Snackpass Chooses Stord Software to Scale Operations Amid Immense Growth

snackpass-chooses-stord-software

Snackpass, an all-in-one restaurant operating system focused on streamlining operations through innovative, self-serve technology, has partnered with Stord, the Cloud Supply Chain leader for omnichannel mid-market and enterprise brands. Snackpass will use Stord's OMS to orchestrate and track orders for its suite of hardware products, and Stord's WMS to manage operations within its warehouses.

As Snackpass experienced significant growth, it became evident that outdated processes and technology were insufficient to support its expansion. Recognizing the limitations of its antiquated systems and processes, the Snackpass team sought a solution that could keep pace with its evolving needs.

Snackpass now uses Stord's order management system, Stord One Commerce, to connect, orchestrate, and optimize its entire supply chain. With Stord One Commerce, Snackpass now can manage orders across all sales channels in one place, create consistent kitting work orders, and improve forecasting by tracking high-moving SKUs and average monthly volume.

With the implementation of Stord's OMS, Snackpass now benefits from enhanced visibility into its inventory, both in terms of components and finished products, at each site. This newfound visibility empowers its team to make informed decisions and streamline its inventory management processes, driving efficiency and enabling continued growth.

Snackpass also uses Stord's warehouse management system, Stord One Warehouse, to achieve greater efficiency and productivity in its fulfillment facilities. Using Stord One Warehouse, Snackpass now performs 99% of its daily processes digitally, eliminating the need to track down order summary reports and do physical checks, saving time and boosting productivity in its high volume pick, pack, and ship operations across fulfillment channels.

"We are excited to partner with Stord and take our operations to the next level," said Jamie Marshall, COO and co-founder of Snackpass. "With our rapid implementation, we have already seen immediate improvements in productivity and visibility, with comprehensive inventory and returns tracking capabilities that we'll need as we expand the business. Both Stord's OMS and WMS software have been integral as we build fulfillment operations that support our hypergrowth."

"The partnership between Snackpass and Stord is a great example of two companies coming together to create an optimized supply chain that delivers a best-in-class customer experience," said Sean Henry, CEO and co-founder of Stord. "By leveraging Stord One Commerce's end-to-end visibility and orchestration with Stord One Warehouse's efficient operational and productivity workflows, Snackpass has increased visibility, control, and automation over its entire supply chain. This allows them to move products without missing a beat."

Stord also recently announced new add-ons to Stord One Commerce, including additional capabilities for smarter and more cost-effective order routing, multichannel inventory management, and last-mile optimization. To learn more about Stord's Cloud Supply Chain approach, visit stord.com.

AIT Worldwide Logistics Acquires Global Transport Solutions Group

Business Wire | February 05, 2024

AIT Worldwide Logistics, one of the world’s leaders in global supply chain solutions, has acquired Global Transport Solutions Group (GTS), a prominent international freight forwarder specializing in time-critical marine spare parts logistics. Headquartered in the Netherlands, GTS and its more than 600 teammates across 16 locations in Asia, Europe, the Middle East and North America, serve over 2,000 ports around the world. The GTS network also includes nine consolidation hubs totaling more than 45,000 square meters of warehouse space. AIT Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Vaughn Moore, said, “I’d like to welcome our new GTS teammates to the global AIT network. This is the largest acquisition in our company’s history and GTS’ marine spare parts business is an excellent complement to AIT’s time-critical supply chain solutions.” The company’s business is divided into two sub-brands: Marinetrans (founded in 1991), excelling in “door-to-deck” spare parts logistics for ship owners and managers, and Best Global Logistics (founded in 2007), providing time-critical solutions and general forwarding for other industries, including life sciences shippers. According to AIT’s Chief Business Officer, Greg Weigel, the acquisition provides the company with new geographic presence in Greece, Japan and the Nordic region while adding significant capacity and subject matter expertise to existing AIT networks in China, the Netherlands and Singapore. The deal also provides a strong foundation to expand GTS’ world-class marine spare parts solutions via AIT’s expansive global freight network. “The acquisition of GTS creates an incredible portfolio of solutions serving the maritime industry with delivery of time-critical spare parts across all geographies. This is a perfect complement to AIT’s vertical strategies focused on expedited mission-critical services like our Critical Solutions Group, government and AOG team, and Life Sciences Division,” Weigel said. “We plan to rapidly invest and expand GTS’ North American operations by capitalizing on AIT’s robust salesforce in the United States and offering maritime customers a world-class spare parts logistics solution in every port.” AIT President and Chief Operating Officer, Keith Tholan, noted that the GTS core values – customer first, operational excellence, and partnership and collaboration – closely mirror AIT’s core values. “We are delighted to welcome GTS teammates to AIT,” Tholan said. “Their deep marine logistics expertise and three decades of proven on-time performance in a very demanding segment will complement the diverse solutions we offer across our vertical sector strategy. We also expect our best-in-class global air freight procurement will instantly benefit their time-critical operations.” According to GTS co-CEO John Burgstra, the acquisition is an opportunity for GTS to further expand their worldwide operations. “We aim to provide our clients an unrivaled experience when it comes to global visibility, transparency and on-time performance, fully unburdening them of the required logistical handling of their vessels’ spare parts,” he said. “We are excited about becoming part of a larger group and the global development opportunities this acquisition will provide for our teammates.” “Because of the highly fragmented and international nature of our clients’ requirements, they need a trusted partner with a vetted and effective global network,” added GTS co-CEO Vegard Prytz. “GTS will gain enormous benefits from leveraging the global AIT infrastructure, creating an even more integrated and seamless solution for clients around the world.”
