OneRail adds inventory and order management to last mile delivery solution with Orderbot acquisition

OneRail, a last mile delivery fulfilment solution with a network of 12 million drivers across North America, has announced the acquisition of Orderbot, an enterprise Inventory and distributed order management solution, serving brands such as Staples Canada, Petsense, and Red Hat.

Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

The acquisition combines Orderbot’s inventory and order management capabilities with OneRail’s OmniPoint cloud-based last mile operating system and delivery network.

“Retailers and product distributors face a universal challenge: identifying the optimal fulfilment location to minimise costs and maximise order accuracy,” says OneRail Founder and CEO Bill Catania.

“Integrating Orderbot into OneRail provides our clients with a unified solution, which optimises every step of the fulfilment process, whether eCommerce order shipping from a warehouse or DC, a localised delivery from a store or warehouse, or other store fulfilment options, including ship from store and buy online/pick up in-store.”

“OneRail’s vision from the beginning has been to empower shippers with the technology, tools and operational support to seamlessly fulfil from any location via any transportation mode, anytime. The acquisition of Orderbot is a critical next step for OneRail, as we move upstream in the order flow.”

“I am thrilled to combine our expertise with OneRail, and to have found an ideal partner that shares our values and goals to take the company to the next level,” says Orderbot Founder and CEO Marianne Zakhour.

“Our joint solution ushers in a new era of real-time product and delivery data that will empower businesses of all sizes to achieve perfect order fulfilment, enhancing their ability to fulfil orders faster with more accuracy and efficiencies than were ever possible before.”
