Armstrong & Associates’ Evaluation:

GENCO has become one of the largest value-added 3PLs in North America. It has a series of niched solutions heavily integrated to specialized IT applications. Basic services are contract logistics, reverse logistics, product liquidation (GENCO Marketplace), pharmaceutical services, damage research, transportation logistics including a large parcel negotiation/audit operation, and government logistics and operations support. GENCO dominates the reverse logistics area, which provides about 40% of revenue. There is a heavy emphasis on integrating Six Sigma/Lean Logistics and sustainability initiatives. IT applications include the leading return logistics software program R-Log, voice tasking, RFID, robotics, optical real-time location system, pick/put-to-light, and hydrogen fuel cell powered forklifts all supported by a R&D technology learning center. GENCO is a technological generation ahead of most VAWD 3PLs. GENCO has a host of “A” level operations in all its value-added specializations.
