Smart Warehousing stands out as a leader on the Fulfill.com network, bringing 25 years of logistics expertise to food & beverage and consumer packaged goods (CPG) brands nationwide.
A Legacy of Innovation and Growth
2026 marks a significant milestone for Smart Warehousing—their 25th anniversary in the logistics industry. What began as a vision to revolutionize warehousing has evolved into a sophisticated operation spanning 12 strategic markets across the United States, serving brands from emerging startups to established household names.
"Twenty-five years in this industry has taught us that success isn't just about moving products—it's about becoming a true extension of our clients' teams," says Smart Warehousing leadership. "Every system we've built, every process we've refined, has been designed with one goal: helping our partners scale without the growing pains."

This technology-first approach means faster problem resolution, custom integrations, and systems that evolve with client needs rather than being limited by vendor constraints.

Smart Warehousing targets brands that align with their expertise and infrastructure:
• Order Volume: 300+ DTC orders per month

Case Study: How Táche Achieved 300% Growth with Smart Warehousing
The partnership between Smart Warehousing and Táche—the first pistachio milk in the U.S.—perfectly illustrates the transformative impact of choosing the right 3PL partner.
The Challenge
When Táche launched in 2020, they quickly grew from a kitchen experiment into a nationally recognized brand found in Whole Foods, Target, Erewhon, and cafes nationwide. However, rapid growth brought significant logistics challenges.
Working with their previous 3PL created daily headaches: inventory inaccuracies, incorrectly packed orders, missed SLAs, and even lost pallets. Dock-to-stock times stretched 7-14 days, and poor communication left Táche's lean team constantly firefighting instead of focusing on growth.
"Dealing with these significant backend issues had an incredible impact on Táche's reputation. Customers were upset, orders were being canceled," recalls Mike Van Dorn, Vice President of Operations and Finance at Táche.
The Search and Selection
Frustrated with their existing provider, Táche evaluated multiple 3PLs. Smart Warehousing consistently came recommended through word-of-mouth and industry connections.
"We were looking for a partner that was as open and honest as possible, and you guys hit the nail on the head with that," Mike states. "We visited Smart's warehouse and two or three other potential partners as well, and I think that was really what sealed the deal. There was just a level of calm, frankly, that was emanating out of the warehouse where I did not get that feeling at others."
The Solution and Implementation
Smart Warehousing delivered immediate improvements through:
- Seamless Integration: Direct ERP system connections eliminated over 60% of manual tasks, crucial for Táche's one-person operations team.
- Operational Excellence: Strict SOPs and clearly defined cut-offs created predictable workflows and eliminated daily surprises.
- Technology Advantage: SWIMS provided reliable, in-house-managed systems instead of problematic third-party platforms.
"It was a very smooth onboarding process. Implementation went as smoothly as it could have been. We're seeing benefits on our side where we're saving time, resources and money," Mike explained.
The Remarkable Results
The partnership delivered transformative outcomes:
• 300% growth since transitioning to Smart Warehousing
• 60% reduction in manual tasks for operations
• 90% faster inbound processing (24 hours vs. 7-14 days)
• 99% order accuracy (up from frequent errors)
• Nearly flawless inventory management
• Day one receiving, day two shipping capability
Most importantly, Táche avoided hiring additional operations staff despite massive growth, thanks to Smart Warehousing's efficient systems and integrations.
"We have been able to handle this growth seamlessly without growing pains. Smart's team has been able to grow with us and adapt to our needs. At no point have we felt stifled in our growth," Mike notes.
A Partnership Built on Trust
Beyond operational improvements, the partnership provides something invaluable: peace of mind.
"The biggest improvements from switching to Smart has been consistency. If there are issues or questions, I know exactly who to call and I always get an answer. There's always that level of stability which is invaluable," Mike voices.
"When speaking with other brands, it feels like we're the outlier because we genuinely have good things to say about our warehousing partner. It's something we really value and don't take for granted."
