Project description
Taking stock of cargo transport’s warehouse needs
Imagine an Airbnb-type of warehouse and storage space option. It’s an emerging model aimed at meeting the growing need of e-commerce and cargo transport. Currently, warehouses and storage spaces are reachable only through personal contacts. The EU-funded WarehouseBook project aims to reverse this trend. It will create an online database where logistics planners can book a warehouse for transporters to deliver their goods. The database will feature warehouses, listing their offer and type. It will also allow the cargo companies to rent a warehouse where the driver can unload the cargo. Coordinated by Slovenia’s IDL Logistika, the project will bring more than 10 000 EU warehouses and transport providers together.
Objective
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.
WarehouseBook is a booking.com for such warehouses, enabling them streamlined process of listing their offer and type, market exposure and admin automation, while on the other side enabling logistic planners and drivers to easily rent a warehouse, unload the cargo, and continue on the delivery route, while the warehouse service can make the last-mile delivery to final recipient.
IDL Logistika is an awarded industry insider cooperating with 90% of European transport providers. Its key markets are Slovenia, Croatia and Czech Republic, and it organizes transport throughout Europe. WarehouseBook will enable the company to bring 10.000+ EU warehouses and transport providers together to make business that otherwise wouldn't exist! For the company this would result in 23 mio
revenue in 5 years.
