ODW Logistics Opens New E-commerce Fulfillment Center in Columbus, OH

ODW Logistics is opening a high-technology logistics center near Columbus, Ohio to take e-commerce fulfillment to the next level. 

“We are focused on delivering innovative supply chain solutions to middle market and growth-focused customers,” said ODW Executive Vice President Jeff Clark. “This facility brings a scalable, out-of-the-box e-comm fulfillment solution to companies that serve key US and Canadian markets.”

The location—along Interstate 71 in Grove City—provides a strategic hub that is within a 10-hour drive to nearly 50 percent of the U.S. population and one-third of Canada.

The 200,000-square-foot facility is ready for multiple e-commerce shippers and planned to be fully operational by October 1, 2018. 

It is set up for zone pick and pass with high and low-velocity zones and has Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) dense racking and storage. A Tier1 warehouse management system (WMS) is fully implemented throughout the building.

The facility is equipped with technology that includes bar code scanning, manifesting software, static and in-motion scales, dimensioning, label print and apply, and sortation capabilities.

ODW is also installing integrated technology that can be fully customized for each shipper. The first user is a rapidly growing company that ships thousands of fast-moving personal products every day. Among the features provided by ODW is an A-Frame conveyor system that will process up to 6,000 orders per hour.
