Cadre Technologies, Lully AI, and FST Logistics Team Up to Transform Warehouse Operations with AI Integration

AI-Powered Partnership Drives Efficiency, Cuts Costs, and Enhances Labor Productivity

Cadre Technologies has announced a strategic partnership with Lully AI to bring advanced artificial intelligence solutions to FST Logistics, a leading third-party logistics provider based in Columbus, Ohio. This collaboration marks a major leap forward in warehouse efficiency and labor optimization, blending Cadre’s robust warehouse management systems with Lully AI’s innovative automation capabilities.

Streamlined Operations with Measurable Results

At the core of the partnership is the seamless integration of Lully AI into FST’s existing Cadence WMS, developed by Cadre Technologies. Within just one month of implementation, Lully AI began optimizing FST’s order release timing and picking strategies—saving an average of 6 to 8 seconds per order line and improving packing resource allocation.

According to Jason Sorenson, CTO of FST Logistics, “Labor represents our largest expense, so the ability to control labor costs using AI is a game-changer for us. Given the seasonal nature of our business, managing labor efficiently is crucial.”

Efficiency Without Disruption

The AI integration was deployed without disrupting daily operations and even reduced network complexity. Since implementation, FST has seen a 30% increase in units picked per hour—improving productivity while maintaining workforce stability. Unlike traditional automation, which can be costly and hardware-intensive, Lully AI offers a scalable and cost-effective alternative that adapts over time to a company’s evolving needs.

Empowering, Not Replacing, Workers

Rather than displacing labor, Lully AI has allowed FST Logistics to enhance team performance and job satisfaction. The AI system helps warehouse teams process more orders during peak seasons without increasing headcount, offering a people-first approach to modernizing operations.

A Model for Scalable, AI-Driven Fulfillment

“This collaboration showcases the power of advanced technology in warehouse operations,” said Daryl Grove, President of Cadre Technologies. “We’re proud to see how smoothly Lully AI has integrated with our Cadence WMS, enabling FST to deliver faster and more reliably.”

The partnership between Cadre, Lully AI, and FST Logistics offers a replicable model for other 3PLs and e-commerce fulfillment providers looking to modernize without heavy capital investment. As customer expectations and fulfillment complexity continue to rise, AI-powered warehouse optimization is emerging as a key differentiator for competitive logistics operations.
