SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / September 18, 2025 / Instawork, the leading flexible labor marketplace for hourly professionals, and Racklify, the world's largest marketplace for third-party logistics (3PL) providers, have announced a strategic partnership to help warehouses and fulfillment providers scale staffing quickly, efficiently, and on-demand.

This collaboration enables 3PLs using Racklify to tap directly into Instawork's nationwide pool of vetted warehouse associates, pickers, packers, forklift drivers, and more - solving one of the logistics industry's most persistent challenges: staffing for peak seasons, sudden surges, and last-minute absences.

"Instawork has been instrumental inside the four walls of the 3PL I've helped run. When we needed an extra hand - or six - Instawork delivered, time and time again," said Bill Carlin, Co-Founder and CMO of Racklify. "That kind of reliability is exactly why this partnership makes sense. At Racklify, we work with fulfillment providers every day - we hear about these staffing challenges constantly, and we've seen firsthand how impactful the right labor solution can be. This collaboration helps connect our network with flexible, proven support when it matters most."

By integrating Racklify's warehouse discovery platform - which now hosts over 10,000+ 3PLs across 50+ countries - with access to Instawork's 8M vetted workers and staffing technology, warehouses can now:

• Find and book qualified workers in as little as 12 hours

• Reduce dependency on fixed headcount during volatile seasons

• Improve operational agility without compromising on quality

Racklify users can access Instawork's flexible staffing solutions - along with special offers exclusively for the Racklify network by visiting http://racklify.com/instawork/. The partnership also includes select co-marketing initiatives to help raise awareness around labor challenges and solutions in the fulfillment space.

"This partnership is about combining two powerful platforms to solve one of the biggest challenges in logistics: finding reliable labor when and where it's needed most." said Ashwin Somakumar, Vice President of Marketing at Instawork. "Racklify has built the largest global network of fulfillment providers, and we're proud to bring Instawork's flexible staffing solutions directly into that ecosystem. Together, we're giving 3PL providers the ability to scale staffing at the speed of demand - ensuring operations stay resilient during peak seasons, disruptions, and everything in between."

With the 2025 peak season approaching and labor shortages continuing to challenge fulfillment timelines, the partnership aims to deliver what both platforms promise: speed, flexibility, and solutions that are built for what's next.
