A major beauty brand continues to raise the bar for operational excellence, and Kenco is ready to help support that growth. As it expands its distribution footprint and strengthens support for its brand partners, Kenco’s Multi Client Solutions (MCS) network offers flexible, scalable space designed for fast growing beauty brands that need room to grow without the long lead times of traditional DC expansion. A recent example: Poom, an emerging brand, leveraged space in Kenco’s Jeffersonville MCS facility, home to an AutoStore system, to expand their reach, improve speed to market, and support rising demand. By tapping into an automation enabled environment, Poom gained access to faster picking, higher accuracy, and a fulfillment model that scales with their growth, all without the cost or complexity of standing up dedicated infrastructure. What makes Jeffersonville even more powerful is the data layer behind it. Kenco’s data applications provide real time visibility into the productivity and performance of every automation and tech asset in the building, from AutoStore throughput to labor efficiency to order cycle times. This transparency gives brands and retailers the confidence to scale, optimize, and forecast with clarity. With Kenco’s elevated distribution capabilities, including automation ready environments, advanced inventory visibility, data driven operational planning, and real time performance insights, brands can scale quickly, confidently, and cost effectively.

Route changes happen. Customer expectations don't. A customer appointment shifts. A stop needs to move. A new order comes in. Suddenly, planners are forced to rework routes that were already optimized, consuming valuable time and introducing unnecessary complexity. At Kenco, we believe transportation planning should be as agile as the supply chains it supports. That's why our Transportation Technology team developed Lock Stop Optimization, an intelligent routing capability that allows planners to adjust only what needs to change while protecting the rest of the optimized plan. What does that mean for customers? • Faster response to customer requests • Greater flexibility for complex multi-day routes • Less time spent rebuilding schedules • More reliable, on-time deliveries • A true white-glove experience that keeps customer commitments intact Innovation isn't always about reinventing the supply chain. Sometimes it's about removing the inefficiencies that stand between customers and exceptional service. #Innovation #TransporationManagment #Digitization #Logistics #DataInsights #SupplyChainSolutions #3PL #Kenco

What happens when fuel costs rise while contract transportation rates continue to firm? For manufacturers and shippers, it can create added pressure across transportation budgets, inventory strategies, and customer service commitments. While domestic freight demand remains an important factor, broader global market conditions continue to influence fuel costs and transportation economics. At the same time, the gap between spot and contract rates has narrowed, reducing the pricing advantage that many companies have relied on during transportation procurement cycles. These trends highlight why supply chain leaders increasingly focus on transportation visibility, network flexibility, and proactive planning. Understanding how fuel costs, capacity conditions, and rate movements interact can help organizations make more informed decisions around sourcing, inventory positioning, and distribution strategies. As transportation markets continue to evolve, understanding the factors influencing fuel, rates, and capacity can help organizations make more informed supply chain decisions.

Great internships build careers. Exceptional internships build character. This summer, our interns did both. As part of Kenco's internship program, our interns were challenged to develop and lead a volunteer initiative that would make a meaningful impact in our community. They exceeded every expectation. Together, they organized a successful donation drive benefiting Chattanooga Room In The Inn, supporting women and children experiencing homelessness. Beyond raising donations, they rolled up their sleeves and volunteered their time, helping clean and prepare homes for the families the organization serves. At Kenco, investing in our communities is just as important as investing in our people. That's why service, teamwork, and giving back are woven into every internship experience. As Marketing Intern Leslie Mines III shared: "It's been rewarding to see our internship experience extend beyond the workplace and into the community. Experiences like our volunteer day at Chattanooga Room in the Inn highlight the values that make Kenco such a special place to learn and grow. Beyond developing professional skills, I've had the opportunity to work alongside a group of interns who are passionate about giving back, supporting one another, and creating a positive impact wherever we can. I'm grateful to have served alongside Leah Landry, Damieon Brown Jr. , Anna Minor, Elisabeth Bennett, sydney callison, Bree Durham, aPHR, Evan Gilliam, Peyton Giordano, Graham Clark, Logan Goodbred, Nicolas Johnson, Lucy Owusu, Rana Saad, Grace Shepard, and Nathaniel Stoker. Thankful for the opportunity to learn, grow, and give back together. Proud to be part of a team that values community impact and making a difference beyond the workplace." We're incredibly proud of this group and the passion, leadership, and heart they brought to this project. The future is in good hands. #CommunityImpact #Internship #Volunteerism #PeopleFirst #Chattanooga #Kenco #3PL #Logistics #SupplyChain

📣 Big day for DeepFabric! Today we're announcing our partnership with Kenco Group, one of North America's leading third-party logistics providers, and this is one of our favorite announcements yet. In three months, Kenco put six DeepFabric AI agents into live production across commercial, operations, transportation, and client service. Twenty more are planned across the enterprise over the next year. Every agent runs with full workflow context built in: systems access, permissions, evidence trails, and human review. Kenco's teams can inspect the work, approve or override it, and expand only where it proves out. This is what we built DeepFabric to do. Congrats to David Caines, Pal Narayanan, and the entire Kenco team, we're just getting started. Read the full announcement: https://lnkd.in/gAKD_qQ7

What if your inventory could adapt before demand changes, not after? For many companies, the biggest inventory challenges don't start in the warehouse. They start with forecasts that can't keep pace with today's volatile supply chains. AI is changing that. By analyzing real-time operational data, AI is helping businesses anticipate demand shifts, optimize inventory levels, improve warehouse flow, and reduce the costly cycle of overstocking, stockouts, and expedited shipments. The result isn't just better forecasting, it's a more agile, resilient supply chain built to respond with confidence. Read our latest insights to learn how AI is helping organizations take greater control of inventory costs while improving operational performance: https://lnkd.in/edwCFigd #ArtificialIntelligence #SupplyChain #DemandForecasting #InventoryOptimization #WarehouseManagement #SupplyChainInnovation #Logistics #Kenco
