Warehouse Workforces and Management—Detailed Writing Samples
This is a collection of four guides that I wrote for my client, Wonolo, and that are published on their blog. These writing portfolio samples are based on a theme of warehousing, specifically around optimizing systems and staffing, common warehouse terms, peak seasons, and warehouse gigs. I wrote these guides for an audience that wants to:
Understand the various terms and systems used inside warehouses.
Optimize warehouse operations and logistics.
Manage a workforce to handle busy periods and peak seasons.
Educate temporary workers about what to expect when taking on a job in a warehouse.
You will find links to each published sample below.

Your Guide to Warehouse Terms
“If you’re searching for the right warehouse and logistics services for your needs, all the terms they use can be confusing. If you don’t know your cross-docking from your consolidation, or your public warehousing from your picking and packing, how can you find the perfect solution for your storage and distribution needs? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. We’ve looked into all of these terms to give you a helpful glossary and guide to the various services a warehousing business can offer you.”
How to Get Your Goods Out on Time During Busy Periods — Seasonal Variation in Logistics and Distribution
“It’s vital to get products to customers as quickly and efficiently as possible, and you can achieve that through having a first-class distribution operation. Logistics are very complex — you’re managing multiple orders, a sizable workforce, stock and inventory, vehicles, drivers, pickers, technology, warehousing, storage, and more.
This complexity is compounded during busy times of the year, but you can’t compromise on speed or quality of service. Instead you need to predict when these seasonal variations are likely to happen and ensure you have the workforce and operational plan in place to distribute goods efficiently. That way you can maximize satisfaction and ensure you get goods to your customers on time.”
Tips to Optimize Your Warehouse Management System and Staffing
“Effective warehouse storage, distribution, and management relies on powerful software that optimizes how you run your facilities. Whether you’re a logistics hub, storage unit, supplier warehouse, or freight forwarder, you need to optimize your intake, storage, picking, packing, and distribution.
One way to do this is through using warehouse management system (WMS) software. That’s only half of the solution though — you need effective policies and processes so your WMS works flawlessly with your staff. Whether you use temporary workers or a permanent workforce, it’s vital to optimize your WMS and your staffing so you can meet the challenges of the modern warehouse workplace.”
Thinking About Trying a Warehouse Gig? Here Are Answers to the Most Common Questions
“If you’re looking for work in the Wonolo app, and have always overlooked warehouse gigs, it’s time to think again. There are many employers offering warehouse roles, and you’ll almost certainly be able to find a warehouse job that meets your skills, fitness level, and capabilities.
Don’t worry, a warehouse role can be easier than you think, and will provide you with some good, basic skills that you can use elsewhere. Plus, with the number of warehouse gigs we have in Wonolo, it’s another great way to boost your experience, and your earnings.”
