Despite being a leader in sustainable meat production, Force of Nature struggled with inefficient logistics as it expanded. By adopting Owlery's industry-leading TMS, they streamlined their transportation processes with modern, automated tools.

The Problems

Before Owlery, Force of Nature's logistics operations were rife with manual processes and lacked integrated technology. It had no TMS, and its WMS lacked the functionalities to coordinate the transportation of 100+ fresh or frozen shipments per week.

• Managing shipments revolved around emails and spreadsheets
• High risk for human error in order processing and carrier coordination
• Relied on limited carriers — didn’t have time to find competitive shipping options

This bottleneck was particularly challenging in the niche market of frozen LTL shipping, where flexibility and competitive pricing are crucial.

“With Owlery, nothing falls through the cracks. This solution saves me a day’s worth of emails and prevents a truck from getting stranded.”

— Shawn Gray | Logistics Manager
