Acme Distribution Chooses Made4net to Boost E-Commerce and Client Operations

Acme Distribution Boosts Operations with Made4net

Acme Distribution, the largest asset-based third-party logistics provider in Colorado, recently opted for Made4net's Synapse 3PLExpert Warehouse Management System (WMS). This strategic move aims to modernize warehousing processes and cater to the growing demands of e-commerce while managing complex multi-client environments effectively.

Founded in 1947, Acme operates across nine facilities with nearly 3 million square feet of AIB-certified warehousing in Colorado, Washington, and Pennsylvania. The company provides a comprehensive range of logistics services, including warehousing, transportation, and fulfillment for over 300 customers. With e-commerce growth surging, Acme recognized the necessity for a robust system that could support varied customer needs and streamline operations without the setbacks experienced during a previous WMS transition.

Selecting a new system was not a decision taken lightly by Acme's leadership. The company undertook extensive due diligence, which included site visits and reference checks with current Made4net customers. They were particularly impressed by Made4net's established reputation in facilitating successful WMS implementations tailored for 3PLs. Seth Goldfogel, the Owner of Acme Distribution, noted, "After a failed WMS experience, we required proof rather than promises. Made4net's team truly understands the intricacies of our operations, which instilled confidence in our decision."

The Synapse 3PLExpert solution is designed to handle the complexities that come with third-party logistics, especially in the realm of e-commerce, where high-volume operations demand swift and accurate fulfillment. With advanced API capabilities and a dedicated fulfillment module, Acme’s new system is set to improve critical operations, from customer onboarding to integrated billing. The latter feature will automate a revenue process that required significant manual oversight, transferring those resources to more value-added activities.

As the e-commerce landscape continues to evolve, third-party logistics providers like Acme are under pressure to adapt. Legacy systems have often been inadequate for the demands of diverse customer requirements; hence, transitioning to a dedicated platform built for complexity is essential. As highlighted by Errol Gonzales, the Director of Sales at Made4net, "3PLs require more than just a system to manage inventory and orders. They need a flexible platform that can handle the operational complexities inherent in their business."

The implementation of Synapse 3PLExpert is already underway, with early training sessions completed. Acme expects the platform to significantly enhance warehouse throughput and expedite the onboarding of new fulfillment clients. This positions the logistics provider to maintain a competitive edge in the rapidly expanding e-commerce sector.

In summary, Acme Distribution's partnership with Made4net marks a significant step forward in their quest to optimize logistics operations and meet the increasing demands posed by e-commerce. As they move forward with the implementation, watch for Acme to leverage these advancements to drive growth and enhance service quality.
