KSP Fulfillment Partners with Softeon for Advanced Warehouse Management Solution

The Decision to Select Softeon was Easy, CEO Says, as KSP Plans to Expand Operations & Automation

RESTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--KSP Fulfillment (KSP), a rapidly growing third-party logistics (3PL) company offering order fulfillment and value-added services to B2B and B2C customers, is investing in state-of-the-art technologies with a Cloud-based warehouse management system (WMS) from Softeon.

KSP, founded in 2012 and headquartered near Minneapolis, Minn., has realized rapid growth across its broad mix of 3PL services, with revenues jumping 296% in 2020. This growth has driven the need for additional space, with KSP set to complete construction on a new 182,000 square foot facility in November 2021.


“KSP’s growth was putting pressure on its existing fulfillment systems,” said Dennis Nicholson, Vice President of Business Development at Softeon. “The company determined it needed a new WMS with the ability to scale, more advanced features, and a better platform for continuous improvement. KSP selected Softeon as its WMS provider to help power execution of their aggressive strategy, making their decision to move to Softeon in less than two months,” added Nicholson.

“It was obvious in the early stages of our WMS vetting process that Softeon was going to be the right fit for our short and long-term business goals,” said KSP’s Chief Executive Officer, Rob Walters. “It was incredibly important that we chose the right strategic partners to ultimately support our customers’ needs. Softeon offers a unique combination of rich WMS functionality, robust support for 3PL’s, and a collaborative partnership that matches well with our culture,” Walters said.

To further its capabilities, KSP plans to add carton sortation capabilities to its fulfillment center this year and autonomous mobile robots mid-2022. KSP also plans to expand its market coverage with new facilities on the East and West coasts within the next one to two years.

Australian supermarket chain rolls out AI-powered grocery carts

Grocery shoppers in Australia will soon be able to zip in and out of the store in record time, bypassing the lines for cashiers or self-checkout kiosks altogether. They can just walk in, make their selections, and walk out with their bags in hand.

The secret to this express shopping experience is the “Caper Cart,” an AI (artificial intelligence)-powered smart trolley from San Francisco-based Instacart. In its first deployment in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, the system is being tested by Coles Supermarkets, a food and beverage retailer with more than 1,800 grocery and liquor stores throughout the country.

And that’s exactly what Salt Lake City-based Packsize did when it made its initial foray into sustainable packaging back in 2002. That year, the company launched its first product, an innovative on-demand packaging system designed to reduce cardboard waste (and the need for filler material) by creating a right-sized box for each shipment.

Now the company is ready for the next step: greening up the glue.
