Temporary or contingency warehouse storage refers to a facility you can call upon when you have excess stock that requires storing for a short time. Often, warehousing contracts require businesses to sign a lease commitment that is out of sync with requirements, whereas overspill warehouse contracts tend to be shorter-term. Contingency, temporary or emergency warehouse storage supports critical changes in demand and fast-moving infrastructure needs.
Finding temporary warehouse space in an already constrained market can be difficult; however with our network and years of experience, our team of warehouse solutions specialists are able to source empty or shared contingency warehouse space rentals within minimal compromise.
Bis Henderson Space is adept at understanding what concessions our clients are willing to make and what they aren’t. It uses this information to source a selection of warehouses with immediate availability.
We are also experienced in negotiating short-term contracts, helping you solve your emergency and temporary storage needs without signing an agreement you aren’t 100% comfortable with. Short-term contracts provide the immediate and mid-term flexibility our customers seek whilst we work to help you implement longer-term strategic intentions.
Any business involved in commerce may require temporary storage at some point, mainly when unexpected shifts in consumer behaviour mean you overstock ahead of a season. We have experience supporting companies across the 3PL, retail, food and manufacturing sectors to secure overspilled storage space without disrupting operations.
