Krasdale Foods has selected a warehouse management system from Made4net to modernize distribution operations at its primary facility in the Bronx, New York.
Made4Net’s WarehouseExpert WMS will replace Krasdale’s previous warehouse and order management technology. The Made4net solution is expected to provide greater operational visibility, improved inventory control and a scalable foundation for future automation.
Krasdale’s 330,000‑square‑foot distribution center in the Bronx supplies grocery, general merchandise and health and beauty products to more than 3,000 independent retail locations in the metro New York region. Banners include Aim, Bravo, C‑Town, Market Fresh, Shop Smart Food Markets and Stop 1 Food Mart.
Taking care of its ‘backbone’
“Our distribution center is the backbone of everything we do for our retail partners,” said Gus Lebiak, president and COO of Krasdale Foods, a family‑owned company founded 118 years ago.
“What stood out about Made4net wasn’t just the software; it was their understanding of grocery distribution. They didn’t need us to explain why product rotation matters or why replenishment timing is critical in our environment. That level of industry expertise gave us confidence this solution would work in practice, not just on paper.”
A real-time solution
WarehouseExpert provides real‑time warehouse visibility, intelligent task management, enhanced inventory rotation controls (FIFO and FEFO), radio‑frequency and voice‑directed workflows, dynamic slotting and automated replenishment triggering.
The system will integrate with Krasdale’s transportation management system, carousel automation warehouse control system and a planned automated storage and retrieval system for small‑goods picking.
“Grocery distribution environments are among the most operationally demanding in retail,” said Dan Waters, VP of sales at Made4net.
“Managing high SKU counts, strict inventory rotation requirements and tight fulfillment timelines requires a WMS that delivers real‑time visibility and operational control. WarehouseExpert gives distributors like Krasdale the flexibility to modernize operations while preparing for the next generation of warehouse automation.”
