On-demand warehousing services
Frequently asked questions about on-demand warehousing
For basic storage needs, we can activate warehouse space within a few days using standard IWLA contracts and our existing warehouse management systems. More complex operations requiring pick-pack capabilities, custom integration, or value-added services will take longer to setup. During the current tariff window, we're prioritizing rapid activation to help importers capitalize on reduced tariff rates.
GEODIS maintains strategic empty space near major import gateways including Long Beach, Los Angeles, New York/New Jersey, Savannah, Charleston, Houston, Jacksonville, and Miami. We currently have over 5 million square feet of immediately available space across these key markets, with particular strength in port-adjacent facilities that minimize drayage costs and transit times.
Absolutely. GEODIS operates multiple FTZ-designated facilities where you can store imported goods indefinitely without paying duties. This strategy helps you import during the favorable 90-day window while deferring duty payments until products actually enter U.S. commerce.
On-demand warehousing provides the same operational capabilities as traditional warehousing but with flexible terms and rapid activation. Services range from basic pallet storage to full pick-pack-ship operations with value-added services. The key difference is contract flexibility and implementation speed.
Our campus model provides unique flexibility for volume changes. By operating multiple clients in shared facilities, we can quickly reallocate space, labor, and equipment based on demand. This means you can scale up for import surges or seasonal peaks, then reduce space during slower periods.
Every GEODIS facility runs an enterprise-grade warehouse management system. You can start with manual processes or spreadsheet uploads for immediate activation, then implement EDI or API integration within a few weeks. We connect with virtually all major ERP and order management systems.
Yes. GEODIS facilities support multi-channel distribution strategies. Our systems handle everything from full pallet shipments to individual piece-pick orders, with real-time inventory visibility across all channels.
Three key differentiators set GEODIS apart. First, our integrated capabilities mean your on-demand warehousing connects seamlessly with freight forwarding, customs brokerage, and transportation management—critical during time-sensitive import windows. Second, our nationwide warehousing and transportation networks provide more location options and backup capacity than specialized on-demand providers. Third, our established operations mean no startup delays—walk into fully functional facilities with trained staff and proven systems.
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 during opportunity windows like the current 90-day tariff reduction, 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.
