As omni-channel fulfillment continues to emerge as a top
priority for brands today, they still face significant challenges
in meeting the evolving demands of the market, driven primarily by
the complexities that emerge from supporting omni-channel logistics
across multiple sales channels.
In an effort to help retailers overcome these challenges and
carve out a competitive advantage, ShipCalm, an e-Commerce
operations platform and third-party logistics provider, has
announced a strategic acquisition. By acquiring River Source
Logistics (RSL), ShipCalm is positioned to provide a more
comprehensive and cost-effective approach to logistics services to
its customers.
“The integration of RSL into the ShipCalm family signifies a
commitment to expanding our capabilities, enhancing operational
efficiencies, and delivering exceptional value to our clients,”
said Greg Moser, ShipCalm CEO. “Together, we are poised to redefine
the logistics landscape and set new standards of excellence. This
strategic move aligns with our vision to be a leader in the
industry, providing unparalleled services and driving continuous
growth.”
As part of the acquisition, ShipCalm, which will more than
double its customer base, will be phasing out its San Diego
warehouse and moving operations to Los Angeles. The new larger
warehouse provides three times the capacity as the current facility
and will result in more seamless fulfillment and shipping for
ShipCalm’s customers, cost reductions, and the ability to
scale.
“This will make life easier for all of our customers, enabling
them to grow and expand, particularly their West Coast operations,”
Moser said. “We will now have substantial warehouse and fulfillment
centers located centrally -- in Indiana and Los Angeles -- which
poses a very attractive proposition for overseas customers. All
four corners of the U.S. are now easily accessible in terms of
shipping requirements.”
This strategic move allows ShipCalm to significantly enhance its
third-party logistics offerings:
Enhanced Capacity and Efficiency:
- Reduced Shipping Costs: RSL's strategic location secures
cheaper rates from the port, lowering customers' long-term
logistics costs for both parcel and freight.
- Increased Scale: With more capacity, ShipCalm can now
provide customers ample space to grow their business in
California.
- Unchanged Systems: Customers' current digital systems
and workflows remain intact, eliminating the need to adapt to new
processes.
“We are thrilled to join forces with ShipCalm and eager to
expand our service offerings and supercharge our capabilities
through this partnership,” said Jonathan Montgomery, Partner &
COO, River Source Logistics. “This acquisition marks an incredible
milestone for the River Source Logistics team. It promises not only
to elevate our products and services for our clients but also to
unlock fantastic growth and development opportunities for our team.
We are confident that together, we will achieve remarkable success
and continue to deliver the exemplary service our clients are
accustomed to.”
