Allied Distribution LLC Adds Woods Distribution as New Dallas, TX Member Company 3PL

Tech-driven logistics provider joins highly respected group to gain national footprint in aggressive growth strategy

FRESNO, CA, UNITED STATES, October 21, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Allied Distribution is pleased to welcome Woods Distribution as our newest member company in the Dallas/Ft. Worth region of Texas.

Woods is a one-stop outsourced distribution partner offering warehousing, transportation, packaging and real estate services under one system. It operates facilities in Fort Worth, Texas, and West Chicago, Illinois, and reaches 75% of the U.S. population in one day. The Woods management team views Allied membership as a key step in providing its customers more nationwide options, in collaboration with the group’s other member companies, each a ‘best-in-region’ third party logistics (3PL) provider in a major US metropolitan region. Woods strengthens the Allied network in the critically important Dallas/Ft.Worth, Texas geographic region.

Customers work with a dedicated team that learns their products and customers. Woods’ mission is to relentlessly pursue reliability and trust in America’s outsourced supply chain.

Tech distinguishes Woods Distribution from the pack in this field. “We thought the legacy tools weren’t giving us the automation and visibility we needed to run the business, or the backend visibility the team needed to support the operation, or visibility at the levels customers require, ” said Luccas Borges, Partner, Woods Distribution. “So we built our own. Now we have a tech stack that is as good or better than any Tier 1 or anything in the market, but it’s cost effective and flexible, adapted for our operations needs, customized specifically for our operation, our team and for our customer information needs.”

Woods’ cloud-based warehouse management system (WMS) key features include:

• A live, 3D map of every pallet in the building, with each pallet’s journey tracked from receipt to shipment
• A “Control Tower” dashboard showing every truck and pallet company-wide, with carrier performance tracked daily
• Detailed tracking of warehouse and yard activity, and faster bill of lading tracking
• 24/7 customer portal access and EDI/API integration with customers’ systems
• Inventory accuracy of 99.7% or better through automated scanning

The decision to build rather than buy came from the partners’ desire for tighter control of the operation and better communication with partners and customers. Established Tier 1 systems are strong but can be rigid, and building in-house lets Woods adapt its tools as the business and its customers’ needs change. Bill of lading tracking is one example: the Woods system matches the functionality of the large platforms while significantly cutting the time their systems require.

This partnership is about giving Woods customers more options without losing the personal service that has always been at the heart of the company.
