FORT WORTH, TX / ACCESS Newswire / October 22, 2026 / Woods Distribution, a Fort Worth-based third-party logistics (3PL) provider, is highlighting its integrated retail logistics platform for brands, retailers, and suppliers that need to keep shelves stocked, fulfill online orders, and move freight reliably without coordinating a patchwork of separate vendors.

Retail supply chains have grown more demanding across every channel. Brands must manage seasonal peaks, promotional surges, rapid store replenishment, and e-commerce orders at the same time, while meeting retailer compliance requirements and tight delivery windows. Woods' retail platform brings traditional distribution and e-commerce fulfillment together so inventory, orders, and shipments are managed consistently across every customer touchpoint.

"Retail brands are being asked to do more with less margin for error, from replenishing big box shelves to shipping direct-to-consumer orders the same week," said Will Scherer, Director of Sales of Woods Distribution. "We give them one partner that can store the product, prepare it for each channel, and get it where it needs to go, so their teams can spend their time on merchandising and growth instead of logistics."

Warehousing sits at the core of the offering. Woods provides shared warehousing that scales with seasonal demand, as well as dedicated warehousing for operations that need a custom environment, supported by approximately 30 million cubic feet of warehouse space in Texas and 8 million cubic feet in Illinois. A warehouse management system with a client portal, EDI and API integration, and real-time inventory visibility helps customers optimize stock levels and prevent stockouts.

For suppliers and manufacturers, Woods simplifies inbound logistics and vendor compliance. Its supplier consolidation programs synchronize vendor deliveries, standardize compliance requirements, and bring multiple supplier relationships into a single point of management, giving customers greater visibility and accountability across their vendor base.

Value-added services are handled inside Woods' warehouses, which helps retail customers avoid sending product to outside vendors before it ships. Capabilities include specialized packaging, custom labeling, price ticketing, and retail display building, along with e-commerce fulfillment designed for accuracy and speed.

Transportation is built into the same platform. Woods operates its own trucks for local full truckload, less-than-truckload, box truck, and drayage service in Dallas-Fort Worth, and its in-house brokerage team arranges freight nationwide, including intermodal and cross-border moves. Retail delivery programs include distribution center delivery optimization and last-mile solutions. Because warehousing, packaging, and transportation are coordinated by one provider, customers receive a single, streamlined invoice rather than reconciling bills from multiple vendors.

Woods serves a wide range of retail segments, including department stores, specialty retailers, big box stores, discount retailers, convenience stores, omnichannel retailers, e-commerce platforms, and direct-to-consumer brands. Companies evaluating logistics for retail brands can combine these services as their channel mix evolves.

"The more handoffs there are between a warehouse, a packaging vendor, and a carrier, the more chances there are for a missed delivery window or a compliance chargeback," Scherer added. "Bringing all of it under one roof and one invoice gives retail customers clearer accountability and a supply chain that can flex with their busiest seasons."

In addition to retail, Woods supports companies in food and beverage, consumer packaged goods, industrials, health and beauty, and apparel and footwear with integrated warehousing, transportation, and packaging designed to reduce complexity across the outsourced supply chain.
