WARP and Davinci Micro Fulfillment partner to enable country-wide, two-day shipping for customers and enhanced inventory management

WARP, a tech-powered freight network specializing in middle-mile solutions, announced today they’ve partnered with Davinci Micro Fulfillment, a leading micro fulfillment as a service company backed by technology and physical locations, to provide their customers with country-wide next day and two-day shipping through enhanced inventory management including better middle-mile visibility for carrier injections and warehouse to-warehouse transfers.

Davinci’s suite of technology backed by machine learning and AI includes micro fulfillment, front-end merchandising, and network optimization that ultimately provides an Amazon-level experience for brands and their customers. But, prior to partnering with WARP, Davinci had to rely on national carriers like UPS, FedEx, and USPS and was subject to their volume minimums and schedules. WARP stepped in to provide two additional pieces to the puzzle, middle-mile optimization and visibility in order to reach an extended network of regional and local carriers. With these two pieces, Davinci’s customers can how receive faster and more cost-efficient shipping options. Both WARP and Davinci’s customers will benefit from physical consolidation solutions powered by WARP, thus lowering the cost of transportation for all parties involved.

“WARP’s operational execution is second to none,” said Corey Aprian, Davinci Micro Fulfillment CEO. “Not only is their customer operations side phenomenal, but their pick-up and on-time delivery rates are also off the charts. Our ability to sign additional brands has increased exponentially because of the lower cost of delivery that the new network provides. We’ve had a 25-30% decrease in total operating costs in all of our fulfillment centers with the new infrastructure provided by WARP.”

Project Canary CEO: ‘Cut the Crap’ on Energy Transition, Fossil Fuels

I'm Jordan Blum, editorial director with Hart Energy here at CERAWeek by S&P Global, and I'm talking to Chris Romer, CEO of Project Canary.

Jordan Blum: So much of the focus with the energy transition is on renewable energy, but just as important is making oil and gas as clean as possible. Can you talk about just how Project Canary comes into play?

Chris Romer: Well, let's define this energy transition because this is my third CERAWeek and this is really exciting. Look, the energy transition is about energy abundance. We need to cut the crap: the way to get to energy transition is less? No, we need affordable, clean American energy going all over the world. And this is exciting because this CERAWeek has proven to me the energy transition has really started. And Project Canary is a measurement company, we do measurement for MRV [measurement, reporting and verification] to help with methane and with carbon sequestration. We are ground zero for this conversation because we are entering into an era of clean, abundant energy. Renewable is going to play a role, but we're also going to get to net-zero fossil fuels, and we're going to get there very quickly with measurement, and we're really excited about the energy here. I get it, $800 billion worth of tax credits can get a lot of capitalists excited and we are a capitalist.
