Logistics Warehousing for Wahoo, NE Businesses

Wahoo customers who value long relationships may take comfort in this: the same family has run Gratton Warehouse Company since 1894, and today it operates as a Omaha warehouseFamily-Owned Since 1894Four generations of a single family have steered Gratton, and their 130-plus years show in careful handling and dependable service for regional shippers. in its fourth generation. As a contract warehousing provider, the company has outlasted changing technologies, freight rules and economies. G5 Logistics powers it, more than 130 years of experience stand behind it, and in 2023 voters in B2B Omaha's Best of B2B contest picked it as a winner. The approach has stayed constant: store goods carefully, ship them when promised and keep clients informed through inventory reports.

Wahoo's strength is its farm and food base, and Gratton's strength is the metro freight network those goods need to reach. Our site is handy to I-80, and other major highways are within easy reach, so trucks coming in from Saunders County can head in any compass direction without crossing downtown. Belonging to the Omaha Chamber keeps us plugged into local business, while AIB and National Safety Council ties reflect how the crew works on the floor. A single regional facility keeps distribution services straightforward for the clients who share it. Wahoo shippers need only one address to remember and one manager to call, plus a phone line staffed each weekday.

Room for Every Product Type

Storage here is organized around the goods themselves. Our pallet storage bays take items from one pound up through 10,000 pounds, while a lone unit can weigh 5 tons. The building holds machinery and industrial parts beside toys and electronics, with apparel, textiles, consumer goods, archived documents and movie sets also on the list, plus grocery and natural foods in an FDA-registered food-grade storage area. Hazmat services cover goods that require special care, and cooled space shields anything sensitive to weather. Whether your catalog is a single SKU or thousands, the process adapts, so a Wahoo feed brand and a gift shop can share one roof. Unusual inventory is welcome, including seasonal fair supplies and event display materials.

Extra services fill in the gaps. Crews perform pick and pack, build kits and sub-assemblies, take on special projects, ship break-bulk loads and time JIT deliveries to a customer's production. Returns management covers whatever comes back. Every step lands in our inventory tracking, so a Wahoo owner can check progress from a truck cab or the front office and skip the long chain of emails.

Planning Around Local Seasons

Business in Saunders County has a clear rhythm, from planting and harvest to the county fair and the holiday rush. Gratton's public warehousing approach was made for that kind of change, because space is rented by month with no minimum commitment. When your volume swells we take in more pallets; when it fades you release them. You never need to sign a multiyear lease to cover a few busy weeks. A producer that ships heavily in fall, backed by contract warehousing terms that flex, can scale up for harvest, scale down in winter and scale up again for spring orders, all under the same account and with the same manager.

Getting started takes a short call. Share your product list, a monthly volume guess and carrier preferences, and we will describe the route from dock door to pallet storage to outbound truck. Container loading and unloading, cross-dock transfers and special projects can be discussed at the same time. Afterward your account manager is the single point of contact, which frees a small Wahoo team to spend its week on customers. If you decide a third-party logistics partner is right for Wahoo, a phone call or online request is all that stands between you and the next step.
