Company Performance Metrics
- Philipp Schatz: CTO & Co-FounderPast Role: Fliit, VP Logistics Operations
DepotCity was founded in 2017 in Cologne, Germany. The company provides a platform for warehouse and fulfillment solutions. DepotCity digitalizes the entire process from booking storage solutions, the operational management as well as the reporting on inventories. This service is achieved through integrations into major merchant-, shop and
warehouse management systems.
This modern-day service is relevant for vendors, producers and logistic companies: all the mentioned groups seek storage solutions to seamlessly run their respective operations. Before DepotCity the search for suitable warehouse space and fulfillment services was a timely, in transparent and manual task: desk research, phone calls and emails used to be the tools to purchase storage space. In addition, in-depth logistical knowledge was advantageous to compare and rate different service offerings. Additionally, minimum trading units and inflexible contract durations made short term usage of storage solutions nearly impossible.
DepotCity is an easy and comfortable solution to this problem. Through its website www.depotcity.de, after filling out basic information about the required service, an offer is made and can be booked instantly. Using these developed tools, booking of storage space becomes as easy as booking a flight / hotel. Using scaling effects DepotCity can offer competitive prices. In addition, the company does not require fixed contract length or minimum trading units.
