Burris Logistics

What Burris Logistics does

Burris Logistics is a fifth-generation, family-owned supply chain company founded in 1925 and headquartered in Milford, Delaware. It operates through two principal subsidiaries: Honor Foods, a foodservice redistributor that carries more than 7,000 in-stock items from 800+ brand-name suppliers of frozen, refrigerated, dry, dairy and protein products across 39 states; and Trinity Logistics, a top-20 U.S. freight brokerage arranging over 50,000 loads per month across truckload, LTL, intermodal, drayage, expedited, and international modes via a network of 70,000+ authorized carriers and 130+ agent offices. Burris also operates a dedicated temperature-controlled fleet and, since 2024, Eagle Business Credit for factoring services to its carrier network and external SMBs.

The company's proprietary technology platform is a meaningful differentiator: an in-house Warehouse Management System originally built in 1989 and continuously upgraded, the Burris Supply Chain Portal (BSCP) for end-to-end supply chain visibility (PO management, produce inspection, dock scheduling, demand planning, yard management, load builder, alerts), and a Transportation Management System with native integrations to Navision, Salesforce, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Project44, Truckstop.com, Cleo, and DAT. Voice-directed distribution within the WMS achieves 99.88% accuracy with an 11.9% productivity uplift.

Burris generates revenue primarily through transaction fees on freight brokerage (Trinity) and product margin/redistribution fees (Honor Foods), supplemented by managed transportation services, dedicated fleet contracts, and factoring fees. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales supported by regional service centers (Seaford, DE; Dallas; Urbandale; Kansas City; Scottsdale; Orlando), a 130-office freight agent channel, and partner inquiry forms on the website. The customer base spans foodservice distributors, retail (BJ's, The Fresh Market, Market Basket, Giant Food), manufacturers, e-commerce companies, chemical and industrial shippers, importers/exporters, and academic and government institutions. In October 2023, Burris divested its public refrigerated warehouse and e-commerce fulfillment business to Lineage Logistics to refocus on freight solutions and redistribution.
