Empowering Rapid Nationwide Expansion with Blue Yonder Partnership for Seamless Warehouse Operations
1
The Challenge
Scaling a national cold storage network amid tight timelines and complex operations
Specializing in temperature-controlled logistics, this enterprise partners with food industry clients to deliver integrated handling, storage, distribution, and value-added services that streamline their entire supply chain. The company bridges innovation and supply gaps in the cold industrial market through the design and construction of fully temperature-convertible buildings and the application of modern supply chain technology. These capabilities create significant value for customers and support their strategic objectives.
The company launched an ambitious platform to develop a national cold storage network, aiming to add 200,000 pallet positions of refrigerated and frozen capacity. This vision materialized with the opening of additional U.S. facilities. However, the overlapping go-live dates for these massive sites created resource constrains and required a robust technological solution to futureproof warehouse and transportation operations.
To address this, the company partnered with Blue Yonder for its warehouse management system (WMS), transportation management, labor management, and warehouse tasking capabilities. Implementing this at scale required expert services to ensure precision, efficiency, and alignment with the aggressive timeline— requirements that positioned Argano as the strategic partner for engagement.

Four live sites, accelerated go-lives, and enhanced operational support
