“Flexxtra is something we’ve been working with Visku on for quite some time and we’re certain it’ll bring something new – and much-needed – to the logistics property market. We hope to be the incubator space for UK companies’ next big success story.”
The Flexxtra service will be fulfilled at Prologis Park in Wellingborough West in Northampshire in a new building which can accommodate 70,000 pallets and is expected to be able to support between 10 and 30 customers at a time..
Prologis UK has appointed Kinaxia Logistics, working alongside Visku and their Pallet Hotel platform to manage inbound receipts, insurance and outbound fulfilment.
Visku will oversee the day-to-day customer management.
