### Being an operations manager is stressful enough; finding warehouse space shouldn’t be.

Before [Flowspace](/content/site-root.html), I ran a distribution center at a fast-growing ecommerce company and we had 500 [pallets](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pallet) of product set to arrive in a few days. The only problem was that I had absolutely no place to store them. I looked at our storage utilization report from our [WMS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warehouse_management_system), which read “110%” and thought to myself, “How is that even possible?”

I was stressed. I looked online for available space in the area; no source exists. I called commercial brokers in the area looking for short-term warehouse storage and they told me I should walk around the neighborhood and ask around to see who had space. I thought to myself, “Yes, let me add driving to random warehouses to my list after the receiving [kaizen project](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaizen), WMS testing, and staffing models I’m working on.”

When I complained to my wife about the problem, she listened patiently and asked, “Well, what are you going to do about it?”  
[Flowspace](/content/site-root.html) is our answer to that question. This is more than a business for us. It’s a mission to make the jobs of the hard-working people in supply chain and operations easier.
