Revenue model

1. Contract Warehousing: Long-term dedicated warehouse space for base inventory and ongoing programs, with flexible terms and scalable capacity. Customers pay for dedicated or semi-dedicated space plus handling services under a structured warehousing/3PL agreement rather than a real estate lease.
2. Shared / Public Warehousing & Pallet Storage: Flexible pay-per-pallet and rack-position model for overflow, slow movers, or growing operations that do not need a whole building. Pricing combines storage (space/pallet positions), handling (receiving, moves, releases), and value-added work.
3. Short-Term & Seasonal Storage: Short-term project-based or seasonal storage for peak cycles, overflow, and project staging without long-term commitment.
4. Transloading, Cross-Docking & Freight Rework: Fast freight transfer between containers, trailers, or modes, plus rework services (restacking, rewrapping, relabeling, inspection/sorting) for inbound and outbound freight.
5. Fulfillment & Ecommerce Fulfillment: WMS-driven pallet, case, and each-pick fulfillment for ecommerce and DTC brands, including order processing and outbound staging.
6. Drayage & Final Mile Transport: Container drayage from ports and border crossings, plus final-mile delivery to stores, hotels, clinics, job sites, and customers. Market-dependent service paired with warehousing.
7. Yard & Trailer Storage: Secure short- and long-term yard space for trailer and container parking near key highways and markets, often integrated with drayage and warehousing programs.
8. Disposal & Debris Removal: Project clean-up tied to warehousing and logistics programs — removal of packaging, damaged goods, old fixtures, and project debris as programs wrap.
