OPENING THE WAREHOUSE DOORS: Cloud Computing and Distributed Warehousing

How logistics is leveling the playing field for small and midsize businesses

- 

During 15 years working in fulfillment and logistics, Ben Eachus saw how inadequate software affected small and midsize businesses (SMBs). Finding warehouse space across the country was difficult as well, with no single integration point connecting inventory to the final destination. This lead Eachus and Jason Harbert to co-found Flowspace, where they built proprietary software to manage inventory, provide full visibility, and find optimal fulfillment locations. They paired this software with access to hundreds of warehouses across the country to manage fulfillment and transportation, allowing SMBs to scale at will.
