ACR Supply Partners

What ACR Supply Partners does

ACR Supply Partners is a privately owned Australian third-party logistics provider headquartered in Eastern Creek, New South Wales, operating three facilities across NSW and Queensland. The company delivers contract warehousing, EDI-accredited scan packaging for major retailers, cross-docking, distribution and freight services, and a suite of managed services including international freight forwarding, customs brokerage, and 4PL project management. Its core customer base consists of suppliers selling into major Australian retailers that require mandatory EDI compliance, alongside import/export businesses needing brokerage and freight support.

The technology backbone is the Paperless Warehousing Warehouse Management System, deployed with Motorola wireless wearable computers and real-time Radio Frequency infrastructure installed and supported by Dematic Pty Ltd, enabling total supply chain visibility through RF barcode scanning. The WMS integrates bidirectionally with client ERP and accounting systems via a tailored host system interface, supported by redundant server infrastructure for disaster recovery. EDI accreditation with most major Australian retailers functions as both a technical capability and a market credential that gates competitor access to supplier business.

ACR's revenue model combines subscription-like recurring contract warehousing fees, transaction-based freight and cross-docking charges, and professional service fees for managed offerings. Pricing is quote-based and non-public. Go-to-market is direct sales-led, relationship-driven, and concentrated on long-term partnerships, with lead capture through the company website and LinkedIn. The firm remains owner-operated under founder Werner Struve with no disclosed institutional investment, M&A activity, or external funding.
