As a third-party logistics provider with over 80 years of experience in the industry, Barrett Distribution understands that speed and accuracy are crucial. E-commerce brands need their orders picked, packed and shipped to customers within minutes. Barrett meets these demands by offering a wide range of integration options tailored to its client's specific needs. Barrett's Expertise in Simplifying IT Integration for Clients Barrett supports everything from traditional, straightforward system integrations like flat files transferred to an SFTP site to more sophisticated solutions such as Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) over AS2 or a value-added network (VAN). However, the real innovation lies in Barrett’s robust stack of REST APIs. These APIs allow clients to programmatically interface with various systems within Barrett, including the Warehouse Management System (WMS) layer, providing a future-ready technology solution. For tech-savvy clients, this means the possibility of integrating with Barrett’s systems even before operations go live, ensuring a smooth transition and continuous operation. Additionally, Barrett offers quick and effective plug-in solutions for popular platforms like Shopify, WooCommerce, and QuickBooks Online through its partnership with Pipe17. This enables rapid integration, making connecting with Barrett's systems easier for clients using these platforms. For brands using NetSuite, Barrett's long-standing Oracle SDN partner expertise provides a best-in-class interface. Whether a client uses TrueCommerce, SPS Commerce, or another EDI provider, Barrett can integrate seamlessly, making NetSuite the central hub of operations. This flexibility extends to environments with pre-existing customizations, allowing clients to benefit from Barrett’s solutions without disrupting their current setups.

This strategic investment ensures Barrett can provide a secure environment for client operations and data, safeguarding against potential data loss and other cyber threats.
