Vacaville, CA and San Jose, CA (May 15th, 2025)— North Bay Distribution, a US-based 3PL leader ranked in the top 7% users of advanced robotic solutions, has partnered with Cartesian Kinetics to automate its multi-tenant B2C piece-picking fulfillment process.
Known for its 99.9% inventory accuracy rate and its commitment to helping its clients deliver products within one day of order placement, North Bay has set a precedent for innovation within the 3PL industry.
With Carte+, North Bay aims to triple its existing throughput, manage up to five customers in a single module, and track stock-keeping units (SKUs) in real time, right from picking to the shipping stages.
Claiming its spot as 3PL leader with multi-tenant Robotics Solutions
When asked about their decision to invest in a multi-tenant robotics solution like Carte+, North Bay’s CEO Dominik Dittrich explains, “With increasing labor constraints and costs, we were looking for ways to more efficiently service our clients while increasing order accuracy and employee engagement.”
Further detailing how Carte+ can support North Bay Distribution, Jayendran Balasubramanian, Cartesian Kinetics’s CEO, states, “Carte+ offers flexibility that’s ideal for North Bay’s fluctuating business. The advanced multi-tenant robotics solution supports many SKUs that can fit into totes and cartons, depending on the customer’s requirements. Additionally, it can switch between customer profiles and workflows, such as order fulfilment, sorting, and returns. This gives them the flexibility to adjust in real-time as their business demand changes.
Future-proofing fulfillment operations
North Bay is expected to Go-Live in time for Peak and is optimistic about achieving the expected ROI in less than two years. The logistics leader also plans to implement Carte+ across the North Bay Fulfillment Network in North America to ensure 2-3 day deliveries. The automated solution will service omnichannel fulfillment across ecommerce direct to consumer, store replenishment, Amazon FBA/FBM/VC/SFP, and Wholesale.
