# Warehouse

## Understanding Warehouse(s)

### What is a Warehouse?

In Canary7, a warehouse is configured with attributes such as locations, zones, capacities and operational rules. This setup ensures that inventory control, order processing, and shipment management are handled efficiently, supporting smooth and effective logistics operations.

Moreover, Canary7 supports **Multi-Warehouse**, allowing organisations to manage several locations from one centralised platform for streamlined and effective logistics operations.

### Accessing Warehouse

Within the Navigation menu, click on the search bar, type ''Warehouse'' and click on "Warehouse". Warehouse is also in Configuration, under System Setup > Warehouse.
