Redwood Logistics Acquires Skipjack Supply Chain and Proactive Global Logistics to Form Comprehensive Integrated Parcel Solution

June 2, 2021
SupplyChainBrain

Redwood Logistics, a logistics platform company headquartered in Chicago, has announced the company has acquired both Skipjack Supply Chain and Proactive Global Logistics to launch Redwood Parcel, a comprehensive integrated parcel solution leveraging Skipjack’s parcel technology and PGL’s parcel expertise.

Originally founded in 2002, Skipjack is a Multi-Carrier SaaS parcel platform that provides cloud-based rating, labeling and manifest capabilities with native integration to Oracle Transportation and Warehouse Management applications. These capabilities, coupled with a history of implementation and optimization of parcel operations, have been built to reduce the complexity of outbound parcel shipping for their clients.

Founded in 2015, PGL is a full-scale, non-asset-based parcel service provider, managing transportation for hundreds of shippers. PGL provides a holistic approach to finding value in the parcel and multimodal landscape through its focus on market and contract analysis, procurement, business intelligence and ongoing optimization of end-to-end supply chain operations.

“Redwood customers can now enjoy a fully integrated parcel solution, offering rating, labeling, visibility, analytics, reporting and savings through our enhanced parcel expertise,” said Mark Yeager, Chief Executive Officer at Redwood. “E-commerce continues to emerge as a vital growth channel for many of our customers, and we are pleased to expand our freight management and platform capabilities to offer superior parcel expertise that will drive efficiency in their supply chain planning and operations.”

“Redwood Parcel is a prime example of how we continue to listen to our customers’ needs for additional, flexible digital logistics offerings,” said Michael Reed, Chief Product Officer at Redwood. “Integrated through our LPaaS open platform, this new comprehensive integrated parcel solution will provide our customers immediate value in their e-commerce processes, integrating parcel and procurement capabilities throughout a company’s existing supply chain network.”

Redwood Parcel fully optimizes the integration capabilities of LPaaS, the Open Platform for Digital Logistics. The underlying connectivity layer powered by RedwoodConnect enables Redwood Parcel to connect with existing systems to streamline workflow and maintain control and visibility of parcel shipments as they move throughout the supply chain network.
