Atlanta, GA, December 20, 2022 After researching candidates across the industry, Multichannel Merchant identified top companies, both generalists and specialists, offering a range of valuable services and deep expertise.  3PL providers have reported increased interest and adoption from retailers of all kinds, many of whom are quickly realizing that their internal resources are not up to the task of handling order fulfillment and logistics at scale.

Stord adds last-mile delivery optimization with Stord Parcel

Atlanta, GA, November 16, 2022 Too many brands spend significant time and resources managing multiple carrier relationships and implementing rules-based engines to rate shop and adhere to carrier delivery estimates. Still, the result is not optimal—brands leave money on the table when last-mile shipping is based on carrier delivery guidelines and simple rate shopping instead of real-time data.   But with Stord, DTC and omnichannel brands can access deeply discounted negotiated carrier rates from a network of international, national, and regional carriers all through one agnostic partner, and benefit from advanced modeling and optimization that automatically identifies the right carrier service level for each order based on billions of historical data points. This way, brands can stop spending on a higher service level than is actually needed while still meeting customer expectations for fast delivery.  With  For example, by evaluating every package’s unique characteristics in real-time along with analyzing actual delivery performance,  “Today, most brands set up simple rules for service level selection based on standard carrier guidelines, which means they often opt for a more expensive service level to ensure on-time delivery,” said Sean Henry, CEO and co-founder of Stord. “With  Stord Parcel  This year, Stord has significantly expanded its physical offerings, including additional  Services or features referenced are provided for example only and specific results are not guaranteed.

Among the announcements of  I had the pleasure of sitting down with Yana Remensnyder, Talent Acquisition Manager at Stord, to discuss the continued momentum the team has been experiencing surrounding new talent and employee satisfaction, along with the awards and recognition the company has received. -- Colleen Murphy, Marketing Coordinator C: Stord has made its way to multiple lists of top workplaces and continues to receive stellar reviews from employees – Can you tell me about the recent acknowledgements and awards Stord has received this year? Y: Absolutely! This year we have been recognized as a top workplace by InHerSight, which is a company ratings platform designed for women that helps match people with jobs that would be a good fit and allows employees to rate their company on a variety of factors, similar to Glassdoor. Stord has been rated the #1 Best Logistics and Supply Chain Companies for 10 months in a row! We have also been ranked a top workplace in a variety of other categories, including:  In addition to being honored as a top workplace by InHerSight, I am extremely proud of employee ratings both on InHerSight and on Glassdoor:  InHerSight:  Glassdoor:  C: It’s great to see the Stord team and culture getting recognized. What do you think has led to such a strong culture at Stord? Y: I think so much of it is attributed to investing in our employees since Day 1 and continuing to make that a priority as we grow and scale. Our leadership plays a huge role in this, as well. We want Stord to be known not only as a company that is disrupting the supply chain industry by pioneering Cloud Supply Chain, but one that is known for its positive employee experience.  
Stord has been investing in top-tier talent and has grown to over 700 employees, up from just under 500 employees this time last year.

Throughout her time at Stord over the past year, the culture at Stord has grown and shifted along with new employees, new teams, and new employee resource groups; and the benefits of working at Stord that enhance work-life balance have continued to improve as well. Feulner’s leadership combined with Stord’s hypergrowth has encouraged development throughout the entire People Operations team at Stord. Nick Uranga joined the Stord team as Head of Talent Acquisition, Antoinette Peters serves as Head of Total Awards, Paola Jacobs is Head of Business Partners and has recently added another team within her organization. Lacey Ellison, previously Office Operations Manager and Administrative Manager at Stord is heading up a new team as Employee Experience Manager, focusing on the employee experience for employees in the office, working remotely, and working in Stord’s first-party fulfillment centers.

The entire Talent Acquisition team has been hyper focused on impacting the candidate experience positively by:   Ultimately, we want to set candidates up for success. A positive experience and overall satisfaction continues to be a priority for the Stord team, so it’s fantastic to see Stord being recognized for these accomplishments. C: I love that! You’re so right that the culture of a company is showcased straight from the beginning. Also, how special to have a team specifically dedicated to employee experience. I think that speaks volumes about Stord’s dedication to its team members. You mentioned employee resource groups – can you tell us a bit more about what those look like at Stord? Y: Our employee resource groups here at Stord are constantly impressing me. Our two most active employee resource groups are Stord Serves and Women of Stord. Stord Serves focuses on making a difference in the community and participating in causes that resonate with our employees.  Some of the initiatives Stord Serves has been involved in include:  Women of Stord has primarily been focused on encouraging networking, diversity, and inclusion in the male-dominated supply chain industry. The group has recently hosted a few wonderful events that have been open to all employees, regardless of gender or role in the company, to foster open dialogue about topics such as mental health and women leadership. Two key events that were hosted so far this year are:  The group also hosts virtual coffee hours for women of the organization to connect and network together. Recently, Amy Cooper, Health & Beauty Category Leader at Stord, spoke to the group about her journey as a wife/mother/daughter and former CEO of Fulfillment Works. She shared her story, along with some lessons she’s learned about prioritizing herself while balancing raising two girls on top of running a company. A mentorship program is on the horizon as well, which is exciting! C: Thanks so much for sharing, Yana, this has been great. I cannot wait to see how Stord continues to develop in the future! Y: Thank you! We know this is just the beginning, or as we like to say at Stord, it’s only Day 1. I was hired as employee #23 back in April of 2019 and was the first People Operations hire when we were just a tiny company of less than 25 people. The magnitude of our growth and our acceleration is absolutely insane and has been so motivating. I know there is so much more to come, and we are so excited to bring even more people on to this amazing team as we continue to grow.

ATLANTA, Aug. 18 — Stord, the Cloud Supply Chain leader, today announces the appointment of its first President and Chief Commercial Officer Tom Barone. This news comes amid great momentum for Stord: the company has continued to enhance its suite of logistics services and technology offerings, including announcing a vendor- and sales channel-agnostic software platform,  “Stord has been in a period of immense hypergrowth as brands require more agile, connected, and rapid fulfillment to increase customer satisfaction and their bottom line,” said Sean Henry, CEO and co-founder of Stord. “A relentless focus on creating value for customers is foundational to Stord. With Tom’s appointment, we look forward to aligning all of our go-to-market and external-facing functions, throughout the entire customer lifecycle, under a proven leader with vast experience across both technology and logistics and a deep understanding of today’s omnichannel brands.”  Tom brings a wealth of experience to Stord, with more than 20 years in the e-commerce industry focused on technology and supply chain—including senior executive roles at CommerceHub, Radial (fka eBay Enterprise and GSI Commerce), and more. As CRO at CommerceHub, for example, he was instrumental in scaling the company through its investment by Insight Partners at a $1.9 billion valuation. As Vice President of the North American Operations business for eBay Enterprise, he was responsible for a $700M fulfillment, transportation, customer care, and omnichannel software business, leading significant growth and increases in client satisfaction.

Tom holds an MBA from Northwestern University, Kellogg School of Management and a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Cornell University.  “Stord’s vision of a Cloud Supply Chain solution is a true paradigm shift for the industry, enabling a fully-integrated, infinitely-elastic, and consistently-optimized supply chain delivered as a scalable utility, in place of the currently inflexible, disconnected, and expensive pieces currently plaguing brands,” shared Tom Barone, CCO of Stord. “I’m excited to join Stord in bringing this vision to life and making a difference for any brand requiring logistics services and technology.”  This appointment also marks a trend of retail, technology, and supply chain experts joining Stord to execute on its mission of making supply chain a competitive advantage for all brands.

With the addition of drayage, e-commerce returns, and more, Stord can now help brands manage their entire supply chain process—from port to porch—through a single partner that combines best-in-class logistics capabilities with the integrated technology needed to optimize brands’ supply chains. ATLANTA, Aug. 11 —  With recent additions to its supply chain offering—namely drayage, e-commerce returns, custom packaging, and temperature-controlled fulfillment—Stord announces it can support DTC, B2B, and omnichannel brands for their complete, port-to-porch supply chain needs. Now, brands can access Stord’s best-in-class logistics combined with the integrated technology they need to connect, orchestrate, and optimize their entire supply chains—all through a single partner. Today’s brands continue to struggle with the challenges posed by disparate logistics partners and disconnected technologies—slowing growth, hindering the customer experience, and creating massive operational burden and inefficiencies. By centralizing the entire supply chain experience, brands are able to unlock the connectivity, visibility, and optimization required to have a meaningful impact on their business. DTC, B2B, and omnichannel brands can use Stord to assemble the right solution for their business needs by accessing any or all of the following services—all managed through Stord’s new vendor- and sales-channel agnostic   *New additions to Stord’s logistics offerings.  Stord's drayage and transloading capabilities allow brands to have their containerized product moved from a U.S. port to any facilities—whether it’s in the Stord network or not—with real-time freight management and support from dispatch to delivery. Stord also added custom packaging and printed products, as well as packaging engineering and development capabilities, to its fulfillment operations to improve the customer experience for brands, drive sustainability, and reduce total landed cost. And to support an order's complete lifecycle, Stord now supports e-commerce returns handling to manage receiving and disposition processing of returns at the warehouse, ensuring product is either returned to sellable inventory or properly disposed. “When today’s brands try to make impactful changes to their supply chains, they’re severely limited due to too many partners and siloed systems,” said Sean Henry, CEO and co-founder of Stord. “By bringing more parts of the supply chain under the Stord domain, brands can manage the entire process, from port to porch, all through a single partner.” Today’s announcement underscores Stord’s continued momentum and comes on the heels of launching its

ATLANTA, July 21 Most brands still struggle to piece together disparate logistics solutions and disconnected technology across providers, resulting in siloed data, costly software implementations, and complex integrations.  Specifically, B2B, B2C, and omnichannel brands now benefit from deep order management and orchestration, inventory management and planning, business intelligence and analytics, and system connectivity capabilities, all in one system, The Stord software acts as the digital glue that connects all elements of a brand’s supply chain and also acts as a control tower, giving brands a consolidated view of their operations, no matter where they sell, how they run their logistics, or which systems they leverage today.  “Better logistics alone will not solve today’s supply chain woes.” said Sean Henry, CEO and co-founder of Stord. “Physical logistics capabilities across transportation, warehousing, and fulfillment have been around since the dawn of retail. You won’t find a single brand that doesn’t have some way of handling these pieces today, but nonetheless, supply chain remains a massive challenge for most brands and consumers. Since starting Stord, we’ve talked to thousands of brands, and while each is unique, the common pain points that inevitably come up are around disconnected systems, access to actionable data insights, and the inability to efficiently orchestrate and optimize supply chain operations. That’s why we built  Stord One Commerce  “We started building this technology a few years back to support our own massively-complex, intricate supply chain network of both partner and first-party facilities enabling B2B, B2C, and omnichannel port-to-porch fulfillment,” shared Jacob Boudreau, CTO and co-founder of Stord. “After battle testing our platform with customers like BODYARMOR, Advance Auto Parts, Thrasio, and Dollar General, we decided to make it available for all brands, regardless of whether they partner with us for logistics.”  “Prior to using Stord, I always felt like we were operating in the dark—with no single source of truth as to what’s going on with our supply chain,” said Gary Boisvert, President of Sturbridge Yankee Workshop. “ Today’s announcement underscores Stord’s continued momentum and comes on the heels of increasing its

Stord’s Cloud Supply Chain to use Fresh Del Monte’s proven cold storage infrastructure as an expanded offering to brands requiring temperature or humidity-controlled logistics ATLANTA, July 26, 2022  With this collaboration, Stord furthers its mission of making supply chains a competitive advantage for all brands, bringing Stord’s same Cloud Supply Chain innovation for ambient goods to the cold fulfillment space. Demand for cold storage is increasing rapidly as grocery sales via e-commerce channels continue to rise. As of last Fall, refrigerated and frozen foods accounted for  While most brands still struggle to piece together disparate logistics solutions and disconnected technology, with Cloud Supply Chain, Stord offers all the physical logistics and digital technology that brands need in a scalable utility-based model. Now, brands selling frozen, refrigerated, and chilled products achieve the same best-in-class operations that hundreds of Stord customers—like BODYARMOR, Thrasio, Dollar General, Native, and Advance Auto Parts—currently enjoy.  Fresh Del Monte has been looking for additional ways to grow its distribution network and leverage underutilized assets, including shipping vessels, transportation vehicles, warehouses, and now its cold storage infrastructure. Through the relationship, Fresh Del Monte will provide Stord customers access to its large-scale, complex supply chain infrastructure, and cold storage facilities. While Fresh Del Monte is known for providing fresh produce, it has other business lines that are powerhouses on their own, particularly its logistics network. The company owns Network Shipping, a third-party shipping network that transports goods across the world; and Tricont Trucking and Tricont Logistics, which utilize the company’s ships, ports, and temperature-controlled warehouses strategically located throughout 34 facilities in North America.

Additional 780K+ sq ft. of warehouse and fulfillment space relieves pressure on brands as Stord executes on its mission to make supply chain a competitive advantage ATLANTA, June 23 The expansion includes 780,000 square feet of new warehouse space in regions where availability is scarce: Las Vegas, Nevada; Reno, Nevada; and New Haven, Connecticut—three of six nodes in Stord’s first-party fulfillment network. Combined with more than 1,000 integrated partner facilities across the U.S. Stord's network reaches over 99% of consumers in two days or less via cost-effective ground shipping, made possible by strategic positioning and intelligent routing.  Despite ever-rising consumer expectations and increasingly complex supply chains, brands have yet to solve the challenges posed by disparate logistics partners and disconnected technologies—slowing growth, hindering customer experience, and creating massive operational burdens. Increasing capacity is a strategic step in enabling fully-integrated, infinitely-elastic, and consistently-optimized supply chains for every brand, via Cloud Supply Chain.  “Our vision is to make best-in-class logistics a plug-and-play, scalable utility for brands. We’re leading a paradigm shift from disparate and disconnected supply chain operations to Cloud Supply Chain, much like how cloud computing disrupted the slow and cumbersome build-it-yourself enterprise IT strategy,” said co-founder and CEO of Stord, Sean Henry. “For this vision to be possible, Stord must be ahead of the curve with capacity and able to meet customer needs, even when capacity is sparse. These strategic investments ensure that we remain ahead and capable of fulfilling our vision of Cloud Supply Chain.” The new warehouses are currently open, fully functional, and already serving customers. This positions Stord and its customers for success in advance of the 2022 peak holiday season. Stord is  Today’s announcement underscores Stord’s continued momentum and comes just one month after the company extended its Series D round to over $200M in funding at a valuation of $1.3B with a new investment led by Franklin Templeton.

New SuiteApp for cloud supply chain meets Oracle NetSuite SuiteCloud Platform development standards and best practices ATLANTA – June 9, 2022 “Most companies today manage supply chains with a network of warehousing and fulfillment partners. This is complex, operationally costly, and can lead to inaccurate and untimely data,” said Sean Henry, CEO and co-founder, Stord. “Now, NetSuite customers can use Stord’s cloud-based platform to intelligently orchestrate logistics through a single integration across all supply chain partners.” With the Stord Cloud Supply Chain SuiteApp, NetSuite customers can automate the transmission of purchase order, sales order, and transfer order data across different supply chain partners. Additionally, they can help ensure inventory accuracy in NetSuite by syncing shipment, receipt, and inventory data from 3PL partners in real time. With reporting and dashboards designed for logistics activities, companies can scale warehouse and fulfillment capacity up and down as necessary. “As supply chains continue to experience challenges, companies need a simpler way to connect to all of their supply chain systems,” said Guido Haarmans, VP, SuiteCloud Developer Network and Partner Programs, Oracle NetSuite. “This new SuiteApp extends our robust solution for cloud supply chain.

ATLANTA and LAS VEGAS, NV, Oct. 20, 2021  "We are laser-focused on making the supply chain a competitive advantage for every one of our customers by combining end-to-end logistics with integrated technology and cloud-like speed and flexibility," said Sean Henry, CEO and co-founder of Stord. "Our Las Vegas facility will add much-needed warehouse capacity heading into what is widely expected to be the biggest e-commerce season ever. We are building out a hybrid logistics network to help brands of all sizes operate their supply chains with world-class efficiency." The new Las Vegas warehouse continues recent company momentum, and in the last two months Stord has:  Las Vegas will be Stord's fourth first-party facility, complemented by a partner network of more than 500 warehouses to serve specialized customer needs such as one-day or same-day shipping in niche markets.

 ATLANTA, September 15, 2021 Along with the funding, Stord also announced the closing of its acquisition of  These announcements come as Stord reports record growth. In the last year, the company has:  “The supply chain is the new competitive battleground,” said Sean Henry, Stord CEO and co-founder. “Today’s buying expectations set by Amazon and the rise of the omnichannel shopper have placed immense pressure on companies to maintain more nimble and efficient supply chains. This new funding and the outstanding Fulfillment Works team bring us that much closer to our goal of being the last logistics partner businesses will ever need. We want every company to have world-class, Prime-like supply chains.” With Fulfillment Works, Stord can provide even more specialized, first-party capacity, which, when combined with its network of hundreds of warehouse partners, offers businesses the most powerful supply chain network on the market. Fulfillment Works’ customers will now have access to Stord’s supply chain software and end-to-end logistics, and Stord will now use Fulfillment Works’ facilities to provide additional control and deeper customer service in key regions. These new warehouses will not only improve the supply chain experience for Stord’s customers, but Stord will share best practices across its entire partner network. Fulfillment Works’ whole team will join Stord. “Our goal from day one was to help companies delight their customers through amazing fulfillment service,” said Amy Cooper, CEO and co-founder of Fulfillment Works. “Now, with Stord, we can realize that vision. Stord has built the only end-to-end logistics network that combines the physical infrastructure with software. Together, we will bring new levels of speed, efficiency and flexibility to brands everywhere, just in time for the busy holiday period.” Today’s supply chain infrastructure and software tools haven’t evolved to meet the customer expectations of DTC commerce brands set by Amazon Prime, or the complex, fast-changing needs of B2B businesses. Resource and capacity constraints require companies to use a patchwork of disconnected 3PLs, creating an inflexible, expensive and opaque logistics network that slows innovation and time to market. The result is slower shipments, higher prices and unhappy customers. The pandemic exacerbated this problem, as e-commerce boomed, further straining supply chains. Global e-commerce is set to surpass  “Trillions of dollars will move online in the next few years, and supply chains need to catch up to this transition,”said Ilya Fushman, Stord board director and partner at Kleiner Perkins, who also led Stord’s Series A. “Stord is democratizing logistics for growing businesses at a time when retailers across the economy are massively increasing their investment in their supply chain. Stord will become for the supply chain what Amazon Web Services is for cloud computing—an intelligent, reliable, and scalable utility that lets companies focus on growing their business without having to worry about their logistics ever again.” To learn more about Stord’s Cloud Supply Chain, visit

ATLANTA, July 29, 2021 More Granularity: Differentiate order types within the platform  Purchase orders, sales orders and transfer orders can now be viewed separately in the “Orders” tab. Sort these orders by supplier, customer or channel to improve your ability to drill down into the operations and success of each party involved in your supply chain.    Improved Efficiency: Automate inventory backorders  Keep your business moving and your customers satisfied despite a warehouse stock-out with automated backorders. If a facility doesn’t have enough inventory to support an incoming sales order, the STORD platform will automatically create and process a backorder. In the meantime, the order will be partially fulfilled and shipped with the available inventory. Any risk of delayed delivery to the end customer is minimized.    Greater Optimization: Rank facilities to optimize fulfillment If you’re storing inventory in multiple locations, the STORD platform will automatically determine from which facility an order will be fulfilled based on rules you configure. Rank facilities based on SKU, final destination or sales channel to optimize the fastest and most effective delivery for your customer. 
 Most supply chain networks today are a patchwork of multiple logistics partners and softwares  that limit visibility and constrain operations.

Furthering the Vision of the Cloud Supply Chain with Key Updates to the STORD Platform

Furthering the Vision of the Cloud Supply Chain with Key Updates to the STORD Platform 

ATLANTA, March 31, 2021 Retailers and e-commerce brands of today are in a race to deliver products to customers faster than ever. While retail behemoths have spent decades building their logistics network and technology in-house, the average retail or ecommerce brand is stuck trying to compete with a prime-like experience by piecing together a mix of expensive fulfillment centers, complex third party logistics providers, and clunky enterprise software.  At Stord, our mission is to empower retailers and e-commerce brands to build fast, scalable, technology-driven supply chains at a fraction of the cost, and in even less time than it would take for them to build themselves. We do this by combining our best-in-class logistics network and software into one configurable platform—we call this the Cloud Supply Chain.  Whereas building a traditional supply chain requires investing substantial time and money in physical infrastructure, complex legacy software, and human expertise, our cloud-supply chain is built to fundamentally abstract these complexities. Stord provides brands a cloud-based platform that offers complex logistics services of a quality typically only available for the largest brands, and with utility-like pay-as-you-go pricing that a brand can leverage from startup to enterprise-level scale.  Stord’s logistics network combines more than 500 warehouses and 20,000 carriers to position inventory within 100 miles of more than 95% of the population—processing millions of fulfillment orders and tens-of-thousands of truckload shipments annually. This network serves leading retailers and fast growing e-commerce brands such as Dollar General, Tyson Foods, Advance Auto Parts, Schneider Electric, Veritiv, and more.  While our mission at Stord has been consistent from day one, over the last 12 months the need for our solution in the market could not be more acute. With brands facing continuous supply chain disruptions, and consumers shifting buying behaviors online throughout COVID, logistics has been prioritized for brands of all sizes. Over our past year of record growth, our team grew to over 165 employees, our revenue grew nearly 500%, and the reach of our logistics network has expanded exponentially.  We’re excited to partner with Adam Ghetti and the team at BOND in our Series C. The round was also joined by Founders Fund, Susa Ventures, Dynamo, Lineage Logistics, and Salesforce Ventures.  A sincere thank you goes to our customers who have trusted us to optimize and accelerate their supply chains, our world-class team for their obsession in making our customers successful, and our investors for their belief in our mission.  Only five years in, we are immensely proud of what our customers are accomplishing with Stord today. As we continue to execute against our long-term mission of building the first end-to-end Cloud Supply Chain, the coming years will only be more exciting. Get started:

ATLANTA, Dec. 2, 2020 As consumers, we have become accustomed to ever-improving delivery quality and speed driven by the infrastructure and capabilities of today’s leading retailers. While the delivery of the items we buy presents a seamless experience on the surface, behind the scenes it is a starkly different reality. The products that show up on our door-step have traveled through a complex web of emails, spreadsheets, and outdated enterprise systems which coordinate a product's journey across different factories, trucks, fulfillment centers, delivery drivers, and more. A small error on a pen-and-paper warehouse receipt at one stop along this journey can disrupt the entire system, leaving a customer frustrated and abandoning a brand in favor of one that delivers more reliably.   While behemoths like Amazon have spent decades building their logistics network and technology in-house, the average brand is stuck trying to compete with a prime-like experience by piecing together a mix of expensive fulfillment centers, third party logistics providers with rigid contracts, and complex enterprise software. Rolling out software across an enterprise is hard enough, but rolling out software across a distributed supply chain with dozens of different logistics providers and manufacturers is nearly impossible. While many brands are able to ‘get by’ with legacy ERP systems and long term fulfillment center leases, it creates a fragile logistics setup that is not adaptable to change, making it impossible to compete in a world where logistics has become a corner-stone for consumer experience.  Today’s supply chains are inflexible and prone to mistakes, yet consumers' needs are highly dynamic—a reality that brands of all sizes were reminded of in 2020 as the country navigated a pandemic and e-commerce volumes soared. Brands have to serve rapidly changing demand patterns across dozens of channels such as retail, e-commerce, wholesale, and more. While each and every brand can seek to solve this challenge on their own, it is a massively capital and infrastructure intensive undertaking, and distracts them from building great products to delight their customers.  Instead, today’s leading brands are looking for a platform that can provide the infrastructure, scale, and expertise needed to meet their customer needs—without having to build their own in-house supply chain from scratch.  At Stord, our mission is to provide our best-in-class logistics network and software to shippers so they can build fast, scalable, technology-driven supply chains at a fraction of the cost (and even less time) it would take for them to build themselves. We call this the cloud supply chain.  Whereas building a traditional supply chain requires investing substantial time and money in physical infrastructure, complex legacy software, and human expertise, our cloud-supply chain is built to fundamentally abstract these complexities. Stord provides brands a cloud-based platform that offers complex logistics services, with service levels typically only available for the largest brands, and with utility-like pay-as-you-go pricing that a brand can leverage from startup to enterprise-level scale. We believe that we can democratize the heightened consumer experience that is today only available to the largest brands. If successful in converting the traditional supply chain paradigm, we will help even the playing field for brands of all sizes to provide their customers with delightful experiences, and remove massive inefficiencies from the $2T+ global logistics industry.   While this has been our mission from day one, the need for our solution in the market could not be more clear. Over the last year, our team has grown from 40 to over 125 employees, our logistics revenue has grown nearly 500%, our software segment has grown over 900%, our shipment volume has grown more than 15,000%, and we are just getting started.   To keep up with customer demand for our end-to-end cloud supply chain platform, we have been busy this past year. From launching our software platform and integration offerings on top of our supply chain services, incorporating freight and last mile into our network, and launching e-commerce fulfillment capabilities to help omnichannel brands, we have been relentlessly focused on the needs of our customers. Today, Stord provides the software capabilities and logistics network to move an omnichannel shippers product end-to-end—from the time it arrives at a port or leaves a manufacturing line, to its destination of a consumer, retailer, or other business—through a fully integrated experience with greater visibility, heightened flexibility, lower cost, and faster delivery.  Re-architecting one of the worlds largest and most outdated industries is no small feat, requiring the right capital as well as expertise around the table. To fulfill this mission, we’re excited to welcome Founders Fund to our journey, who has a long track-record partnering with companies to disrupt massive industries. Our Series B also included significant participation from existing investors Kleiner Perkins, Susa Ventures, and Dynamo, as well as participation from strategic investors such as Jeffrey Raider at Good Friends Fund (Co-Founder of Harrys and Warby Parker), Karen Page at B Capital Group via its Ascent Fund (an early-stage, partner-backed fund), and BoxGroup. Our world-class investors collectively provide us the expertise needed to rebuild a massive category while partnering with both sophisticated enterprise brands as well as rapidly growing e-commerce companies.  While this investment serves as great validation of our mission and what we have built so far, we are only just beginning. There is an enormous amount to do, and we will remain relentlessly obsessed with the needs of our customers’ for decades to come—providing them with lower costs, greater efficiency, and more ways to reach their end customers.  A sincere thank you is owed to our customers who have trusted us to optimize and improve their supply chains, and to our team for their obsession with making our customers successful.  This is a significant milestone and a testament to our hard work, but it’s only the beginning.  Onward, Sean

Stord to Represent Atlanta as Best Tech Startup at National Awards

Stord to Represent Atlanta as Best Tech Startup at National Awards

ATLANTA, September 30, 2020 “We were intrigued by Stord because of their ability to be the one point of contact for us, no matter how many warehouses we had. Working with their team has proven to be a great way to do business -- Stord has a vast network capable of providing a solution in every location. I see Stord as being our primary ecommerce warehouse provider in North America.” - Zach Kissel, VP of eCommerce Services at IPG.  IPG’s manufacturing plants are located throughout North America but IPG needs to be able to deliver locally to ecommerce customers who require products within a 1-2 day delivery window. They had a number of relationships with 3PLs across the country, but getting reliable services and information from each one of them became unmanageable as the business continued to grow. Their next option was to identify their best performing partners and ask if they had warehouse space in other cities, but none of them had facilities in every location that IPG needed. Then the IPG team was introduced to Stord, who set up a forward stocking location for IPG in Indianapolis. A couple months later IPG tapped into more locations in Stord’s network, after finding that working with Stord was resulting in a lightened workload, reduced back-and-forth communication and improved service. The next step for IPG was to integrate into Stord’s platform and further reduce manual operational effort like entering orders or uploading bills of lading. Stord integrated their cloud software with IPG’s ERP. With Stord’s software also individually connected to each warehouse’s software system, IPG only needed to look in one software platform to find, control and analyze orders across their forward stocking network. This single integration allowed IPG to rapidly onboard their existing warehouses to Stord’s platform, as well as expand to additional locations in Stord’s extended distribution network of 500+ warehouses and 15k+ carriers across North America. IPG currently operates in five different warehouses across Stord’s network and plans to add additional locations in the coming months, all of which will be connected through Stord’s initial integration. Because Stord’s network is flexible, IPG can seamlessly open new locations or close others as needed to support their customers without hefty launch or termination fees. Why Stord? Before partnering with Stord, IPG’s ecommerce network was supported by numerous 3PLs, all of whom required their own contract and software, causing complications in data and reporting. Each time the company needed to launch a new forward stocking location, they had to vet a new facility, sign a new contract, and ramp up their supply chain team on that warehouse’s software. Stord’s integration brought all their inventory and order data to one place. Through centralized and normalized data visibility on Stord’s platform, IPG is able to glean actionable insights and make data-driven decisions across their distributed logistics network.  Stord worked directly with IPG’s team to handle their integration from beginning to end, from kickoff and discovery, technical requirement gathering, development of advanced process flows, integration development and testing to go-live and continual support. Since Stord’s ERP integration can be reused across their logistics network, IPG can now use Stord’s platform to launch any independent factories/facilities/3PLs, or continue to expand their network through Stord’s nationwide 3PL coverage.

Stord Partners with IPG to Launch New Warehouse Collaboration After Centralizing eCommerce Operations with a Single Integration to Connect Their ERP to Stord’s Omni-Channel Distribution Network

ATLANTA, June 12, 2020 Stord is on a mission to help leading companies build and scale optimized, cloud-based supply chains. Since our launch, we have been laser-focused on improving our customers’ warehousing networks to optimize the placement of their inventory. In doing this, we have been fortunate to partner with leading shippers such as Dollar General, Advance Auto Parts, Intertape Polymer Group, Crystal Geyser, Owens Corning, and more—which have led our distribution network to only increase in capability, reach, and scale. After launching our model with warehousing and facilitating thousands of shipments in our network annually, it became evident that our customers needed less friction between holding their inventory and moving their inventory—the handoff from the warehouse operator to the truck driver. Simply put, everything coming into our warehouses, and everything going out, unless parcel/courier, is moved on a truck. Additionally, as we layer in more network design and inventory placement optimization for our customers, we needed to offer increased freight capabilities to enable the re-balancing of inventories across networks.  To truly serve as an end-to-end platform for our customers, STORD has set out to vertically integrate down the value chain and is proud to launch our  When we met the team, we knew it was a unique match that we had to move quickly on. Cove was started by a former UPS Freight executive who built the company to be a leading outsourced freight provider, truly delivering on their customer commitments, instead of just another transactional brokerage.

Stord Wins Atlanta Business Chronicle's 2019 Pacesetter Award, Ranks 13th on Atlanta’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies List

Today marks a significant milestone for STORD’s customers, partners, and team members. We are thrilled to confirm the news that STORD has closed a $12.3M Series A funding round, led by Kleiner Perkins and joined by existing investors including Susa Ventures and Dynamo, among others. This brings our total capital raised to-date to $15 million. In conjunction with this round, we are announcing our new model and a new category of distribution — Networked Distribution — which will further our mission to empower modern shippers to move products brilliantly. I’ve included my thoughts on what this means to our team, customers, and the market as a whole below. The Trouble with Distribution Today If you look around, nearly everything we touch runs through a global supply chain system. As customer expectations for delivery have increased exponentially in the last decade, there has been a massive burden placed on supply chain systems to perform. Whether it is a retailer ordering new stock from a supplier or a CPG brand replenishing raw materials, buyers want their products quicker and with lower shipping costs. To accomplish this, shippers have shifted to keeping product closer to customers across the country by outsourcing their warehousing and distribution to local third-party logistics providers. While utilizing 3PLs has helped increase distribution speed, it has also created an operational nightmare for shippers, who find themselves managing dozens of vendors, locked into long-term contracts, and without software to manage inventory or data to make real-time decisions. As a result, each year shippers move trillions of dollars of goods through an inefficient and costly logistics system that’s held together by manual labor, spreadsheets, phone calls, and a myriad of emails. While there has been a rise of “on-demand” companies and “marketplaces” that provide shippers a temporary band-aid for inventory overflow, the real problem that shippers face clearly goes much deeper than spot capacity. The Solution: Networked Distribution Our team at STORD believes that shippers deserve a better distribution experience. One that’s agile instead of rigid, automated instead of manual, and intelligent rather than opaque. A ‘next generation’ distribution experience transformed by technology and innovation. Simultaneously, modern shippers require logistics expertise, strategy, and partnership to successfully navigate supply chains that are complex, brittle, and ever-changing. Those shippers that effectively harness technology and innovation to amplify rather than replace these crucial human elements will be the winners. At the intersection of these requirements, Networked Distribution was born — a model that we’re proud to pioneer, and a new category that we’re excited to lead. Combining technology and data, a vast network of 3PLs, and high-touch support and logistics expertise — all managed through a software interface — Networked Distribution gives shippers a central hub with one network, one platform, and one partner to simplify all warehousing and transportation. Our Growth In the last year, we have grown revenue roughly 10x and expanded our team from 5 employees in a small co-working space to surpass 30 in our own HQ in the heart of Atlanta’s thriving technology community. At the same time, we’ve been both honored and humbled to receive awards and recognition from the likes of Forbes, Inc., the Wall Street Journal, Supply & Demand Chain Executive, American Shipper, Atlanta Business Chronicle, and the Technology Association of Georgia. None of this growth would have been possible without the partnership from our incredible customers. STORD has been fortunate to work with some of the leading enterprise brands, helping them move their products globally, while dramatically reducing time per order, last mile costs, damage and errors, and late deliveries. For example, we are fortunate to partner with one of the largest beverage companies in America who came to us because — with 20+ different 3PLs across the country to manage, increasing last-mile costs, and fluctuating demand from their customers — distribution was an uphill climb. With STORD, they have eliminated the need to manage 20+ providers by meeting their warehousing and transportation needs through a single network. They increased speed-to-market. And, through one integration to STORD’s platform, they can easily manage it all with real-time optimization and true visibility across all nodes in their supply chain. Moving Forward Today, we move over $200M of product every month — undeniable proof of the power of our Networked Distribution model. While this number is substantial and growing, our journey is just getting started. The $12.3M investment will help us officially pioneer and scale this new category. With this new infusion of capital, we’ll aggressively expand our network of warehouses, distribution centers, and transportation partners to extend our network coverage and service capabilities. We’ll grow our engineering organization to boost platform innovation, providing shippers and warehouse partners more visibility and automation than ever before. At the same time, we’ll continue to invest in people — the logistics talent needed to provide best-in-class services and support to meet the complex, global logistics requirements of our customers. We intend to hire more than 50 new team members before 2020. And we aim to build a staple technology brand in Atlanta — providing growth opportunities and a great place to work for the talented and innovative people in our vibrant city. Our New Investment Partner Fixing a large-scale, global problem requires ingenuity and hard work, but also capital and expertise. We’re thrilled to partner with a storied investment firm like Kleiner Perkins, one of the largest and most established venture capital firms in the country. Our partnership with their team adds key expertise garnered from their long history of helping pioneers build long-term, multi-billion-dollar technology companies — household brands like Amazon, Google, Twitter, and Spotify. As part of this, we could not be more excited to welcome Ilya Fushman, partner at Kleiner Perkins, to our board of directors. We are also incredibly proud to receive continued support from existing investors such as Susa Ventures, Dynamo, and more. This $12.3M Series A comes 11 months after we announced our $2.4M seed round—which was co-led by Susa Ventures and Dynamo and included investments from Chris Klaus, Revolution’s Rise of the Rest Seed Fund and the Atlanta-based corporate-backed fund, Engage. Thank You Our team is passionate about living at the intersection of global logistics and enterprise software. This investment will serve as a great foundation for us to transform the $163 billion dollar warehousing and distribution industry, and impact the $1.5 trillion dollar logistics and supply chain industry as a whole. A sincere thank you to our new and current investors, our incredible team, our network of service providers, and our customers who have chosen to partner with us on this journey. We couldn’t be more grateful. This is a significant milestone and a testament to our hard work, but we are all looking forward to the future and recognize that we are only at the beginning. Onward, Sean --- Some words from our investment partners:

Warehousing Tech Startup STORD Moves to Double Headcount—Hiring 20+—Following Seed Round and Adding Strategic Investment from Tom Noonan ATLANTA, GA—December 13, 2018—STORD®, the networked warehousing and distribution partner on a mission to help modern shippers distribute products brilliantly, today announced plans to hire 20+ following their April 2018 seed funding and with the addition of a strategic follow on investment from Tom Noonan, finalized in June 2018. Noonan is a prolific tech investor, entrepreneur, and founding partner of Atlanta-based venture capital firm TechOperators. STORD is using the seed funding and strategic investment to accelerate the expansion of a world-class team, to drive greater software platform innovation, and to meet demand from mid-market and enterprise businesses shifting rapidly to cutting-edge warehousing models. In recent months, STORD has quickly emerged as a high-growth disruptor in the warehousing category, more than quadrupling revenue, doubling headcount, and increasing volume from their largest Fortune 500 customer by a factor of 8. This growth is a direct result of the company’s relentless commitment to excellence in both service and innovation.  In June 2018, after the company’s $2.4 million seed round in April 2018, STORD received a strategic follow on investment from Tom Noonan, a prolific investor with deep domain expertise in enterprise software. Tom Noonan has presided over several successful investments and exits both personally and during his tenure at TechOperators. Noonan also has a long history of building billion-dollar companies, including JouleX which was acquired by Cisco for $107 million in 2013, and Internet Security Systems, Inc. which was acquired by IBM for $1.9 billion in 2006. “I back companies that are transforming their industries and I’m thrilled to have made this strategic investment in STORD,” said Noonan. “Companies are craving a way to get their products into their customers hands better – faster, cheaper, easier, more reliably. They have been looking for a partner who can help them put in place the right warehousing capability to get them there. STORD clearly understands this need and is revolutionizing the way companies distribute their products. That’s why they are growing so fast.” “Buyer expectations are increasing exponentially so shippers are taking their product distribution capabilities to the next level,” said Sean Henry, STORD’s CEO. “With STORD, modern shippers can move beyond the challenges of traditional warehousing and freight: several disconnected warehouses, no inventory visibility, little operational support. STORD offers a completely different warehousing experience for the modern age: a single partner, flexible coverage across the country, total inventory visibility, high-touch operational support, and more.” Jacob Boudreau, STORD’s CTO commented, “STORD’s explosive growth and passionate community of shippers and warehouse operators reinforces the uniqueness of what we’re doing. Adding this strategic investment following our seed round has enabled us to scale, touch new markets and expand our vision to perfect warehousing for businesses of all sizes.” As the company readies itself to meet the growing demand of mid-market businesses and enterprises, this strategic investment is helping further position STORD as the leader in networked distribution. The $2.4 million round of seed funding raised in April of 2018 was co-led by Susa Ventures and Dynamo and included investments from Chris Klaus, Revolution’s Rise of the Rest Seed Fund and the Atlanta-based corporate-backed fund, Engage.

Stord Moves to Double Headcount Following Seed Round

Stord Moves to Double Headcount Following Seed Round

STORD RAISES $2.4 MILLION IN SEED FUNDING TO GROW CATEGORY LEADING WAREHOUSING & DISTRIBUTION PLATFORM   — Atlanta-based STORD, has raised $2.4 million in seed funding to expand its team and software capabilities while it increases its warehousing facility footprint. This venture capital round was led by Susa Ventures and Dynamo and includes investments from Revolution’s Rise of the Rest Seed Fund and Atlanta-based corporate backed fund, the Engage Fund. STORD is a provider of a real-time global warehousing network that connects independent, third-party warehouses via an enterprise software platform to drive inventory efficiency. —- ATLANTA, April 18, 2018 --  “We believe there is a huge opportunity to bring modern technology to the logistics and warehouse industry.” said Chad Byers, co-founder and General Partner at Susa Ventures. “As we’ve seen through our early investment in Flexport, a global technology-powered freight forwarder, there is tremendous value in building a software layer that sits above underlying operators and asset owners. In doing so, we believe STORD can build the world’s largest virtual distribution network, delivering insight and efficiency for customers and asset owners.” Co-Founders of STORD, Sean Henry (CEO) and Jacob Boudreau (CTO) started the company in 2015. STORD has innovated in the legacy warehousing and distribution industry by creating a platform that allows for flexible warehousing. Henry and Boudreau’s rapid expansion of STORD within the logistics industry has landed the pair on the 2018 Forbes 30 Under 30 list for Manufacturing and Industry. Additionally, the company was featured by INC.com as one of “America’s Top 30 Emerging Companies of 2017.” STORD, which has launched in over 100 warehouses in the United States, is a software-enabled warehousing company; it provides warehousing nationwide by connecting a proprietary network of facilities nationwide through an enterprise-level software platform. STORD’s supply chain software gives customers access to inventory, order management, product analytics, and smart optimization tools to enable data-driven product distribution. Customers can centralize their distribution with STORD’s software and quickly expand to new markets. The platform allows optimization of facility locations and inventory stocking levels which saves on last mile delivery and inventory holding costs. The average customer of STORD is saving 25 minutes of manual operations on each order while centralizing their data to gain insight and control over their supply chain. “Today’s businesses have dynamic needs and as a result, rigid and inflexible warehouse/distribution practices are under-serving the needs of customers.” said Santosh Sankar of Dynamo. “STORD remains focused on customers and is on a path to virtualize warehousing resources and provide a more nimble/flexible relationship without losing sight of customer service. The $163B warehousing industry suffers from severe fragmentation. There are roughly 9,000 warehouse facilities in the U.S. and nearly 6,000 of those are run by independent or mid-sized operators. The largest 3,000 are owned by only 60 companies. This fragmentation forces shippers to rely on different warehouses in each market creating a siloed process. STORD’s supply chain management technology is designed to allow a shipper to manage their product at scale, by giving them access to the most expansive footprint of any 3PL, while allowing the customer to manage everything from an intuitive online platform. “STORD saw the unique opportunity to take a massive, fragmented industry like warehousing and distribution and win by owning the customer relationship and the software rather than owning the physical asset itself. It is another great example of founders solving big problems in cities beyond the coastal tech hubs” said J.D. Vance, Managing Partner of Revolution’s Rise of the Rest Seed Fund. STORD is continuing to build out its proprietary network of warehouses nationwide and is launching new features for customers to better analyze and optimize their product distribution. STORD has a growing client-base and is using the round of funding to continue their growth. For more information on STORD visit
