Every warehouse provider on WareMatch undergoes a two-step vetting process. First, providers must pay to list on WareMatch, creating an initial quality filter.

No provider goes live until these checks are completed.

Each listing is yours to control and update, and functions as a permanent, structured representation of what you actually offer.
Yes. You can embed your individual listing, your full portfolio of locations, and/or the WareMatch RFQ form directly into your existing website. It renders under your brand, with no WareMatch branding visible to the end user. For 3PLs without a strong web presence, this is a fast way to add a professional, functional inquiry flow without building anything from scratch.
Listing: A single service location with its full capability profile. Portfolio: All of your active WareMatch listings in one view, useful if you operate multiple facilities. RFQ form: A standalone inquiry form that captures structured shipper requests without displaying listing details — useful for general contact pages or campaign landing pages.
Inquiries come in as structured requests, meaning the shipper has already provided details on their requirements before the conversation starts. You're not fielding generic contact form messages — you're receiving scoped project briefs that map to what you've listed as your capabilities.
If a project falls outside your capacity, geography, or service offering, you can tap into WareMatch's broader 3PL network to refer or redirect the project. You're not leaving the lead on the table — you have a network to work with.
It depends on where the RFQ is submitted. Shippers browsing WareMatch.com directly will need an account. However, if a shipper submits an RFQ through your white-labeled listing link or your embedded form, no account is required.
Yes. The white-label tools are additive to an existing process. Shareable listing links can replace or supplement the one-pagers and capability decks you're already sending. The structured RFQ flow reduces back-and-forth in early-stage conversations. And the embed options let you upgrade your existing website without a development project.
There are two components. The software license is $150/month, which gives you access to the full white-label suite, including branded listings, embeddable tools, and shareable RFQ links. Each listing you create is an additional $75/month. There are no limits on the number of listings you can run. For enterprise pricing, contact us directly.
