How Johnson Contract Warehousing Works in San Diego

Dedicated Capacity at Our San Diego Facility

We reserve warehouse space for your business at our San Diego facility in Otay Mesa. Your contract warehousing program starts with a defined allocation of pallet positions or floor space based on your steady-state inventory volumes, not just today’s overflow.

What your San Diego contract includes:

  • Pre-agreed pallet positions or square footage at our 60,000 sq ft facility.
  • Clear service levels and operating hours at the San Diego warehouse.
  • The ability to scale capacity up or down as your programs change without renegotiating a building lease.

Our San Diego location is positioned near the U.S.–Mexico border with access to I-5 and I-805, making it a strong fit for contract programs that serve Southern California, the Southwest, or cross-border supply chains.

Customized Handling and Processes

We document how your product needs to be handled and build that into our workflows:

  • Receiving and inspection requirements.
  • Putaway rules and storage locations.
  • Lot, batch, or serial tracking as needed.
  • Pick/pack, kitting, or value-added steps.
  • Labeling, documentation, and compliance needs.

Your procedures become our standard operating procedures for your account. At our San Diego facility, your SOPs are managed by the local operations team. You work directly with the people who receive, store, and ship your product.

Asset-Based Warehouse and Fleet

Because we own and operate the warehouse and trucks, there is no extra layer between you and your inventory. You work directly with the team that is storing and moving your product, which means faster communication, fewer surprises, and easier coordination with your other Johnson services.

In San Diego, that means the team storing your inventory and the drivers moving your freight are Johnson employees operating from the same Otay Mesa facility.

Visibility and Reporting

We use a warehouse management system (WMS) to track your inventory, orders, and movements. You get:

  • Clear visibility into on-hand inventory and activity at our San Diego warehouse.
  • Regular reporting tailored to your ops, finance, or project teams.
  • Data that helps you plan production, projects, and replenishment with more confidence.
