Delivering directly from the warehouse hasn’t always been a first thought when trying to speed up fulfillment. But as customers ask for faster delivery, it’s time to give the warehouse a second look. That’s where crowdsourced delivery comes in. Instead of waiting for scheduled carrier sweeps or expanding your fleet, use crowdsourcing to tap into an on-demand network of drivers who are ready to deliver.

## **Warehousing last-mile logistics**

Moving products to and from the warehouse is easier than ever when Roadie has your back.

### Warehouse-to-store

Product flying off the shelves? Items leftoff the truck? A customer wants a product that’s not in stock? Roadie enables crowdsourced direct delivery when you need it.

### Store-to-warehouse

Returns and leover inventory are no problem. Roadie empowers you to move inventory back to warehouses the very same day.

### Warehouse-to-customer

Get products to your customers at lightning speed by skipping the storefront altogether. Use Roadie’s platform to deliver directly to consumers with shipping rates they can afford.

## **Crowdsourcing is the key to warehouse delivery success**

On-demand delivery keeps products moving and customers happy. Consider these benefits of tapping into a national network of independent drivers:

- Ship when and where you want.
- Lower (or eliminate) fleet maintenance costs.
- Scale volume easily and affordably.
- Meet your full range of warehouse delivery needs.

## **5 ways Roadie nails warehouse pickup and delivery logistics**

1. A nationwide network with more than 200,000 drivers across all 50 states.
2. Real-time tracking of an order’s journey to and from the warehouse.
3. Flexibility to move a range of product types and sizes with the right vehicle for the job, from compact sedans to cargo vans.
4. Put your customer in control with same-day, next-day and routed delivery options.
5. Flex volume up or down with our readily scalable crowdsourced model.
