Ukrainian startup expanding Polish warehouse base

Warehouse platforms are actively developing in the Polish market. One of the active players in this segment is the Ukrainian startup WareTeka. The company creates a bridge connecting all market players. Entrepreneurs who want to quickly expand their warehouse space or outsource logistics find reliable partners and those who provide such services can find new customers. Within a year, the team managed to create the largest warehouse base in the whole country. Now it is over a thousand proposals in one database with a total area of ​​over 6 million sqm. In the fall of 2020, WareTeka expanded its presence on European markets – the platform was launched in Poland.

“We started our activity in the Ukrainian market. After some time, we worked closely with major logistics service providers in Ukraine. So the time has come to take a step forward, which is why we examined European markets in terms of expansion. Poland turned out to be the most attractive. Of course, promoting a product in other countries is not easy. This is where the support helped us of, among others, the Polish-Ukrainian Startup Bridge project, which allowed us to prepare the ground for entering a new market,” Oleksii Mospan, Head of Product WareTeka. said.

Today, WareTeka is actively expanding the Polish warehouse base. 

“The warehouse is a key element in supply chains. In order to scale and expand outlets, companies must develop their warehouse infrastructure. Often, searching for information about vacant space is time-consuming because the market is closed and poorly represented on the Internet. As a result, companies spend months looking for warehouse space that meets their requirements. Additionally, this is even more of a problem during peak demand. If the company does not have sufficient warehouse space, it loses part of its profits,” Oleksii Mospan added.

The startup team already cooperates with fulfillment operators, 3PL, and brokers. Among the partners are, among others Enterprise Logistics or GEODIS Poland. In the near future, WareTeka plans to automate the interaction between 3PL and fulfillment operators. To this end, the team is developing an On-Demand service with a personal account for managing warehouse operations –the product launch is planned for a few months.
