Warehouse of the Week: DCL Logistics – Four Decades of Precision, Innovation, and Strategic Fulfillment

Warehouse of the Week: DCL Logistics – Four Decades of Precision, Innovation, and Strategic Fulfillment

This week’s Racklify Warehouse of the Week recognition goes to DCL Logistics, a California-based third-party logistics provider that has spent over 40 years building a reputation for operational excellence, tech-driven fulfillment, and customer-centric innovation. Founded in 1982 as DisCopyLabs, DCL began by duplicating floppy disks for Silicon Valley’s first software companies—developing a precision-obsessed culture that still drives them today.

Today, with headquarters in Fremont and fulfillment centers across the U.S. and Canada, DCL empowers high-growth consumer brands through scalable logistics, integrated technology, and industry-leading service.

Why DCL Logistics Earns Racklify’s Recognition

DCL Logistics meets (and exceeds) the key selection criteria outlined in Racklify’s Warehouse of the Week program:

News Coverage on Racklify News

DCL was recently featured in Racklify News for its launch of SelectShip, an AI-powered shipping optimization engine embedded directly into DCL’s proprietary eFactory platform. SelectShip automatically chooses the best carrier and service level for every shipment—reducing costs, improving delivery speed, and optimizing outcomes for brands during high-volume periods.

Operational Excellence

DCL brings world-class fulfillment accuracy and service: 99.8% on-time shipments, ISO 9001 certification, and an industry-leading 4:1 client-to-account manager ratio. Their platform provides real-time visibility into inventory, orders, and returns—allowing brands to scale with data-driven confidence.

DCL’s clients span multiple verticals, including consumer electronics, health and beauty, wellness, and ecommerce. Whether shipping DTC orders, retail replenishment, or Amazon FBA, their nationwide warehouse network ensures 1–2 day delivery across the U.S. and cross-border capabilities through facilities in Ontario and Europe.

Industry Engagement

DCL isn’t just a logistics provider—they’re a thought leader. With decades of experience and a forward-thinking approach to tech adoption, DCL regularly shares insights via its resource library and is known for partnering with tech platforms like Shopify, NetSuite, and Amazon.

Alignment with Racklify Values

DCL embodies Racklify’s core values: transparency, trustworthiness, and a merchant-first mindset. Their onboarding is frictionless, their pricing is straightforward, and their focus on data-backed operations gives merchants the control and clarity they need. Their real-time tools, automation, and responsive team all make doing business with DCL refreshingly easy.

Unique Differentiators

DCL stands out for blending legacy expertise with cutting-edge tools. Few 3PLs offer a proprietary warehouse management system, embedded AI optimization, and full omnichannel support. Value-added services like branded kitting, custom packaging, and global freight forwarding make them a true logistics partner—not just a provider.

Congratulations, DCL Logistics!

From floppy disks to AI-enhanced fulfillment, DCL Logistics proves that operational rigor and customer focus never go out of style. Their commitment to excellence, innovation, and scalable logistics solutions makes them a worthy recipient of Racklify’s Warehouse of the Week.
