CaseStack Success Story

Situation

CaseStack was founded in Santa Monica, California, in 1999 by Dan Sanker, a former executive with Nabisco, Kashi, and Procter & Gamble. CaseStack is a provider of supply chain management services including warehousing, transportation, and supply chain management software. The company collaborates with retailers to provide sustainable logistics solutions.

Dan Sanker, CEO of CaseStack, noticed that larger suppliers had an advantage over their midsize counterparts when it came to warehousing and distribution. In an effort to level the playing field, Sanker sought to offer consolidated programs, efficient warehousing systems and streamlined transportation management to midsize suppliers. This would allow the suppliers to increase efficiency and cost savings.

Solution

In 2008, Sanker opened a CaseStack office in Fayetteville, Arkansas, to serve as a Supply Chain Innovation Center. Sanker believes that Northwest Arkansas has the potential to become the global hub for ideas in sustainability, supply chain and computer packaged goods.

Results

CaseStack’s Fayetteville office has grown from 56 to 182 employees since its inception. During that time, the company grew full-time employees by 225 percent. Today, the company is known for its freight consolidation programs for retailers of all sizes, including Walmart, Kroger, Target, Sam’s Club and Amazon.

CaseStack is one of a handful of companies to be named one of Arkansas’ Best Places to Work by Arkansas Business and Best Companies Group five years in a row. The company has been recog- nized in Food Logistics’ Top 85 3PL Providers, Global Logistics & Supply Chain Strategies 100 Great Supply Chain Partners, and Inbound Logistics’ Top 100 3PL Providers.
