At a multi-tenant warehouse, several customers share the same storage space and common infrastructure – the core model of shared storage logistics. The warehouse operator segregates inventory by customer in designated zones or sections, managing inbound and outbound flows according to individual orders. This significantly reduces fixed costs for SME shippers but demands robust WMS (warehouse management system) controls and transparent fee structures (e.g., per pallet position, handling, shipment). Distinct from dedicated warehousing, where a single customer holds exclusive use of a facility.
