On Demand Warehousing You Activate When Needed
Elastic storage that activates only when you need it, built for spikes, dips, and uncertainty.
When demand is unpredictable, fixed leases don’t make sense. On demand warehousing gives you an elastic buffer you can toggle on or off for campaign launches, supply chain hiccups, or returns spikes. With real-time visibility, dock scheduling, and integrated 3PL workflows, you get the same operational rigor as steady programs only scaled to fit your exact elastic warehouse capacity needs. If you’re comparing on-demand storage with short-term, long-term, bulk, or dock-access options, our Warehouse Storage for Businesses page shows how all storage programs fit together and when to use each model.

What You Activate Each Time
Dock scheduling & rapid intake for TL/LTL/containers
WMS visibility with barcode locations, cycle counts, audit trail
Zones that fit the mixracked pallet, bulk floor, cross-dock staging
Security & controls, monitored access, documented SOPs, exception photos
Optional: container devanning, transload/cross-dock, pick/pack, kitting/labeling, retail/FBA prep, returns triage
How On Demand Warehousing Works
Set the rules
Share triggers (e.g., container arrivals, launch dates), expected bands, handling needs
Pre-configure SOPs
Data fields, labels, QC steps, carrier preferences
Toggle capacity
Request activation; we schedule doors and labor
Run the wave
Receive, scan, slot, fulfill or stage
Stand down cleanly
Scale footprint back when the spike passes
On Demand or Short Term?
(1-6 months)
Elastic capacity you toggle for unpredictable spikes and short-notice needs
Reserved capacity for a defined window (e.g., 1–6 months for peaks or relocations)
→ Short Term Warehouse StorageWhen Not To Use On Demand
If you already carry a steady baseline month after month, Long Term Warehouse Storage will lower your per-pallet cost and simplify planning.

On-demand is designed for elasticity. We scope practical activation thresholds based on your product and handling needs.
Activation speed depends on your mix and notice window. During onboarding we agree on a realistic SLA for doors, labor, and data readiness.
Yespick/pack, kitting, relabeling, cross-dock, and prep can be layered into any activation.
No, the point is to protect your core by offloading waves. We coordinate carrier windows and data flows so the network stays predictable.
Common triggers include container ETAs, PO drops, launch dates, channel signals, and returns thresholds. We’ll set them up during SOP configuration.
Storage is usage-based; handling is per event or project line-item.
Absolutely, if volumes stabilize, we can transition you into a long-term plan without moving stock.
