The Barrett WMS

Representing our largest ongoing capital investment, the Barrett technology stack is at the heart of our 3PL services.

We have been operating our Warehouse Management System (WMS) platform for over 10 years and have continually made process enhancements which have allowed us to process B2C and B2B orders with increased accuracy and efficiency.

Technology in Warehouse Management Systems

Technology is at the heart of our third-party logistics services and represents our largest year over year capital investment. Barrett has made millions of dollars in programming investments in optimizing our WMS workflows to meet the increasing service demands of Direct-to-Consumer, Retail & Wholesale customers.

Barrett WMS powered by Synapse

The order processing, fulfillment, and material handling activities at Barrett are powered by the Synapse WMS. Synapse is a real-time, RF enabled warehouse management system that is the foundation for our operational excellence, in the areas of inventory accuracy, receiving accuracy, put-away, picking, shipping, audit, load accuracy, on-time pick-up, and on-time delivery.

Synapse has extensive capabilities, including omni-channel fulfillment business processes, RF tracking, real-time visibility via web portal, FIFO/FEFO processing, lot management, pick front replenishment, wave management, put wall interface, batch picking and automation in the form of autonomous robots within the warehouse to support B2C fulfillment programs.

Barrett Distribution is an early adopter and leading user of the Synapse software. As such, we are actively involved with the Zethcon team in the software's on-going development and upgrades.
