Case Study: Barrett Distribution achieves rapid e-commerce growth and same-day fulfillment with ProShip

Proship Helps Barrett Distribution with E-Commerce Growth

Barrett Distribution, a 75‑year‑old third‑party logistics provider with more than 2.1 million sq. ft. of warehousing and 12 U.S. distribution facilities serving 100+ customers, faced a shift from mass retail to e‑commerce and needed faster, more accurate omni‑channel fulfillment. To meet customer expectations for speed, accuracy and compliance, Barrett Distribution turned to ProShip’s enterprise multi‑carrier shipping and manifesting software, integrated with its warehouse management system.

ProShip automated carrier selection, rate optimization, label and document printing, international compliance and returns processing via simple scans and WMS integration, enabling same‑day shipping during volume spikes and reducing manual invoicing and customs work. As a result of ProShip’s solution, Barrett Distribution significantly increased throughput, ships “exponentially more packages,” and has grown from fewer than six facilities to 12 since deploying ProShip in 2009, strengthening its e‑commerce competitiveness.
