Key differences

Model
Spacefill is order management software: it connects the 3PLs you already contract with to one OMS and doesn’t offer warehouse space. Flexe gives you capacity in 3,500+ independent warehouses, matched to your requirements by a Flexe expert.
Best for
Spacefill fits brands and 3PLs in France and Germany that already outsource to several 3PLs and need orders routed across them. Flexe fits mid-market and enterprise storage and distribution programs in the US and Canada.
Technology
Spacefill’s OMS connects to each 3PL’s own WMS and says it has 50+ native WMS connectors. Flexe’s WMS runs at every warehouse in the Marketplace, with nothing to install.
Pricing
Spacefill sells a SaaS subscription and doesn’t publish prices. Flexe negotiates against the Spot Warehousing Index, a monthly benchmark for on-demand storage pricing.

Company Overview

Flexe

Warehouse Marketplace
What is Flexe?
Flexe is the largest marketplace of flexible, on-demand warehousing in North America. Founded in 2013 and fueled by its proprietary tech stack, expert operations support, and industry-first pricing and availability benchmark data, Flexe connects enterprises and warehouse operators to bring agility to warehousing, the part of the supply chain still locked into long-term leases. Headquartered in Seattle, its network spans 1,100+ operators and 3,500+ locations across the U.S. and Canada.
What you get
Technology: Search capacity by location, port of entry and capabilities in Flexe Discover. Compare 1,100+ operators across 3,500+ locations against your own requirements, before any RFP. Every operator runs on Flexe’s WMS. Connect once by API, EDI, XML or a simple CSV upload, and access every operator in the network.
The services: White-glove service from scoping and sourcing through bidding, onboarding and operations, so you never start over between dedicated teams.
The data: The Flexe Spot Warehousing Index benchmarks pricing, vacancy and demand intensity every month, nationally and across 21 regional markets. Use it to time a decision, negotiate with current providers, and know when to renegotiate or right-size.
Who it’s for
Mid-market and enterprise shippers ($100M+ in revenue) in retail, beverage, food, industrial manufacturing and CPG.

Spacefill

OMS software
What is Spacefill?
Spacefill is a Paris-based software company that calls itself “the orchestration OMS for outsourced logistics.” It connects to each 3PL’s existing warehouse management system and gives 3PLs a white-label portal for their clients. Spacefill started in 2018 as a European warehouse marketplace. Its current site offers software only, with no warehouse space to find or book.
What you get
One system for logistics you’ve already outsourced. Spacefill says its OMS manages stock, orders, deliveries, returns and disputes “whatever the number of providers, warehouses or sales channels,” and routes each order to the right 3PL. It claims “50+ WMS natively connected” and integration “in under 30 days on average.”
Who it’s for
3PLs, and the brands, distributors and manufacturers that outsource logistics to them, with operations in France and Germany. Spacefill says it’s deployed at 150+ 3PLs across Europe. It doesn’t say what company sizes or industries it targets.

Where Flexe is the better fit

You need more warehouse capacity in the US or Canada, not just a way to manage the 3PLs you already have. You want space matched to your product, run on one WMS, with a team that manages it after you sign. If finding and running new capacity is the job, not coordinating orders across existing 3PLs, Flexe is likely the better fit.

Where Spacefill is the better fit

You already work with several 3PLs in France or Germany and need one system to route orders, see stock and handle returns across all of them. Spacefill connects to the warehouse systems your 3PLs already run, so nobody switches WMS. If you’re a 3PL that wants a branded portal for your clients, it’s built for that too.
How it works

From search to signed to live

01

Find the space

Flexe
Search Flexe Discover by location or port of entry, storage needed and radius. Filter by capabilities such as food grade, racked storage or secured access. Discover shows current capacity. When you find a fit, submit your requirements and a Flexe solutions expert follows up to scope the solution. The Spot Warehousing Index gives you a monthly read on market pricing before any RFP.
Spacefill
Spacefill doesn’t find space. You bring the 3PL contracts you already have, and Spacefill connects their warehouse systems to one order management system. If you need a new location, you source and sign that 3PL yourself, and Spacefill then connects it.

02

How to get it under contract

Flexe
Flexe’s solutions team matches your scope to operator capabilities and locations, then runs bidding and selection. One managed process, negotiated against a monthly market benchmark.
Spacefill
You request a demo. Spacefill sells a SaaS subscription and doesn’t publish prices. It says there’s no setup and no charge per user or per order. Your storage and handling contracts stay with each 3PL.

03

What happens after signing

Flexe
Every operator runs on Flexe’s WMS, so you connect once by API, EDI, XML or CSV and see inventory, orders and shipments from every site. Flexe’s solutions, implementation and operations teams run each stage, and the monthly Index tells you when to renegotiate or right-size.
Spacefill
Spacefill’s team builds the connectors to your 3PLs’ systems and your ERP or storefront, and says you can be live in 2 to 4 weeks. From then on, you manage each 3PL relationship yourself and use Spacefill to route orders, track shipments and handle returns and disputes.
FAQ

Questions planners ask

No. The Flexe WMS runs at every warehouse in the network. Connect by API, EDI or XML, or upload a CSV.
Yes. Flexe adds warehouse capacity next to the DCs and 3PLs you already run, so your core network stays where it is. You connect once to Flexe’s WMS by API, EDI, XML or CSV and see inventory, orders and shipments from every Flexe site.
No. Spacefill’s current site offers software only: an order management system and a portal for 3PLs. It doesn’t list warehouses you can search or book. You bring your own 3PL contracts, and Spacefill connects them. Flexe is a Marketplace of 1,100+ operators and 3,500+ locations, where you choose the space and the operator runs it.
Spacefill says it operates in France and Germany. It doesn’t publish a presence or plans in North America. Flexe covers the USA and Canada, so a shipper looking for warehouse space in North America will find capacity on the Flexe Marketplace, which Spacefill doesn’t offer.
Spacefill moved from marketplace to software over several years. It launched in 2018 as a European warehousing marketplace. By 2023 its CEO described it as “much more software focused,” and in March 2026 it launched an order management system for shippers. Its current site no longer offers warehouse space.
