Where is Neesvig's Facility?

Neesvigs is conveniently located just off the exit of Interstates 90 / 94 for direct access to Chicago, Minneapolis / St. Paul, Milwaukee and Madison. We are only 5 miles North of Madison and the Dane County Regional Airport. Neesvigs also has daily pickup from both UPS and FedEx which have local hubs within a few miles. We have business relationships with 3 cold storage facilities within Madison that offer daily rail service as well as refrigerated rail docks.

What are Neesvigs Capabilities?

We operate in three local facilities with a combined total of over seventy-thousand square feet of available space. One of our lots can accommodate twenty tractor trailers. All locations have a ceiling height of over twenty-five feet. Our combined cold storage slots exceed ten-thousand with the added advantage of efficient space optimization that reduces handling and increases inventory turns. Our in-house transport company makes daily pick-ups and product transfers between facilities, saving shipping costs. All of Neesvig’s core fulfillment business utilizes conveyors and flow racks. This enables easy item selection from master cases while assuring accuracy and efficiency since all items are picked as units.

What does your storage capacity mean to my business?

As noted above, we have over ten-thousand pallet spaces available. Neesvig’s works with all size customers and create space and staff based on their needs. Neesvigs philosophy towards space and staffing needs has allowed us to keep overhead costs to a minimum, which in turn gives our customers a very favorable fulfillment cost. Neesvigs order fulfillment systems allow us to share space and equipment for many customers. Neesvig’s will store all back stock items either on or off-site, while maintaining product picking slots for daily order fulfillment. This keeps the space requirements simplified to only new pick facings within our fulfillment space to allow large order volume in limited floor space. Then all companies picked orders are transferred into our drop ship area for QA and final packing. The integration of all companies’ orders into one master order fulfillment space is the key to keeping our costs in line. Our space saving strategy means that no matter what the size of the customer, the only new space necessary is the new pick facings.

How does your staffing level address my business requirements?

We conform our staff levels to our customer’s expected volume by being mindful that each customer’s unique business cycles dictate a unique staffing solution.

Please describe your ability to respond to peak demand periods.

Neesvig’s Fulfillment Services have been in operation for over 25 years servicing large and small mail-order catalog and internet customers. These customers rely on the seasonality of their business for a large part of their sales. This creates a peak around the holidays. Neesvig’s has repeatedly met this peak demand from our customers by maintaining a quality full and part-time staff with the ability to supplement additional labor from our local contracted temporary labor agencies. We are proud of our skills, systems, and knowledge that are all dedicated to meeting and exceeding our customer’s needs.
