The next generation of consumer experiences for independent commerce won't be built in simulation. It will be built here. Validated against real orders, proven on the same stack running our network of nearly 100 facilities, 8-billion data points, nearly one in four US households, and 15B+ in GMV. Built in Atlanta, deployed everywhere.
Stord Labs is where the promise we make to over 1,000 brands gets built.
The next generation of commerce infrastructure will be built at the intersection of software intelligence and physical execution. Stord Labs is where that happens.
WHAT IS
A physical intelligence lab at our Atlanta headquarters, Stord Labs runs AI, robotics, and advanced operational designs against real orders on the same WMS and OMS that power our production network.
Because our technology and operations run on a single unified stack, innovations proven here don’t need to be re-integrated or re-tested facility by facility. They deploy everywhere, immediately. That is what makes Stord Labs different from any other innovation program in logistics.
ROBOTICS & AUTOMATION
From autonomous mobile robots to goods-to-person systems to agentic robotics that make real-time decisions based on live AI inference, Stord Labs evaluates which technologies deliver measurable productivity gains in a real multi-client environment.
AI & OPERATIONAL INTELLIGENCE
We build and validate AI-driven tools for demand forecasting, dynamic slotting, predictive replenishment, and pick path optimization. We also build agentic AI systems that recommend and execute actions against live operational data. We optimize based on the real data of your business.
DIGITAL TWIN MODELLING
Operational data from Stord Labs feeds simulation models that stress-test workflows, slotting strategies, and facility designs at enterprise scale. The lab is 10,000 square feet. The models it produces are not.
Every experiment begins with a clearly defined hypothesis, success criteria, and measurement framework. We do not run experiments without knowing what success looks like.
Technologies are tested against real workflows including receiving, picking, packing, shipping, and returns, using both real and synthetic orders processed through Stord's live WMS and OMS. Vendor demos do not tell you how a technology performs in your environment. Real orders do.
Validated innovations deploy across Stord's nearly 100 facilities immediately, with no re-integration and no facility-by-facility rollout, because our technology and operations run on a single unified stack.
Improvements validated at Stord Labs flow into the consumer experience for every brand on Stord’s platform. Faster pick paths. Better demand forecasting. More precise inventory management. Since Stord is a unified stack, those improvements compound across the entire network simultaneously.
Faster pick paths mean faster delivery. Better demand forecasting means fewer stockouts. More precise inventory management means fewer errors at the moment that matters most.
“Physical intelligence is transforming commerce. What separates the companies that lead it from the ones that fall behind is the ability to build and scale real operational intelligence, not buy vendor demos and hope. Stord Labs is where we build ours.”
PRESIDENT & COO, STORD
Stord Labs is not a showcase. It is where the physical intelligence layer for independent commerce is built. Because our technology and operations run as one, what is proven here scales across nearly 100 facilities immediately.
