Logistics Warehousing for Plano, TX Businesses

The Omaha family that founded Gratton Warehouse Company in 1894 still runs it, and a fourth generation is in charge now. For Plano readers used to modern corporate campuses, that may sound old-fashioned, but more than 130 years of experience is a practical asset in contract warehousing work. G5 Logistics provides the company's backbone, and cloud software plus wireless scanning joined the toolkit along the way. In 2023 Gratton was among the winners in B2B Omaha's Best of B2B awards, a mark of local recognition. That continuity gives Plano shippers a stable partner even when their own teams or products change. A company that has handled freight since 1894 has seen carriers, regulations and product lines come and go, and it brings that perspective to every new account.

We keep the story simple. Gratton is an Omaha warehouseFourth-Generation FamilySince 1894 leadership has remained with one Omaha family, and the fourth generation now blends proven habits with cloud software and scanners. with a single location near I-80, built for shippers who want central-U.S. inventory, overflow room or a Midwest base for distribution services that reach several states. It does not replace a Texas building if your customers are mostly in the Dallas area. Affiliations include AIB, plus the National Safety Council and the chamber back in Omaha, and those reflect our focus on safe, documented work. If a different setup would serve you better, our team will say so. Because our warehouse management system is cloud-based, a Plano team can oversee the account without leaving town.

What Our Floor Accepts

Shelves and racks here hold general merchandise and consumer goods first of all, then textiles, apparel, electronics and toys. Industrial machinery is handled too, and grocery and natural foods go into our FDA-registered facility. Documents can be stored, and movie sets have used the space. Several lines can sit in one Plano account, so billing and pallet storage terms stay easy to follow. Seasonal lines can be stored in smaller lots and brought forward as demand rises, which keeps cash from sitting idle on the floor. Document storage is also available for offices that need records kept somewhere safe.

Plano shippers will find the limits generous. A unit of up to 5 tons can arrive at the dock, loads may weigh 1 to 10,000 pounds, and as many as 5,000 SKUs can be tracked. For special products there are hazmat services and temperature-controlled space. Scanners confirm each move wirelessly, so your inventory tracking record mirrors the racks, a comfort when you cannot walk the aisles.

Freight and Value-Added Work

Beyond storage, Gratton unloads and loads containers, runs cross-docking transfers, breaks down bulk freight and handles just-in-time shipments. We will also handle pick and pack tasks, kit and sub-assemble components, run special projects and perform other value-added work. Shipping can be expedited, LTL, truckload or parcel (UPS, FedEx, USPS), and a buyer preferring a hands-on pickup can ask for will-call service. One account manager coordinates everything for you, with inventory reports to refer back to, so nothing depends on memory or a sticky note.

Starting small is easy because agreements are month-to-month and carry no minimum. Plano companies with a seasonal peak can bring product in ahead of the rush, draw it down through the busy weeks and leave the shelves empty again afterward under public warehousing terms, paying attention to storage only when it matters. That kind of flexibility is hard to get from a fixed lease. Phone (402) 339-9993 while the office is open and we will talk through how freight would get from Plano to Omaha and when you could begin. Your finance team can then set e-commerce fulfillment costs next to a Texas lease, and walking away is fine if the numbers fall short. Seasonal overflow is a natural place to start for a Texas shipper.
