On-Demand Warehousing Solutions

On-demand warehousing provides flexible access to professional warehouse space and services on short-term agreements, typically month-to-month. At GEODIS, you can access our U.S. warehousing network, complete with trained staff, WMS technology, and operational support. We handle everything from space allocation to labor management, while you pay only for the space and services actually used. This model eliminates long-term lease commitments and capital investments while providing the same operational quality as dedicated facilities.

Our 20+ multi-client campuses have flexible space for rapid deployment, with trained staff and systems ready to activate. Pop-up facilities provide quick access to professional warehouse space during peak seasons or unexpected demand surges. The campus model enables immediate resource sharing, allowing us to shift labor and equipment between facilities based on your needs. Deployment timing varies based on requirements and complexity, with our experienced teams working to get your operations running as quickly as possible.

Yes, our on-demand warehousing includes access to specialized storage capabilities across our warehouse facilities. This includes temperature-controlled environments for food and pharmaceuticals, high-security areas for valuable goods, hazmat-certified storage, and Foreign Trade Zone operations. Each specialized service maintains the same flexibility as standard warehousing, though availability varies by location. We match your specific requirements with the appropriate warehouse facilities while maintaining flexible terms.

Absolutely. Our WMS integrates with major ERP systems, order management platforms, and eCommerce tools through EDI, API, or file transfer protocols. Every on-demand warehouse uses the same technology platform, ensuring consistent integration regardless of location. You'll have real-time visibility through our portal while maintaining data flow with your existing systems. 

Our campus model revolutionizes flexibility by concentrating multiple warehouse operations in close proximity. This enables the sharing of labor, equipment, and management resources across facilities. When you need to scale up, we can immediately deploy trained workers from other campus operations. When scaling down, those resources shift to other clients. This unique approach provides instant flexibility while maintaining consistent service quality and eliminating the delays of traditional staffing.

Every on-demand warehouse operates under the same quality standards as our dedicated facilities. We maintain ISO certifications, implement standardized SOPs, and use the same WMS across all locations. Your products receive the same careful handling whether stored for one month or one year. Our 95% client retention rate demonstrates that flexibility doesn't compromise quality. Regular audits and KPI monitoring through our Visibility Portal ensure consistent performance across all facilities.

On-demand warehousing serves diverse business needs. eCommerce companies use it for seasonal overflow and geographic expansion. Manufacturers leverage it for project cargo and supply chain buffers. Retailers deploy it for promotional inventory and market testing. Importers utilize it for port overflow and customs delays. Any business facing variable demand, entering new markets, or seeking to convert fixed costs to variable expenses benefits from our flexible warehousing solutions.

On-demand warehousing makes sense if you face variable import volumes, uncertain tariff environments, seasonal demand patterns, or multi-channel distribution needs. It's particularly valuable as tariffs and the deminimis exemption change, allowing you to maximize imports without long-term space commitments. Our experts can analyze your specific situation and recommend the optimal balance of committed and flexible warehouse capacity.

Our campus model ensures skilled workers are available for specialized tasks. Whether you need simple re-labeling or complex assembly operations, we configure services to match your requirements. Many clients specifically choose on-demand warehousing to access our value-added capabilities without permanent commitments.
