Louisville processes more packages per day than almost any point on earth. Build logistics software that matches the speed and scale of a city built around moving things.
The Louisville Logistics Technology Challenge
Distribution operations in Louisville compete in a market shaped by UPS's world-class operations next door. Customer expectations for speed and visibility are the highest in the country. The bourbon industry adds unique supply chain complexity — barrel tracking, aging records, and TTB compliance requirements that off-the-shelf logistics software never addresses. Peak season brings volume spikes that overwhelm unprepared systems.
