How does the Columbus office support carrier development?

We focus on building and strengthening carrier relationships across the Midwest and East. By developing consistent lanes and capacity partnerships, we help ensure customers have reliable options even during peak demand or tight markets.

What international transportation options are available near Columbus?

Columbus is home to Rickenbacker International, one of the country’s few cargo-dedicated airports, with regular global service from major freighters. Combined with FTZ #138 and nearby intermodal rail, Columbus supports both import and export freight movements seamlessly.

Can Columbus handle both regional and long-haul transportation needs?

Yes. Columbus’s interstate access makes it an efficient hub for regional moves to cities like Cleveland, Cincinnati, and Pittsburgh, while also providing reliable linehaul service to the East Coast and Midwest. This balance gives shippers flexibility to cover multiple service areas from a single location.

What role does technology play in transportation operations?

Legacy integrates advanced transportation management systems (TMS) that provide real-time tracking, electronic data interchange (EDI), and carrier performance monitoring. These tools help customers gain complete visibility into their freight.

Warehouse Technology and Automation for Supply Chains

Warehouse Management System

Manhattan SCALE is a Tier-1 warehouse management system trusted by global brands. By deploying it in the Microsoft Azure Cloud, Legacy delivers enterprise-grade speed and scalability with lower cost and faster setup.

While we standardize on Manhattan SCALE in dedicated environments, Legacy also has deep experience managing customer-owned WMS platforms. If your operation runs on an existing system, our teams are fully capable of operating, optimizing, and integrating within it.

From Shopify and Amazon to SAP and NetSuite, your order flow stays connected and accurate from the moment a purchase is made to the moment it ships.

Automation

Faster Fulfillment with Automation Tools

Processes are automated where it adds speed and consistency. People still drive performance, but machines help them do it faster.

Cobots

Collaborative robots, or cobots, work directly with warehouse staff to increase speed and consistency. They assist with order picking by guiding workers through tasks, confirming items as they’re scanned, and transporting completed picks for packing or shipment.

Conveyance

High-volume sortation and conveyance systems increase both quality and speed. One warehousing site saw a 70% jump in audit speed and a 50% cut in manual labor, with cycle times that stayed predictable across shifts.

Order Management System

More Control Over Orders

Legacy’s Order Management System connects fulfillment and transportation through a single source of truth.

It automates order routing, synchronizes inventory, and aligns every system to the same real-time data. Our proprietary application selects the best shipment option across multiple sites in real time—maximizing speed, reducing cost, and laying the groundwork for future network expansion.

That consistency is why we continue to see near-perfect accuracy across the supply chain:

Pick & Pack Fulfillment

Better Performance on the Floor

Our tech-enabled fulfillment process includes WMS-directed picking, automated sortation, and scan validation. At some sites, we’ve deployed cobots to make pick and pack faster and easier for warehouse staff. We ensure each order is fulfilled accurately and efficiently no matter the channel or volume.
