– Public warehousing space is available for anyone to store just about anything. This is typically a setup with a monthly rate per square footage. Public warehousing is like renting an apartment on a month to month basis. This works especially well for short-term overflow or supply and demand changes for seasonal swings.  Contract Warehousing – Contract warehousing is great for businesses that constantly fluctuate in volume. Regardless of the current holdings of the space, the square footage is contracted to you. If pallets need to be shifted, a fulfillment setup or quality checks need to be performed, then investing in contracted warehouse space is a must. The scope of what needs to be done can be discussed when the contract is created.
