The digital logistics start-up Warespace is massively expanding the offering of its platform “Palletspace”. In the future, not only partners from its own network will be able to offer storage capacities through the system, but also external logistics service providers and warehousing companies. The company states that it aims to increase the number of spaces bookable through Palletspace by up to 10,000 percent by the end of 2025.
“From our perspective, the increasing demand for dynamic, digitally designed services for space booking requires quickly scalable solutions. By opening up Palletspace, we can now offer this to the market,” explains Sebastian Richter, founder and managing director of Warespace, as the reason for this step.
With this opening, the Paderborn company is responding to the growing demand for flexible storage solutions in an increasingly volatile market environment, according to its own statement.
"We are increasing for the users of our application the range of storage options available to them for pallet goods to an extent never seen before," says Jonas Tritschallek, also founder and managing director of Warespace.
The platform offers customers from industry and trade short-term available storage spaces – digitally bookable, efficiently planned, and cost-transparently managed. This is supported by Warespace's digital expertise and a platform model that makes free capacities available almost in real-time.
Palletspace, which launched in the summer of 2024, initially utilized warehouse spaces from the network of Cargo Digital World (CDW) and CargoLine. With the current step to open the system, the internationalization of Warespace is also being advanced. New partnerships with providers in the European single market and beyond are expected to enable long-term projects with major industrial and commercial companies.
Audits of warehouse locations to ensure quality
For shippers, the platform thus provides access to storage capacities in Germany and numerous other European countries - without long-term commitments or rigid contract models. At the same time, Warespace ensures quality through regular audits of connected warehouse locations, which check security and competence standards.
A central element remains real-time transparency: users can always see the status of their stored goods and react dynamically to demand peaks – for example, with rapidly rotating goods or seasonally induced peak loads. The platform structure ensures that new capacities are always available, even at high utilization.
From Cargoline to CDW to Warespace to Palletspace
Palletspace provider Warespace was founded in April 2024 out of Cargo Digital World (CDW). CDW itself was established in 2021 as a platform for developing and scaling digital logistics solutions. CargoLine and its members act as investors. CDW's goal is to develop digital business models along the entire supply chain.
