UWT Logistics

What UWT Logistics does

UWT Logistics (originally United Warehouse and Terminal, founded 1934) is a family-owned third-party logistics (3PL) provider headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, delivering warehousing, order fulfillment, and domestic freight brokerage to e-commerce businesses, retail distribution companies, and mid-market to enterprise clients across the Southeast and Central United States. The company operates from a single 823 E Holmes Rd facility with over 1.2 million square feet of warehouse space, including climate-controlled zones maintained at 65-75°F with humidity monitoring.

Its core technology stack centers on a Tier 1 Warehouse Management System (WMS) with barcode scanning at every warehouse touchpoint (receiving, putaway, picking, and packing), which the company reports achieves 99%+ inventory accuracy and average client retention of 7+ years. The platform is integrated natively with Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, and Amazon for automatic order syncing, real-time inventory updates, and tracking synchronization, and is complemented by a customer-facing web-based ordering portal providing real-time inventory visibility.

UWT Logistics generates revenue through four streams: (1) managed-services storage fees billed by pallet or shelf space; (2) transaction-based pick and pack fees (per line item and per box size, with 15+ box sizes to minimize dimensional weight charges); (3) freight brokerage margin from arranging Truckload and Less-than-Truckload shipments with preferred carriers; and (4) professional-services revenue from value-added offerings such as relabeling, repacking, kitting, cross-docking, and custom packaging for subscription boxes. Pricing is quote-based with month-to-month agreements and no long-term contracts. Go-to-market is sales-led via a dedicated sales team (reachable at (901) 531-7917), complemented by inbound self-service quote requests through the website and inside-sales phone handling. Same-day fulfillment is offered for orders received before the 2 PM CT cutoff, with daily pickups from FedEx, UPS, and USPS. The company is controlled by the Ozier family across three generations: Calvin Ozier (Chairman, since 1996 purchase), John Ozier (President, since 2000), and David Ozier (CFO, since 2012).

Services are sold on flexible month-to-month agreements and integrate directly with major e-commerce platforms such as Shopify, WooCommerce, Amazon, and BigCommerce.

Product overview

UWT Logistics is a third-party logistics (3PL) provider offering a unified warehousing and fulfillment platform with two core service lines: Warehousing (with Tier 1 WMS) and Domestic Freight Brokerage. The platform integrates over 1,000,000+ square feet of Memphis warehouse space with order fulfillment capabilities including pick and pack, barcoding, inventory control, and specialty services (relabeling, repacking, kitting, cross-docking).

Direct peers

• ShipBob: Tech-enabled e-commerce 3PL offering warehousing, pick-and-pack, and native Shopify/Amazon integrations across a multi-node U.S. network. Directly comparable to UWT's e-commerce fulfillment, WMS-driven operations, and integration-driven value proposition, with a more capital-intensive and geographically distributed model.
• ShipMonk: Multi-node e-commerce fulfillment 3PL with WMS technology, native marketplace integrations (Shopify, Amazon, eBay), and value-added services like kitting. Comparable to UWT in mid-market e-commerce customer focus, technology-enabled operations, and pick/pack + VAS bundling.
• Radial: Outsourced e-commerce fulfillment and omnichannel logistics provider for enterprise retailers and brands. Comparable to UWT's retail distribution and e-commerce fulfillment focus, but at significantly larger enterprise scale with broader geographic coverage.

Emerging players

• Flexe: On-demand warehousing marketplace connecting shippers with distributed warehouse capacity and offering integrated WMS technology. Comparable to UWT's warehousing model with a tech/platform overlay, though operating as a marketplace rather than an asset-based operator.

Broad incumbents

• Geodis: Global logistics provider offering contract logistics, warehousing, and freight forwarding across retail and e-commerce verticals. Comparable to UWT in contract warehousing and omnichannel fulfillment, with much broader geographic coverage.
• GXO Logistics: Pure-play contract logistics provider focused on warehousing, fulfillment, and reverse logistics for large enterprise customers. Comparable to UWT's warehousing + value-added services operating model, though at substantially larger scale with technology-led automation investments.
• XPO Logistics: Large North American less-than-truckload and logistics services provider with significant contract logistics exposure. Comparable to UWT's TL/LTL freight brokerage and warehousing functions, but at the scale of a public Fortune 500 carrier.
• Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA): Amazon's third-party marketplace fulfillment service providing storage, pick/pack, and shipping to e-commerce sellers. Competes with UWT for the same e-commerce fulfillment customer segment but at unmatched scale, with delivery network advantages that smaller 3PLs cannot match.
• DHL Supply Chain: Global contract logistics arm of DHL providing warehousing, fulfillment, and value-added services across multiple industries. Comparable to UWT in contract warehousing and distribution services, with far larger scale, multi-country footprint, and enterprise customer base.
• FedEx Fulfillment (FGN): FedEx's fulfillment and warehousing arm offering e-commerce fulfillment with broad national network and FedEx carrier integration. Overlaps directly with UWT's warehousing and fulfillment business, but operates as part of FedEx's broader logistics portfolio with multi-node coverage.
