Leading aftermarket distribution and maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services provider, VSE Corporation, yesterday announced its all-new e-commerce fulfillment and distribution center in greater Memphis, Tennessee area. The company serves government and commercial markets with MRO services for air, sea and land transportation assets.
VSE’s new state-of-the-art center is spread over 450,000 sq.ft., double the size the current warehouse for its fleet segment. This new center provides VSE’s Wheeler Fleet Solutions segment with the additional capacity to meet the growing demand for aftermarket products for its commercial and e-commerce fleet customers.
VSE’s new fulfillment center is to support faster, same-day deliveries including order-to-delivery. This allows for additional shipping options, while ensuring the best level of services for the company’s aftermarket parts distribution portfolio. The new center harnesses a warehouse management system (WMS) and automation to increase productivity and capacity while maintaining order and delivery accuracy. The center can stock more than 175,000 SKUs when operating at full capacity.
John Cuomo, President and CEO of VSE Corporation, said, “The addition of our new distribution center is an important strategic milestone for our Wheeler Fleet Solutions subsidiary, one of the leading fleet-focused parts and services companies serving heavy, medium and light duty vehicles in the United States.” He further added, “During the last four years, our commercial fleet sales have grown from approximately 10% to 40% of Fleet Segment revenue, driven by share gains across both commercial fleet and e-commerce fulfillment channels. Looking ahead, we anticipate this distribution center will contribute more than $50 million in new, incremental sales to our Fleet segment in 2023.”
