Stord is a software-first 3PL with a proprietary tech platform, a network of 1,000+ fulfillment nodes, and over $10 billion in annual commerce volume across mid-market and enterprise brands.
Stord pairs a proprietary tech stack (WMS, OMS, TMS) with a large fulfillment network for mid-market and enterprise brands running complex omnichannel operations. It's a premium option, with platform fees starting around $30K/year, but the integrated software and 99% two-day U.S. coverage justify the cost for brands that have outgrown basic 3PLs. Not a fit if you're shipping under a few thousand orders a month or want transparent, self-serve pricing.
Stord is an Atlanta-based 3PL and supply chain platform founded in 2015 by Sean Henry and Jacob Boudreau while they were students at Georgia Tech. The company has grown aggressively since then, reaching a $1.5 billion valuation after its May 2025 Series E round and reporting sustained profitability starting in 2024.
The short version: Stord is a software company that also operates warehouses, not the other way around. The platform, branded as Stord One, includes a proprietary warehouse management system (WMS), order management system (OMS), and transportation management system (TMS), all built in-house. All three systems run across every node in the network. Most 3PLs bolt together third-party tools; Stord built its own and orchestrates fulfillment across both owned facilities and partner warehouses from a unified platform.
As of early 2026, Stord operates company-run facilities in the U.S., Canada, the UK, and the Netherlands, with access to a broader network of 1,000+ partner nodes. The company has been on an acquisition streak: Pitney Bowes' e-commerce fulfillment division (2024), UPS subsidiary Ware2Go (May 2025, adding 21 centers and 2.5 million square feet), and Shipwire from CEVA Logistics (January 2026, adding 12 more locations with expanded global reach). They also picked up Penny Black in mid-2025 for post-purchase unboxing experiences.
Stord's customer base skews toward established DTC and B2B brands. Named clients include AG1, quip, True Classic, goodr, Native, and Tula. The company claims to have delivered to nearly 20% of U.S. homes in 2025 and processes over 50 million consumer packages annually.
The company positions itself as a mid-market and enterprise solution, not a startup-friendly budget option. Pricing isn't published, onboarding involves a sales consultation, and the platform fee alone starts around $30,000 per year before per-order and storage charges.
Stord does not publish standard pricing. Every engagement is custom-quoted based on order volume, product characteristics, warehouse needs, and which platform modules you use. You'll need to contact their sales team to get a number.
What we do know: the platform fee for access to Stord One (WMS, OMS, inventory management) starts at approximately $30,000 per year. That's before any per-order fulfillment charges, storage fees, or transportation costs. For a mid-market brand shipping around 5,000 orders per month, total monthly spend likely lands in the $5,000 to $8,000+ range, though this varies based on product size, storage needs, and shipping zones.
Stord doesn't hide that it's not the cheapest option. Their pricing page includes a section called "Why We're Not the Cheapest." The argument: the integrated technology platform reduces total supply chain costs through smarter order routing, better inventory placement, and fewer split shipments, even if per-unit rates are higher than a bare-bones 3PL.
A significant share of Stord's revenue comes from recurring software subscriptions rather than fulfillment services alone. That's unusual for a 3PL. You're paying for platform access on top of operational costs, but it also means the technology is central to the offering, not an add-on.
For context: ShipBob's minimum is around $275 per month, and ShipMonk sits in a similar range. Stord's $30K+ annual platform fee puts it in a different tier entirely. That makes sense if you're doing enough volume to benefit from the orchestration tools, but it prices out smaller merchants.
Contract terms, minimum commitments, and early termination clauses aren't publicly documented. Expect to negotiate these during the sales process.
Stord One Platform
The centerpiece of Stord's offering is Stord One, a proprietary suite that includes a WMS, OMS, and TMS built to work together natively. Inventory visibility, order routing, and shipping optimization all pull from the same data layer. When a customer places an order, the OMS determines which warehouse should fulfill it based on inventory levels, proximity to the delivery address, and carrier rates. That routing spans both Stord-operated facilities and partner warehouses, since all nodes in the network run the same WMS.
Fulfillment Services
Stord handles both B2C and B2B fulfillment from the same network. DTC orders get picked, packed, and shipped with options for custom packaging and branded unboxing experiences. B2B orders (retail distribution, pallet-in/pallet-out, cross-docking) run through the same facilities. The company processes over 50 million consumer packages annually and claims 99.9% order accuracy.
Warehouse Network & Coverage
Stord's owned facility footprint includes U.S. locations in Atlanta, Hebron (KY), Dallas, Ontario (CA), North Haven (CT), Ogden (UT), Ferndale (WA), Portland (TN), and Nevada, plus international sites in British Columbia, London, Peterborough, and Limburg (Netherlands). Recent acquisitions (Ware2Go, Shipwire) significantly expanded this footprint. The broader partner network brings the total to 1,000+ nodes, which Stord says delivers 99% two-day ground coverage across the continental U.S.
Cold Chain & Specialty Handling
Stord offers refrigerated, frozen, and chilled warehouse capacity for food and beverage, supplements, and health products. They also handle kitting, custom assembly, and expiration date management for brands with SKUs that have shelf-life constraints.
Transportation & Freight
Beyond last-mile parcel shipping, Stord provides LTL freight, drayage, and full truckload services (the FTL capability came through a 2024 partnership with Arrive Logistics). Retail consolidation services help brands shipping into big-box retailers.
Consumer Experience Tools
The platform includes estimated delivery dates at checkout, a branded tracking portal, post-purchase notifications, and shipment protection. Larger brands expect these features; many 3PLs still treat them as optional.
Integrations
Stord claims 100+ integrations with e-commerce platforms, ERPs, marketplaces, and retail partners. The Shopify app is live (rated 5.0/5, though with only 2 reviews). The company builds on an API-first architecture, so custom integrations are possible beyond the pre-built connectors.
Stord built its own WMS, OMS, and TMS that run across all network nodes. Most 3PLs stitch together third-party tools; Stord's native integration gives you unified inventory visibility and smarter order routing from a single platform.
Owned facilities across the U.S., Canada, UK, and Netherlands, plus 1,000+ partner nodes. The Ware2Go and Shipwire acquisitions added 33 new locations in 2025-2026. Stord claims 99% two-day ground coverage in the continental U.S.
B2B distribution, DTC fulfillment, and retail compliance all run from the same inventory pool and platform. That simplifies operations for brands selling through multiple channels.
Refrigerated, frozen, and chilled storage alongside kitting, custom packaging, and expiration management. Useful for food, beverage, supplement, and health brands with complex handling needs.
The OMS factors in inventory position, customer location, and carrier rates to pick the optimal fulfillment node for each order. This reduces split shipments and shipping costs as you scale across multiple warehouses.
The platform fee starts around $30K/year before per-order and storage charges. Stord doesn't publish rates, so you'll need a sales conversation to get any pricing clarity. Custom quotes make it hard to comparison-shop upfront.
Only 2 Shopify app reviews and 1 Capterra review as of early 2026. Named case studies look strong, but there's not enough independent merchant feedback to draw broad conclusions about day-to-day service quality.
Four acquisitions in roughly 18 months (Pitney Bowes fulfillment, Ware2Go, Penny Black, Shipwire) means Stord is integrating many new operations at once. Employee reviews cite frequent layoffs and management churn, which can signal operational strain.
The platform fee and custom-quote model price out merchants doing fewer than a few thousand orders per month. There's no self-serve onboarding or transparent starter tier.
G2 reviewers note that feature requests outside Stord's core roadmap can take a long time. If you need niche customizations, expect to wait.
Stord is a strong fit for brands that have outgrown their first 3PL and need more than just warehouse space. The integrated technology platform is the real differentiator. A proprietary WMS, OMS, and TMS running across the entire network gives you visibility and control that most 3PLs can't match. Add the omnichannel capabilities (B2B and DTC from the same inventory pool), cold chain support, and 99% two-day coverage, and it's a solid package for the right merchant.
The "right merchant" part matters. Stord is priced for mid-market and enterprise brands doing real volume. The $30K+ annual platform fee alone filters out smaller operations, and that's by design. If you're shipping a few hundred orders a month and want to compare per-pick rates, this isn't the platform for that comparison.
Watch the acquisition pace closely. Four deals in about 18 months (Pitney Bowes fulfillment, Ware2Go, Penny Black, Shipwire) expand the network and add capabilities. But integrating that many operations at once carries risk. Employee reviews on Glassdoor (3.5/5 across 293 reviews) mention frequent layoffs and management turnover, which suggests growing pains.
Merchant review volume is limited. The Shopify app has just 2 reviews, and Capterra has 1. That makes it harder to independently verify customer experience at scale. The reviews that exist are positive, and named case studies (AG1, quip, True Classic) tell a good story, but the thin public feedback trail is worth noting during your evaluation.
Pricing opacity is the other tradeoff. You won't know what Stord costs until you talk to sales, and custom quotes mean your neighbor brand might be paying very different rates. That's normal at this tier, but get at least two or three competitive quotes before committing.
Stord doesn't publicly state a minimum order requirement. However, the $30,000/year platform fee and custom-quote pricing model make it impractical for brands shipping fewer than a few thousand orders per month. Stord is designed for mid-market and enterprise volume.
Stord uses custom pricing. The platform fee for access to the Stord One suite (WMS, OMS, TMS) starts around $30,000 per year. Fulfillment, storage, and shipping charges are quoted separately based on your product, volume, and network needs. You'll need to contact sales for a specific quote.
Stord operates owned facilities in Atlanta (GA), Hebron (KY), Dallas (TX), Ontario (CA), North Haven (CT), Ogden (UT), Ferndale (WA), Portland (TN), and Nevada, plus international locations in British Columbia (Canada), London and Peterborough (UK), and Limburg (Netherlands). The Ware2Go and Shipwire acquisitions significantly expanded this footprint. The partner network includes 1,000+ nodes total.
Yes. Stord fulfills both B2C/DTC orders and B2B distribution (retail compliance, pallet-in/pallet-out, cross-docking) from the same inventory pool and platform. This is one of its strongest selling points for omnichannel brands.
Stord One is a proprietary platform that includes a warehouse management system (WMS), order management system (OMS), and transportation management system (TMS). It also includes order routing, inventory planning, estimated delivery dates, branded tracking, and post-purchase notifications.
Stord targets mid-market and enterprise brands with a proprietary tech stack and premium pricing ($30K+/year platform fee). ShipBob targets SMBs with a lower barrier to entry ($275/month minimum) and simpler onboarding. Stord offers deeper software integration and omnichannel capabilities; ShipBob is easier and cheaper to start with.
Yes. Stord provides refrigerated, frozen, and chilled warehouse capacity, along with expiration date management. This makes it a fit for food and beverage, supplements, and health product brands with temperature-sensitive inventory.
