North American 3PL looks to grow its operations and enhance its capabilities with Blue Yonder’s WMS

HARRISONBURG, Virginia, and SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Aug. 25, 2022 – With disruptions impacting every part of the supply chain, third-party logistics (3PL) providers need to optimize their operations to be agile and efficient to positively service customers by successfully managing the transport and storage of their products, while also differentiating themselves in a highly competitive market. That’s why InterChange Group has chosen to digitally transform its warehousing capabilities with Blue Yonder, a leader in digital supply chain transformations and omni-channel commerce fulfillment. InterChange Group will implement Blue Yonder’s SaaS-based warehouse management system (WMS), warehouse labor management (WLM) and Luminate Billing, all part of Luminate® Logistics, to futureproof its warehouse and fulfillment operations. The project will be implemented by Ascension Logistics, a Blue Yonder implementation and technology partner.

InterChange Group is a 3PL that offers a wide array of warehousing, logistics and land development services to its customers. The company has more than 20 warehouses located primarily in and around Virginia serving customers on the East Coast and internationally for both cold and dry storage. The company was looking to unlock operational efficiencies and inventory traceability for its warehouses that could help scale its business, so it turned to Blue Yonder for the solution.

With Blue Yonder, InterChange Group will:

  • Have seamless control over managing cost containment and revenues related to services rendered. 
  • Scale quickly to meet new customer requirements and business growth opportunities.
  • Unlock operational efficiencies and inventory traceability to better service existing customers and capture new business.
  • Further invest in data management for customer and third-party food safety certifications.
  • Gain the ability to integrate various automation and material handling equipment now and in the future.

“As we look to grow and offer best-in-class services to our customers, we needed warehousing capabilities that could scale and help us elevate our business strategy. Blue Yonder offered us a mature solution that met each one of our requirements. Their capabilities will allow us to expand seamlessly and meet the growing requirements of our varied customer base,” said Devon Anders, president, InterChange Group.

InterChange Group will deploy Blue Yonder’s WMS and WLM to fully digitalize its warehouses and gain improved inbound and outbound visibility into shipments, as well as optimize operations and resource planning to ensure accuracy, timeliness, efficiency, and compliance. The company will also be able to reduce cost and better utilize its most important resource of all – its people.

“We have been very impressed with InterChange Group’s current and future plans to support their family of customers. They clearly have a strong focus on providing differentiated, agile offerings that allow their customers to grow with them moving forward. Our team is excited about working with the dedicated InterChange Group team to successfully implement Blue Yonder, the leading supply chain execution company in the industry,” said Scott Wells, vice president of Sales, Ascension Logistics.
