Abstract

A temporary warehouse environment includes various platforms for locating, establishing, and operating one or more temporary houses. A temporary warehouse locator identifies potential geographic locations for one or more temporary warehouses based on prior transactions conducted by a merchant and predicted transactions or operating expenditures. The identified geographic locations may then be leveraged by a temporary warehouse marketplace, which connects the merchant with owners and/or operators of available property in the identified geographic locations. A temporary warehouse recruiter further connects the merchant with potential employees for maintain and operating the temporary warehouse and includes various mechanisms by which the merchant may identify potential employees based on their prior employment history. Finally, a temporary warehouse system provides day-to-day operations for the temporary warehouse, including fulfilling orders placed by customers and monitoring the shipments of such orders.
