Pricing and Plans

WareIQ offers customized pricing tailored to the specific needs of each business. They do not have a one-size-fits-all plan but provide two primary pricing models:

• Occupancy-Based Rates: This model charges based on the physical space (e.g., square feet or cubic feet) your inventory occupies in the warehouse. It is ideal for businesses with bulky, large, or irregularly shaped items.
• Per-Unit-Based Rates: This model charges a fee for each unit stored or processed. It is suitable for businesses with high-volume, smaller-sized products and fluctuating inventory levels.
