Cover Story: The on-demand warehousing (ODW) model is emerging as a platform-enabled logistics solution based on resource sharing for businesses needing storage space. It is based on a business-to-business marketplace where companies can provide (or request) storage services with an elevated level of flexibility. A SWOT analysis is presented, followed by an exploratory analysis of multiple case studies, providing a first discussion on the advantages, criticalities, and challenges of this model. The evolution of the ODW model is also described: several former pure ODW platforms have been changing their business model to become on-demand 4PLs, adapting their core activities to manage the criticalities of on-demand services. This study represents the first attempt to investigate the benefits and criticalities of ODW models, outlining the latest trends. View this paper
