Toronto, Canada - August 4, 2026 – Bluerock TMS (Bluerock), a cloud-native transportation
management system provider, and SNS, a global supply chain consulting and systems
implementation firm, today announced a strategic partnership to provide customers with an
integrated approach to warehouse and transportation management.
Through the partnership, SNS extends its role as a supply chain technology transformation partner, offering clients broader coverage across warehouse management, transportation management, and the integration between the two operational areas.
Customers now have the option to work with SNS as a single implementation and integration partner across both WMS and TMS, reducing coordination overhead and delivery risk associated with managing multiple vendors across interdependent systems.
SNS brings more than 20 years of supply chain experience and a record of over 350 WMS deployments across complex and multi-region environments. By pairing SNS’s Infor WMS expertise with Bluerock TMS’s purpose-built transportation platform, the two companies offer clients a best-of-breed combination that brings together specialized warehouse and transportation capabilities, while preserving the flexibility of an integrated, multi-platform architecture.
The partnership is already being demonstrated through the companies’ work with First Supply, a leading distributor of HVAC, plumbing, waterworks, and industrial PVF products operating 56 locations across the Upper Midwest.
“Partnering with SNS gives our customers a more coordinated delivery model from the warehouse floor through transportation execution and final delivery. The First Supply deployment demonstrated what that model looks like in practice, and the results gave us confidence to build a formal structure around it. We are committed to the North American market, and this partnership is a direct extension of that commitment,” said Brent Wallace, VP North America, Bluerock TMS.
First Supply selected Bluerock TMS to support transportation operations at its new 308,000-square-foot distribution center in West Salem, Wisconsin. The solution supports outbound transportation management and includes a planned last-mile capability for customer deliveries across the region.
For the project, SNS implemented Infor WMS, Bluerock implemented its transportation platform, and the two teams jointly developed the integration between the systems. The project helped establish the operational and technical foundation for the formal partnership between SNS and Bluerock TMS.
“We selected Bluerock TMS because it could support last mile, LTL, and full truckload operations within one scalable platform. What differentiated Bluerock was not only the technology, but also the level of engagement and commitment demonstrated by its leadership team from the beginning. That partnership has continued throughout the implementation and has been instrumental in bringing our new distribution center to life,” said Teran Everett, Transportation and Logistics Manager, First Supply.
First Supply’s West Salem facility is designed to support the company’s continued growth and serve as a platform for operational innovation. Practices developed at the facility are expected to be standardized and extended across the company’s wider network, helping improve product availability and customer service throughout the region.
With North America as the primary focus market, Bluerock TMS and SNS will initially focus on manufacturers, retailers, and distributors using Infor WMS that are seeking to strengthen transportation execution and integration with warehouse operations. The companies will also pursue broader opportunities where customers require coordinated WMS and TMS delivery.
“For more than 20 years, SNS has built its practice around warehouse execution. The First Supply project reinforced how closely warehouse and transportation operations must work together, and how much complexity can arise when they are delivered separately. By combining our WMS implementation and integration experience with Bluerock TMS’s transportation platform, we can give customers a more coordinated delivery model, clearer accountability, and a smoother flow from warehouse execution through transportation,” said Mario Ghosn, CEO of SNS.
Bluerock TMS is a cloud-native transportation management system built to support inbound and outbound logistics, freight payment, last mile delivery, and supply chain visibility. Founded in 2013 and headquartered in the Netherlands, the company is recognized in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Transportation Management Systems and serves enterprise customers across North America, Europe, and the Middle East.
