of warehouse operations: receiving, put away, records, picking, packing.
- Stock reporting and photo records at receiving and dispatch.
- Cross-docking: receiving, sorting and dispatch within 24 hours.
- Labeling, sticker application, kit assembly, boxing and palletizing.
- Connection with transportation: dispatched goods go straight onto a run across Kazakhstan.
What warehousing includes
Receiving and put away. Goods are checked by quantity and external condition, discrepancies with the accompanying documents are recorded, and the batch is placed in the warehouse. Photo records at receiving remove disputes about the state in which the cargo arrived.
Storage and records. Stock is tracked by item and movement is reflected in reports. This format replaces an in house warehouse: the company sees what is in storage and requests dispatch as needed.
Goods handling. Storage can include order picking, labeling and sticker application, kit assembly, boxing and palletizing. The volume of operations depends on the state in which goods arrive and the state in which they must reach the recipient.
Dispatch on request. Goods are released within the agreed timeframe: to the recipient, to a retail outlet or onto a run across Kazakhstan. Because transportation is handled by the same company, dispatch and shipping happen as one operation without handing the cargo to a third party.
Warehouse formats
Warehouses are used differently: some companies need long term placement with regular dispatch, others need a batch to pass through within 24 hours without storage. The service set and preparation requirements change with the format.
| Format | What it includes | When it is chosen |
|---|---|---|
| Contract warehousing | Receiving, put away, stock records, dispatch on request | No own warehouse or not enough space for inventory |
| Cross-docking | Receiving, sorting and dispatch within 24 hours without storage | The delivery is in transit and splits immediately by recipient |
| Picking and packing | Order assembly, labeling, kits, boxing, palletizing | Goods arrive in bulk and leave as prepared orders |
| Consolidation of batches | Accumulating deliveries from different shippers and dispatching on one truck | Regular small purchases from several suppliers |
| Storage in transit | Placing cargo in the destination city until the consignee accepts it | The consignee is not ready to receive the goods |
Contract warehousing and cross-docking solve different tasks: in the first case goods sit in the warehouse and are dispatched in parts, in the second they pass through in transit. Picking usually accompanies storage rather than standing alone: orders are assembled from goods already placed. Consolidation is needed where purchases are small and frequent and shipping them separately is uneconomical.
What affects storage terms
Several factors matter before placing goods. A warehouse is not priced on occupied space alone: the number of operations performed on the goods, dispatch frequency and record keeping requirements all affect the terms.
| Parameter | How it affects warehouse work | What to clarify in advance |
|---|---|---|
| Volume of goods | Determines the space occupied and the storage scheme | Number of pallets or boxes and their dimensions |
| Storage period | Separates short term placement from continuous service | Planned period and seasonality of the inventory |
| Number of operations | Picking and labeling increase warehouse workload | How many orders are assembled per day or week |
| Dispatch frequency | Affects the working scheme and order preparation | Dispatch schedule and the cut off time for requests |
| Requirements for the goods | Sets placement and packaging conditions | Temperature regime, fragility, item level records |
Most recalculations come from a gap between the expected and the actual number of operations: a company plans to hold inventory and dispatch once a month, but in practice assembles dozens of small orders every day. The second source of gaps is goods arriving without labeling: they have to be processed at receiving, which adds work and time.
Who uses warehousing services
Online stores and marketplace sellers. Goods are stored at the warehouse, orders are assembled and packed, and delivery to buyers is handled by the same company's courier service. No premises and no warehouse staff are needed.
Companies with seasonal inventory. When volume changes through the year, renting a fixed area is not efficient. Paying for space occupied allows the arrangement to follow the season.
Importers. A batch arriving from China or CIS countries is placed at the Almaty warehouse, handled and distributed across the regions of Kazakhstan as orders come in.
Manufacturers and distributors. The warehouse is used as a consolidation and preparation point for shipments to retail chains, where labeling and accompanying documents matter.
How to prepare goods for storage
Provide the item list. A nomenclature with quantities and dimensions is needed to calculate the space occupied and the placement scheme. Without it any assessment of terms is approximate.
Check the packaging. Goods must withstand movement inside the warehouse. Fragile items need rigid packaging; small piece goods are boxed and palletized.
Define dispatch rules. Who places the request, by what time and how the order composition is agreed are recorded before the first batch is received.
Agree the reporting format. The frequency of stock and movement reports is set in advance so that warehouse data matches the company's own records.
- Clarify whether labeling or sticker application is required at receiving.
- Decide whether photo records of receiving and dispatch are needed.
- Report items with special placement conditions.
- Agree the cut off time for same day dispatch requests.
- Decide whether dispatched goods go straight onto a run across Kazakhstan.
What determines the cost
Space occupied. The calculation is based on the placement volume, the number of pallets or the area taken, and the storage scheme.
Scope of operations. Receiving, picking, labeling, packing and dispatch are quoted separately because they require different time and staffing.
Period and frequency. Short term placement and continuous service differ in terms, as do rare dispatches and daily orders.
Additional requirements. Item level records, photo documentation, special placement conditions and urgent handling are agreed outside the base set. Final terms are set once the goods parameters and working scheme are confirmed.
How the warehouse works with a client
1. Describing the task
Nomenclature, volume of goods, planned placement period and dispatch scheme are provided. At this stage it becomes clear whether storage, cross-docking or picking fits and what volume of operations is required.
2. Agreeing the scheme
Receiving procedure, rules for placing dispatch requests, reporting format and the scope of goods handling are recorded. For continuous service the terms are fixed in a contract.
3. Receiving the goods
The batch arrives at the warehouse, is checked by quantity and condition and labeled if needed. Discrepancies with the documents are recorded immediately and agreed with the client.
4. Storage, handling and dispatch
Goods are placed and stock is reflected in reports. On request, orders are assembled, packed and prepared for shipping. Completed orders are dispatched to the recipient or handed to a run across Kazakhstan.
Warehousing for companies without a local entity
A common arrangement for foreign suppliers. Companies without a registered entity in Kazakhstan often need inventory held locally to shorten delivery times to buyers. Contract warehousing covers this: the goods are stored and handled by the provider, while the client manages stock levels and dispatch requests remotely.
Reporting replaces physical presence. Stock movement reports and photo records at receiving and dispatch let a client in another country see what is in storage and in what condition, without visiting the site.
One contract for storage and distribution. Because transportation runs through the same provider, goods move from the warehouse to recipients across Kazakhstan without a separate carrier agreement.
Why companies choose our warehouse
Warehouse and transportation together. Dispatch and shipping are performed as one operation: goods are not handed to an outside carrier, so fewer points of delay appear.
Transparent stock. Movement reporting and photo records at receiving and dispatch show clearly what is in the warehouse and in what condition.
Flexibility on volume. The space occupied changes with the inventory, which is convenient for seasonal fluctuations and when launching new items.
Rules fixed before the start. Receiving, dispatch and reporting procedures are agreed before the first batch, which removes different readings during operation.

Frequently asked questions
What is contract warehousing
It is placing goods at a provider's warehouse with receiving, stock records, handling and dispatch on request. Unlike renting premises, the company does not hire warehouse staff and is not responsible for operations: receiving, picking and dispatch are performed by the warehouse. Liability for the safety of the goods is set out in the contract.
How does cross-docking differ from storage
In cross-docking goods pass through the warehouse in transit: they are received, sorted and dispatched within 24 hours without being placed into storage. Storage means the batch sits in the warehouse and is dispatched in parts as needed. Cross-docking is chosen when a delivery splits immediately by recipient.
What operations are performed on the goods
Receiving with checks on quantity and condition, put away, stock records, order picking, labeling and sticker application, kit assembly, boxing and palletizing. The scope of operations is agreed before the first batch is received and depends on the state in which the goods arrive.
How does dispatch from the warehouse work
Dispatch is performed on the client's request: the order is assembled, packed and handed to the recipient or sent straight onto a run across Kazakhstan. The cut off time for same day dispatch requests is agreed in advance. Shipping documents are issued on the day of dispatch.
Is there reporting on stock levels
Yes, goods movement and stock are reflected in reports whose format and frequency are agreed before the service starts. Photo records are additionally used at receiving and dispatch, which removes disputes about the condition of the goods and the completeness of assembled orders.
Can goods be stored for a short period
Yes, the warehouse is also used for short term placement. During transportation, cargo is stored free of charge for the first three days in the destination city, which gives the consignee time to arrange receiving. For longer placement the terms are agreed separately.
