About
Stord is a cloud supply chain platform that merges physical fulfillment infrastructure with intelligent commerce software to help brands grow revenue, reduce costs, and deliver outstanding consumer experiences. On the physical side, Stord operates a national network of fulfillment centers supporting DTC e-commerce, B2B retail, last-mile delivery, and retail consolidation. On the software side, Stord provides an AI-powered Order Management System (OMS), Warehouse Management System (WMS), multichannel inventory tracking, last-mile optimization, expiration management, and a full consumer experience suite including estimated delivery dates, branded tracking portals, personalized unboxing, post-purchase notifications, shipment protection, and returns management. Stord's software was built in tandem with its fulfillment operations, giving brands tighter visibility and control than traditional 3PL providers. The platform integrates with hundreds of e-commerce storefronts, marketplaces, and tech partners, enabling seamless multichannel selling. Brands like AG1, Native, Tula, American Giant, and Legion Athletics trust Stord to power their supply chains. With AI natively embedded across routing, inventory planning, and consumer experience, Stord helps brands save days in transit, protect brand loyalty post-delivery, and scale confidently. It is best suited for mid-market to enterprise DTC and B2B brands looking for a unified fulfillment and software partner.
