Fillogic Partners with Simon Property Group to Launch Multiple Tech-Enabled Micro Distribution Hubs at Select Properties
July 14 2020 - 7:00AM
Fillogic, the logistics-as-a-service platform for retail, announced
today that it is growing its network of Fillogic Hubs by teaming up
with Simon Property Group to launch multiple, tech-enabled micro
distribution hubs at select retail properties.
Opportunities for retailers to leverage their stores and
inventory as a competitive advantage for order fulfillment continue
to grow, and Fillogic is focused on helping them improve service
levels, reduce costs, and optimize asset utilization through
strategically located, mall-based, tech-enabled distribution hubs.
Fillogic is also focused on unlocking efficiencies for logistics
providers by aggregating and streamlining the flow of inbound and
outbound freight with Fillogic’s on-site staff, logistics
infrastructure (Fillogic Hubs), and proprietary technology.
“Physical retail provides distinct advantages in profitability
and sales, and increasingly logistics is a competitive
differentiator,” said Bill Thayer, Fillogic’s co-founder and
co-CEO. “Landlords, retailers, and freight providers have always
inhabited the same ecosystem, but until now they have not operated
as an integrated network. Fillogic is the mortar that connects
bricks to clicks and makes both more profitable.”
The company will be opening Fillogic Hubs at the Livingston Mall
and Gloucester Premium Outlets, the latter of which will be their
first location at an open air or outlet center. One of these new
locations is also Fillogic’s largest hub by square feet.
“We’re excited to be teaming up with Fillogic and expanding the
retail supply chain services available at our centers through the
addition of two new hubs in New Jersey,” said Andy Hutcherson, SVP
of Innovation & Customer Experience at Simon. “From our early
implementation of last mile delivery services to providing
convenient return locations for our retailers and guests, Simon has
been leading the industry in supply chain innovations originating
from its centers and Fillogic hubs are the latest example of
that.”
“We’re thrilled to be working with Simon Property Group as we
grow our network of Fillogic Hubs by 300% over the next 12 months,”
said Rob Caucci, Fillogic’s co-founder and co-CEO. “The quality of
their national property portfolio and their forward-thinking
approach to the future of retail made it a no-brainer for us to
team up with them in shaping that future together.”
