KATMANDU: Kathmandu Warehouse and Distribution Centre (KWDC) has started operating warehouse with complete logistic solutions. The warehouse was inaugurated on Friday.
During the inauguration ceremony, KWDC signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Nepal Freight Forwarders Association (NEFFA) and Courier Agents Association of Nepal (COSAN) to provide their members with warehousing, distribution and professional auxiliary services at a prescribed nominal tariff. Part of the tariff collected by KWDC will go to these associations, according to KWDC.
Kathmandu is the business hub of Nepal where most of the commercial, trading and distribution activities take place. However, there is a shortage of professionally managed warehouse and a proper distribution centre with easy access for incoming loaded trucks and trailers. In addition, there is an issue of ‘No Entry’ for these vehicles during day time and a shortage of labour and loading equipment during nights when the trucks and trailers are finally allowed to enter the city. In addition, there is a shortage of dedicated parking zone earmarked for these vehicles. Moreover, the trucks face traffic harassment while entering the city and waste considerable time entering and exiting the valley.
KWDC was established to tackle such issues. The warehouse is located near the Thankot check post, an ideal location where there is no issue of ‘No Entry’. The warehouse built on 12 ropanis of land also provides various services and facilities including round-the-clock security, receiving, loading, unloading, stocking, dispatching, warehouse-to-door transportation.
KWDC uses warehouse management system (WMS) for receiving and warehousing in earmarked slots, and on clients' requirements, could provide real-time stock reports. Other facilities provided by KWDC include repacking and value addition and digitising inventory management with barcoding.
The clients will only have to send a message/log in with their cargo and vehicle details and the rest will be taken care of by the KWDC team and the system in place. It is a single window one-stop-service (OSS) station catering to the needs of the business community and other entities in the valley.
