    Arctic Logistics, a third-party public refrigerated warehouse located in Canton, Michigan, recently upgraded its operations by implementing Made4net’s Synapse 3PLExpert warehouse management systems (WMS).

    The modern third-party logistics WMS solution is helping the company meet the increasing demands of its diverse client base, which includes Fortune 500 and Fortune 100 companies, Made4net reported.

    Arctic Logistics specializes in providing value-added services such as USDA import/export processing, blast freezing, case picking, and re-labeling. These services are crucial for the company’s customers, who rely on Arctic Logistics for efficient and accurate handling of their perishable products.

    The need for a reliable and advanced WMS became evident as their legacy system could no longer keep pace with their growing needs.

    During their search for a new WMS, Arctic Logistics focused on three key functionalities:

    • RF scanning integration
    • Manage EDI exchange with customers
    • Automated warehouse and inventory management processes

    “Our previous warehouse management system was outdated and couldn’t meet the evolving demands of our customers,” John Connor, Arctic Logistics president, said in a news release. “With Made4net, we’ve seen a remarkable improvement in our operations. The accuracy, efficiency, and overall customer experience have been enhanced beyond our expectations. It’s one of the best decisions we’ve made as a company.”

    Since going live with the solution, Arctic Logistics has reported improvements in inventory management, order processing, and overall operational efficiency. The system’s user-friendly interface has reduced the need for manual paperwork, allowing the company to focus on delivering high-quality services to its customers.

    The Synapse 3PLExpert WMS is recognized for its 3PL expertise, robust billing capabilities, adaptability, and ability to provide real-time visibility into warehouse operations, Made4net added. “We are thrilled to see Arctic Logistics achieving such outstanding results with Synapse,” said Amit Levy, Made4net EVP of sales and strategy. “Their commitment to providing exceptional service to their customers aligns perfectly with the capabilities of our WMS. We look forward to continuing our partnership as they grow.”
