Bringing AWS-like Flexibility to Inventory Storage?

Bringing AWS-like Flexibility to Inventory Storage?

Self-storage is no longer just for de-cluttering your home. For Singapore-based Work+Store, it has become a flexible operational hub for SMEs and e-commerce retailers, offering everything from packing stations and last-mile support to specialised wine storage.

CEO Danny Wong joins us to share their journey of building a modern self-storage business. He discusses their "co-warehousing" model that provides crucial support for e-commerce businesses, their strategy of optimising older buildings into flexible spaces, and why Malaysian SMEs are increasingly using their platform to establish a foothold in Singapore.

We discuss:

  • The evolution of self-storage from personal use to a B2B operational hub.

  • Their "co-warehousing" model with packing stations and fulfillment support.

  • The rise of specialised solutions like air-conditioned and wine storage.

  • How they act as an incubator for growing e-commerce brands.

  • Why Malaysian businesses are using flexible storage to enter the Singapore market.
