As a third-party logistics provider with over 80 years of experience in the industry, ¿Û¿Û´«Ã½ ¿Û¿Û´«Ã½ understands that speed and accuracy are crucial. E-commerce brands need their orders picked, packed and shipped to customers within minutes. ¿Û¿Û´«Ã½ meets these demands by offering a wide range of integration options tailored to its client's specific needs. ¿Û¿Û´«Ã½'s Expertise in Simplifying IT Integration for Clients ¿Û¿Û´«Ã½ supports everything from traditional, straightforward system integrations like flat files transferred to an SFTP site to more sophisticated solutions such as Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) over AS2 or a value-added network (VAN). However, the real innovation lies in ¿Û¿Û´«Ã½’s robust stack of REST APIs. These APIs allow clients to programmatically interface with various systems within ¿Û¿Û´«Ã½, including the Warehouse Management System (WMS) layer, providing a future-ready technology solution. For tech-savvy clients, this means the possibility of integrating with ¿Û¿Û´«Ã½’s systems even before operations go live, ensuring a smooth transition and continuous operation. Additionally, ¿Û¿Û´«Ã½ offers quick and effective plug-in solutions for popular platforms like Shopify, WooCommerce, and QuickBooks Online through its partnership with Pipe17. This enables rapid integration, making connecting with ¿Û¿Û´«Ã½'s systems easier for clients using these platforms. For brands using NetSuite, ¿Û¿Û´«Ã½'s long-standing Oracle SDN partner expertise provides a best-in-class interface. Whether a client uses TrueCommerce, SPS Commerce, or another EDI provider, ¿Û¿Û´«Ã½ can integrate seamlessly, making NetSuite the central hub of operations. This flexibility extends to environments with pre-existing customizations, allowing clients to benefit from ¿Û¿Û´«Ã½’s solutions without disrupting their current setups. How ¿Û¿Û´«Ã½ Prioritizes Security and Integrity in a Digital Landscape As the digital landscape becomes increasingly complex, the security and integrity of client data have never been more critical. ¿Û¿Û´«Ã½ ¿Û¿Û´«Ã½takes this responsibility seriously by adhering to the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, which guides its technology choices and security posture. ¿Û¿Û´«Ã½ has established long-term partnerships with industry-leading cybersecurity providers including Okta, CrowdStrike, Arctic Wolf, and GuidePoint Security. These relationships ensure that ¿Û¿Û´«Ã½ remains at the forefront of IT security, leveraging the best technology to protect client data from a rapidly evolving threat landscape. Investment in IT security is a top priority at ¿Û¿Û´«Ã½. Unlike some organizations that operate under the principle of "no budget" for IT security, ¿Û¿Û´«Ã½ carefully allocates significant resources to this area. This strategic investment ensures ¿Û¿Û´«Ã½ can provide a secure environment for client operations and data, safeguarding against potential data loss and other cyber threats. How ¿Û¿Û´«Ã½ Stands Out in IT in the 3PL Industry ¿Û¿Û´«Ã½ Distribution's approach to IT infrastructure combines innovation, flexibility, and robust security. For many years, ¿Û¿Û´«Ã½ has been a cloud and SaaS-first company, giving it a significant advantage over its peers. ¿Û¿Û´«Ã½ can deliver tailored innovations quickly and efficiently by maintaining deep partnerships with commercial software providers while developing in-house capabilities. This unique approach allows ¿Û¿Û´«Ã½ to react swiftly to client needs, whether implementing a small yet impactful change or responding to an urgent business opportunity. In contrast to competitors relying solely on off-the-shelf packages, ¿Û¿Û´«Ã½’s ability to innovate internally ensures that it can provide the right solution at the right time, keeping client operations running smoothly and securely.
