Branch Basis forecasts 50% growth in 2023 with ODW Logistics

Branch Basics partners with ODW Logistics to provide distribution, fulfillment, and parcel management

Branch Basis forecasts 50% growth in 2023 with ODW Logistics

Branch Basics, a leading producer of natural, nontoxic cleaning products, selected ODW Logistics to manage their distribution, fulfillment, and transportation services. The demand for the company’s products exploded over the last two years, which has resulted in a 2.5X growth since 2021. In response, a logistics partner was needed with the experience, flexibility, and knowledge to help scale their operations.

“We have experienced strong growth since our launch in 2012, however, the pandemic drove exponential growth,” said Karen Lowery, Head of Operations at Branch Basics. “Additionally, we realized a large increase in our subscription sales and knew we needed a partner to help us meet our demand. ODW Logistics was able to provide a holistic supply chain solution that included a diverse e-commerce fulfillment program, cost effective management of our transportation, and the ability to scale with our business.”


Consumer demand for more natural and environmentally friendly products has fueled Branch Basics’ growth and the company has recently introduced a new plant and mineral based dishwasher tablet and a premium glass bottle starter kit. ODW Logistics engineered a distribution and fulfillment solution to support the growth of the company while implementing a leveraged parcel program to deliver cost savings and visibility.

“Branch Basics was focused on a streamlined supply chain solution that would bring visibility and clarity,” said Casey Nofziger, VP of Client Solutions with ODW Logistics. “We are positioned as a partner to meet the demands and aggressive growth projections of the business.”

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.

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.
