The Challenge

Badger Fulfillment Group, established in 2018, embarked on a mission to transform their business model from a traditional business-to-business (B2B) model to a hybrid operation that includes direct-to-consumer (DTC) order fulfillment. To achieve this, they built a new 120,000 sq. ft. warehouse in Harvard, IL, specifically designed for third-party logistics (3PL) operations. However, for their state-of-the-art facility to succeed, they recognized the need for a flexible and scalable Warehouse Management System (WMS). The challenge was to find a solution that could streamline their processes for end-to-end management of B2B, B2C, and location-to-location (LTL) order fulfillment. They needed a system that could handle the different types of customers they wanted to take on, eliminate order and shipment inaccuracies, and maintain visibility for each of their clients.
