A warehouse is a specific area or place dedicated to the administration and storage of commodities. These items may be raw materials, components, or finished things. 

A warehouse is a structure used to store commodities and mostly used by manufacturers to keep finished items prior to distribution for sale. Retail and wholesale businesses store items in warehouses to swiftly refill empty shelves. Warehouses are utilized by manufacturers, importers, exporters, wholesalers, transportation companies, customs, and others. They are often enormous plain buildings located on the edges of cities, towns, or villages. Loading docks are commonly used in warehouses to load and unload items from lorries. Warehouses are sometimes designed to load and unload goods directly from railways, airports, or seaports.

They frequently use cranes and forklifts to transport items, which are typically stacked on ISO standard pallets and then loaded into pallet racks. Raw materials, packing materials, spare parts, components, and completed commodities related with agriculture, manufacturing, and industry can all be stored.
