Summary
WarehouseBook is a logistics' booking.com for warehouses and storage spaces, creating new market on EU level.
In modern societies, logistics has become one of the most important economical sub-systems. With e-commerce and cargo transport rising, a lean manufacturing and on-demand supply chain delivery, there is the abundance of warehouses and storage spaces. But still, this huge warehouse network is reachable only through personal contacts, in known environment. There simply is no online database or platform where logistics planners would be able to book a warehouse for transporters to deliver the goods, but it has to be done personally, and weeks in advance.
This causes issues both for drivers and for warehouse providers. Drivers and their office support simply don't have a plan B if delays occur. If driver comes to the delivery location after hours, he/she often needs to spend the night and come again in the morning, which produces further delays along the delivery route, more costs, and penalties. On the other hand, warehouses are almost never fully occupied, and are continuously missing opportunities for additional income.
