What Is Long-Term Storage?
Long-Term Storage provides reserved pallet positions for weeks, months, or longer. Receiving, placement, inventory control, and release are managed through Platform-Guided Workflow Gates, creating a verifiable digital chain-of-custody: time-stamped photo proof (in/out) and POD.
Everything is connected to Cross-Dock, Rework, P&D, Drayage, and Hub-to-Hub via One Ops Desk.
