The Salvation Army has inked an exclusive 10-year agreement with Warehouse Exchange, a technology marketplace and online platform, to fill underutilized warehouse space, including possible space in Pasadena.

In a statement, Warehouse Exchange said the program will roll out over the coming months in the 13 states that make up the Salvation Army’s Western Territory. Under the agreement, the Salvation Army will use Silicon Beach’s answer to the inefficiencies of warehouse space as a tool for modernizing its system, allowing others to use their facilities in California, Oregon, and Arizona.

Warehouse Exchange will be adding these locations through its Partners Program and will fill space in four to six months, with a waiting list thereafter.

As a digital warehouse marketplace, Warehouse Exchange allows larger tenants to supplement dedicated space with an on-demand component and offers smaller users a simple warehousing solution without the need to make long-term commitments, provide personal guarantees, or negotiate lengthy contracts.

Commissioner Douglas Riley, territorial commander of Salvation Army’s USA Western Territory, said they are excited to be part of Warehouse Exchange’s Partners Program and look forward to benefiting from the exchange’s technology and logistics expertise.

“For over 150 years, The Salvation Army has met human need wherever, whenever, and however we can. Today, with this move towards the cutting edge, we are embracing some of the latest advances in technology and process improvement to run our expansive infrastructure,” Riley said. “At a time of great humanitarian need, it’s terrific to know our excess warehouse space will be used to help support local businesses while generating revenues that will advance our organization’s mission – to rebuild lives.”

Grant Langston, CEO of Warehouse Exchange, said they are inspired to see the Salvation Army, an organization with such a long history, willing to embrace the most innovative ideas.

“The Salvation Army seems committed to using the latest advances in technology and supply-chain science to improve their sprawling and complex network,” Langston said. “We know how to use an online platform to meet needs on both sides of a marketplace and to create a new category – in this case on-demand warehouse space. Our partnership with The Salvation Army, one of the world’s most respected organizations, is a great way to support their work while building a burgeoning new category to meet the evolving space and logistics needs of direct to consumer commerce.”

Aside from Pasadena, Warehouse Exchange has other facilities throughout California, to include Modesto, Anaheim, Santa Ana, San Bernardino, and Hesperia, as well as facilities in Oregon and Arizona.

Warehouse Exchange said it will also be opening new facilities with other suppliers around the country, all of which will rely on the marketplace platform.
