ABOUT OLIMP: OUR STORY AND TECHNOLOGY BEHIND SMARTER WAREHOUSING
How OLIMP Warehousing was Founded
OLIMP warehousing was founded in Chicago with a clear vision: to eliminate inefficiencies in finding on-demand warehousing.
Before OLIMP, freight brokers, carriers, and shippers were dealing with a fragmented system. Finding warehouse space often meant endless phone calls, manual coordination, and costly delays when freight was rejected or needed immediate storage.
In 2018, our founder, Vlad Gasnikov, began developing a solution – a platform designed to connect carriers, brokers, and warehouses in real time. The idea was simple but powerful: create a centralized network where available warehouse space could be easily accessed and booked.
By 2019, OLIMP Warehousing was officially established, building on early beta testing of our on-demand warehousing platform. What started as a way to reduce downtime for drivers quickly evolved into a scalable logistics solution.
Our mission from the beginning has been to:
- •reduce delays in freight movement
- •bring speed, transparency, and flexibility to logistics
- •improve warehouse utilization
From day one, we set out to build more than a service, we built a technology-driven platform designed to modernize the supply chain.
The Launch of On-Demand Warehousing
As logistics challenges grew, OLIMP introduced On-Demand Warehousing – a faster, more flexible platform was built as a digital network where business can request and book warehouse services in real time.
Through our platform, businesses can find vetted warehouses across North America for:
- Cross-docking
- Storage – Long and Short Term
- Transloading
- Pallet Reworks
- Disposal
- Final Mile Delivery
Instead of letting freight sit idle, we designed a system that keeps it moving. Shipments can be split across routes and transferred between warehouses, helping drivers reduce downtime and operate more efficiently.
What started as a small network during early testing has grown into a scalable platform, helping businesses move faster and adapt to modern supply chain demands.
OLIMP API Integration: Linking Logistics Systems
As our platform evolved, we introduced OLIMP Link, our API integration that connects transportation management systems directly with our warehouse network.
With OLIMP Link, businesses can instantly request quotes, automate storage and rework requests, and sync data in real time – all within their existing workflows. With over 5,000 vetted warehouses across the US, Canada, and Mexico, we enable seamless booking, centralized visibility, and faster decision-making.
OLIMP Link marks our evolution into a fully connected logistics infrastructure, built for speed, automation, and scale.
The OLIMP Warehouse App: Logistics on the Go
To make logistics even more accessible, we launched the OLIMP Warehouse App, bringing real-time warehousing solutions directly to users’ devices.
With the app, warehouses can quote on warehousing opportunities, track the freight as it arrives and leaves their warehouse, uploading necessary documents and more!
The OLIMP Warehousing app reflects our continued growth and progression – from our beginning to building our network of warehouse partners, and our commitment to providing smarter, faster, more accessible warehousing solutions.
