Racklify Warehouse of the Week: Barrett Distribution Centers

A Legacy of Logistics Excellence

This week’s Warehouse of the Week goes to Barrett Distribution Centers, a trusted national leader in third-party logistics and fulfillment. Headquartered in Franklin, Massachusetts, Barrett has been building reliable, scalable, and technology-driven supply chain solutions for more than 80 years.

Operating more than 6 million square feet of warehouse and distribution space across 24 facilities in nine states, Barrett provides both shared and dedicated environments that support retailers, manufacturers, and e-commerce brands nationwide. Their strategic footprint — spanning Greater Boston, New Jersey, New York, Baltimore, Memphis, Dallas, and Southern California — gives customers speed, flexibility, and access to key shipping corridors across North America.

Technology and Innovation at the Core

Barrett’s success is rooted in innovation and precision. The company has invested millions in programming and material-handling technology, integrating advanced automation and optimized warehouse management system (WMS) workflows that support direct-to-consumer sales, drop shipping, and omnichannel retail.

Barrett’s WMS allows seamless transitions between B2B and B2C operations, delivering item-level tracking, real-time reporting, and KPI visibility across every channel. Whether shipping a single e-commerce order or a full truckload for a retail partner, Barrett’s operations are built for accuracy, scalability, and speed.

Supporting Amazon and Retail Partnerships

As highlighted in a recent Racklify News article, Barrett was recognized for its partnership supporting Pompa Program, a growing health and wellness brand. That collaboration demonstrated Barrett’s ability to deliver precision fulfillment, temperature-controlled storage, and fast two-day delivery from its Memphis facility — a clear example of their omnichannel capabilities in action.

Barrett is also an approved Amazon Vendor Central trading partner, supporting weekly FBA replenishment, Seller Fulfilled Prime, and Marketplace Drop Shipping. They process thousands of Amazon-related orders each month throughout their nationwide network, providing compliance, visibility, and efficiency for brands managing multiple Amazon sales channels.

Trusted by Leading Brands Across Industries

From health and wellness to apparel, beauty, consumer electronics, luxury goods, and pet products, Barrett’s diverse client portfolio speaks to its flexibility and reliability. The company’s value-added services — including kitting, custom packaging, branded inserts, and specialized labeling — help elevate the customer experience, ensuring every unboxing reflects the brand’s identity.

Barrett’s retail and B2B logistics programs are equally robust, providing case, pallet, and inner-level order processing that meets even the most complex retail compliance requirements, including routing guides and EDI integrations.

Why Racklify Chose Barrett Distribution Centers

Barrett Distribution Centers was selected as this week’s Warehouse of the Week for its long-standing leadership, advanced technology adoption, and proven record of operational excellence.
