Shared Supply Chain Platform Activates New
Multi-Tenant, Connected Facility in Under 60 Days
Quiet Platforms, a wholly owned subsidiary of American Eagle
Outfitters Inc. (NYSE: AEO), today announced that it has expanded
its fulfillment capacity with the June activation of a new,
multifunctional, connected fulfillment facility in Atlanta.
Launched in under 60 days, the new facility demonstrates the speed
at which Quiet Platforms can bring new sites online to meet the
dynamic needs of its retail brand partners. The sortation and
fulfillment center joins Quiet Platforms’ national network of
facilities offering end-to-end, fully managed supply chain services
that enable mid-sized retailers to compete effectively with the
largest enterprises on speed and cost of fulfillment.
“The activation of the Atlanta facility represents a major step
forward in our strategy of building a connected network and
democratizing access to high-performing supply chain solutions,”
said Bill Besselman, Chief Commercial Officer, Quiet Platforms.
“This launch further expands our national fulfillment network,
which provides access to integrated inventory solutions, a
multi-tiered carrier network that enables next-day delivery, and
real-time analytics.”
The Atlanta facility is a key addition to Quiet Platforms’
network, bolstering the company’s footprint in the Southeast and
expanding its edge capabilities, such as same-day delivery, to
Atlanta, which ranks sixth among the fastest-growing U.S. metro
areas and is now the eighth-most populous metro area in the
country, according to the latest estimates from the U.S. Census
Bureau.
The state-of-the-art facility offers smart containerization and
flexible sortation capabilities that enable carrier and courier
consolidation, as well as robotic-augmented operations that support
multiple brands. The Quiet Platforms facility is optimally located
near a broad transportation network that includes Interstates 85
and 95, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, the
CSX/BNSF intermodal railroad and the Port of Savannah.
“Technology has the power to simplify. Ours reduces lead times,
accelerating our customers’ ability to scale to efficient,
distributed, multi-nodal networks,” added Charles Griffith, CTO,
Quiet Platforms. “Quiet Platforms enables the rapid activation of
new fulfillment facilities and offers brands immediate access to
sophisticated supply chain solutions built on world-class
operations.”
Quiet Platforms’ suite of technology add-on solutions allows
retailers to quickly enhance their fulfillment capabilities to
provide best-in-class delivery experiences to their customers. With
opt-in services ranging from intelligent inventory control to
optimized transportation management, parcel consolidation and
robotic picking, the platform’s ever-expanding network and
integrated technology services give retailers the ability to create
faster, more cost-efficient and greener supply chains.
