Overview
Founded in 2019, Outerspace has rapidly grown into a premier 3PL provider for high-growth brands, expanding to over 1 million square feet of warehouse space across North America. By leveraging Deposco’s cloud-based WMS software platform from Day One, Outerspace has created a technology-forward fulfillment experience that reflects their unique understanding of brand needs.
“We really built Outerspace with empathy and tried to recreate the experience we’ve always wanted for ourselves. A lot of times we’ll describe it as almost like a headquarters for high growth brands,” explains Phil Moldavski, Co-Founder of Outerspace.
Having come from the brand side, Outerspace’s founders had firsthand experience with the limitations of traditional 3PL technology. “In a past life before starting Outerspace, we ran an ecommerce business that we started back in 2013,” Phil recalls. “We had a smaller, ecommerce-only warehouse management system (WMS), so we knew when it was time to open Outerspace and deliver that 3PL experience, we needed something that was be enterprise-level and omnichannel ready.” When launching their own 3PL operation, they needed a 3PL solution that could support rapid scaling while maintaining the high-touch service their brand experience expected by their clients.
What I want out of a WMS as a CEO is to not have to worry about it. I want reliability and predictability. And Deposco has given me that peace of mind where I don’t have to worry about the data being messed up and can make informed decisions every day based on that data.
Solution
“When it came time to look for our cloud-based WMS system, we wanted to look at the full universe of options and find that ‘Goldilocks’ solution for us,” says Phil. “We knew there were some smaller, long-tail, ecommerce-only solutions out there. Of course, we knew of the big, old-school legacy players. We needed to thread the needle and find someone who could bring us that enterprise edge but still build it in a modern way. That’s where Deposco stood out to us.”
Deposco’s 3PL fulfillment software provided comprehensive supply chain execution functionality, including a robust 3PL billing module, advanced socket 3PL integrations, and omnichannel fulfillment capabilities—all built on a modern, cloud-based architecture that enabled rapid deployment and customization.
With Deposco as their 3PL technology foundation, Outerspace has achieved remarkable growth. “In about four years we got up to one million square feet all over the country,” Phil shares. Looking ahead, he adds, “We’re opening up Canada as well, and we’re looking forward to more than doubling our footprint in the coming years.”
