Our Warehousing Capabilities

166 Global Logistics operates modern warehousing facilities across Azerbaijan and key regional locations, offering diverse storage solutions for a wide range of industries and product types. Our warehouses are equipped with advanced warehouse management systems (WMS) and maintain strict quality and safety standards to protect your valuable inventory.

• Bonded Warehouse Facilities: Our licensed bonded warehouses allow importers to store goods under customs supervision without paying import duties or taxes until the goods are released for domestic consumption. This provides significant cash flow advantages and flexibility for businesses engaged in international trade, re-export operations, and transit cargo handling.
• Free Zone Storage: We offer storage facilities within designated free economic zones, providing businesses with duty-free storage, simplified customs procedures, and favorable regulatory environments for manufacturing, assembly, and value-added processing operations.
• Temperature-Controlled Warehousing: Our climate-controlled facilities maintain precise temperature and humidity levels for the safe storage of pharmaceuticals, food products, chemicals, and other temperature-sensitive goods. Our cold chain solutions range from ambient-controlled environments to deep-freeze storage capabilities, ensuring product integrity throughout the storage period.
• General and Dry Storage: Standard warehousing facilities for consumer goods, industrial equipment, building materials, and general merchandise. Our dry storage areas are well-ventilated, secure, and equipped with fire suppression systems and 24/7 security monitoring.
• Hazardous Materials Storage: Specialized storage areas compliant with international safety regulations for the handling and storage of hazardous chemicals, flammable materials, and controlled substances. All our hazmat storage facilities feature appropriate containment systems, fire protection equipment, and trained personnel.
• Outdoor and Covered Yard Storage: For oversized equipment, machinery, vehicles, and bulk materials, we provide secure outdoor storage areas and covered yard facilities with heavy-duty surface capabilities and crane access for loading and unloading operations.

Distribution and Fulfillment Services

Beyond storage, 166 Global Logistics offers a full spectrum of distribution and order fulfillment services that seamlessly connect your warehouse operations to your end customers and supply chain partners.

• Pick and Pack Services: Our trained warehouse staff handle individual order picking, quality inspection, custom packaging, labeling, and shipment preparation with accuracy rates exceeding 99.5 percent. Whether you need single-item picking or complex multi-SKU kitting, our pick and pack operations are designed for speed and precision.
• Cross-Docking Operations: For time-sensitive supply chains, our cross-docking services minimize storage time by transferring incoming shipments directly to outbound transport with minimal handling. This approach reduces warehousing costs, accelerates delivery times, and improves product freshness for perishable goods.
• Last-Mile Distribution: We coordinate last-mile delivery services throughout Azerbaijan and the broader Caucasus region, utilizing our network of transport partners to ensure timely and reliable delivery to final destinations including retail stores, construction sites, and residential addresses.
• Regional Distribution Hub: Our Baku-based distribution center serves as a regional hub for companies looking to serve markets across the South Caucasus, Central Asia, and the wider Caspian region. We manage inventory positioning, order consolidation, and multi-country distribution from a single strategic location.
• E-Commerce Fulfillment: We support online retailers with dedicated e-commerce fulfillment services, including real-time inventory visibility, automated order processing, same-day shipping capabilities, and returns management.

166 Global Logistics employs state-of-the-art warehouse management technology to provide complete visibility and control over your inventory. Our WMS platforms deliver real-time tracking of all inventory movements, automated stock level alerts, lot tracking and serial number management, barcode and RFID scanning capabilities, customizable reporting and analytics dashboards, and seamless integration with client ERP and order management systems. This technology-driven approach ensures accuracy, reduces manual errors, and provides clients with the data they need to make informed supply chain decisions.
