Is Shared Warehousing the New Normal ?

Warehousing, being largely a capital-intensive function is the next target of sharing economy. With continuous expansion in the business domain, sharing of warehouse space seems to be the only logical option depicting clear benefits to warehouse users.  It is transformation of excessive capacity into a revenue-generating engine, offering “warehousing service” to organization in need of space.

For a growing manufacturer, who has either outgrown the product capacity or has a part of business based on seasonal products, is required to increase warehouse storage capacity for a short period of time. Traditionally, one would have considered running into a project of evaluating options to build or buy  new facility at an extreme cost for a longer time period. But, with the augment of “Shared Economy” as a concept the option of ‘Shared Warehousing space’ now exists.

The warehouse-sharing platform is not only a great contributor to alienate the unending tussle between investment & optimization, but also offers agreements based on pay as you go, model. It is time for Logistics companies in India to rethink & reevaluate the way of managing excess capacity and devise techniques of turning wastes into profit. Shared warehousing can be a tremendous contributor for delivering incremental revenue for asset owners, is surely an option to manage and meet the growing needs of warehousing space.
