FAQs

What types of operations are best suited for dedicated warehousing in Guelph?

Guelph supports a mix of regional distribution, eCommerce fulfillment, and compliance-based warehousing. The city’s proximity to Toronto and key Ontario markets makes it ideal for companies managing mixed-order volume or regulated products that need consistent oversight.

How does Legacy manage a dedicated operation differently from a shared 3PL environment?

Legacy builds every dedicated site around a single customer’s business. That means the systems, layout, and labor model are yours — not shared.

Can the Guelph facility handle specialized or regulated products?

Yes. The site operates under Health Canada licensing and follows strict handling and documentation protocols. It’s built to support compliance-driven supply chains while maintaining full traceability through the WMS.

What kind of technology supports warehouse operations?

The facility runs on the Manhattan SCALE WMS, which gives customers visibility into inventory, order status, and key performance data. This system integrates directly with customer platforms, allowing for real-time updates and seamless communication across the supply chain.

How does the Guelph operation handle demand fluctuations or seasonal surges?

We use flexible labor planning and scalable workflows to adapt quickly to changing volume. Teams are cross-trained across pick and pack, and returns to maintain throughput, and space can be reallocated seasonally to meet customer requirements without disrupting service.
