A shipping container can provide temporary warehouse overflow for defined, environmentally suitable inventory, but it should not become an unplanned extension of the dock. Assign approved SKUs, map the truck and pedestrian interface, keep powered forklifts outside unless a competent site-specific plan allows otherwise, and preserve fire, emergency and loading routes. The WMS must show exactly what moved into the container and when it leaves.
