Campus warehousing capabilities
Frequently asked questions about campus-based warehousing
Shared warehousing at GEODIS operates through multi-client campuses containing multiple warehouses in close proximity. We share labor across operations, allowing our workforce to flex between buildings based on your weekly, daily, or hourly requirements. Material handling equipment and resources are utilized across operations. Physical segregation using walls, fencing, and cages maintains security. Campus management teams meet weekly to coordinate resources and ensure optimal efficiency across all clients.
GEODIS maintains strict security within shared facilities through physical segregation using walls, fencing, and cages between different operations. Separate points of entry can be established for different clients. Motion sensors and security technology monitor all areas. Our facilities maintain C-TPAT validation and 24-hour surveillance. Complete system separation ensures data security while physical barriers protect inventory integrity.
Labor sharing is coordinated through campus management based on client requirements. When one operation experiences volume increases, trained workers from other campus buildings provide support. This flexing happens seamlessly through established processes. Our Contract Logistics division employs thousands of employees across the network, with campus coordination ensuring appropriate staffing levels while optimizing labor costs.
Multi-client warehousing serves diverse businesses needing flexibility. Operations with seasonal variations use flex space for peak periods. Growing companies access resources without long-term commitments. Businesses with fluctuating inventory benefit from scalable space. The model works for companies ranging from startups to Fortune 100 organizations. Any operation where fixed costs burden profitability will find value in shared resources.
Campus facilities can provide additional space rapidly due to proximity and coordination. Short-term flex space deploys without lengthy negotiations or commitments. Because multiple warehouses operate in close proximity with available capacity, we can meet overflow needs quickly. Labor and equipment scale simultaneously through campus resource sharing. This responsiveness proves valuable during unexpected volume surges or seasonal peaks.
Each campus maintains dedicated teams focused on operational excellence and rapid issue resolution. These professionals coordinate resources through weekly management meetings and ensure smooth operations across all campus clients. The on-site presence means immediate response to operational needs without delays. Teams understand multi-client operations and provide specialized support for warehouse optimization, resource allocation, and continuous improvement initiatives.
Campus management teams meet weekly to discuss operational efficiencies and share best practices. Daily coordination balances labor, equipment, and space across facilities. Resource allocation responds to real-time demand through established processes. Performance monitoring ensures all clients maintain service levels. This systematic approach optimizes resource usage while maintaining individual operational requirements.
Shared warehousing reduces costs through multiple mechanisms. Labor expenses decrease by sharing workforce across operations. Equipment utilization improves through shared material handling resources. Management overhead spreads across multiple clients. Combined operations can leverage better utility rates. These shared economics reduce total warehousing costs compared to dedicated facilities.
Yes, campus-based warehousing particularly benefits smaller operations. Access to resources like our advanced WMS, specialized equipment, and trained labor becomes feasible through sharing. Flex space accommodates growth without commitment risk. On-site support teams provide expertise typically unavailable to small operations. The ability to scale resources based on actual needs makes campus warehousing valuable for growing businesses.
Campus operations excel at logistics coordination through co-location. Products move between warehousing, value-added services, and transportation within the same campus. This eliminates drayage between separate facilities. Integrated WMS provides visibility across services. The proximity enables efficient product flow and reduced handling. This integration creates faster processing and lower total logistics costs compared to scattered operations.
