Warehouses help to organize deliveries to a chain of stores or to groups of similar enterprises. You can set up deliveries from the warehouse once, and then only change the volume of purchases - this saves time. Warehouses also allow you to create a buffer stock of raw materials and goods.

In addition, warehouses, in fact, are a mechanism that makes it possible to release the same products at different prices. For example, if you want to supply products from your factory to your own stores a little higher than the cost price, "throwing out" the surplus on the market at a higher price, then this can be done only through warehouses.
