Information Systems

Law’s Information System resources offer a wide range of IT solutions. Law utilizes Synapse, an industry leading 3PL solution by Zethcon, to give both our operations staff and our customers a powerful and flexible solution for Warehouse Management.. 

Zethcon builds advanced 3PL software for logistics companies who handle the warehousing and distribution requirements of multiple clients. Their flagship offering, Synapse, enables Law to manage their operations in real time using simple, powerful tools that will improve the agility and profitability of their business. Using Synapse within a fully deployed RF environment we are able to implement tools such as real-time tasking, labor management, and barcode verification to maximize accuracy and productivity.
Ultimately one of the most valuable aspects of Law’s 3PL Services is our flexibility. While Synapse fully supports most customers, every operation has unique challenges and opportunities. Whether it is by Synapse integration, custom API implementation, or even extending existing customer systems to be operated directly in-house at Law, our IT staff has the knowledge and experience to help solve your IT needs.

Synapse™: 3PL Management Suite

Not just a general warehousing solution, Synapse was built from the ground up with 3PL operations in mind. The Synapse environment is well suited to provide customer-specific processing including Direct to Consumer E-Commerce fulfillment, centralized distribution, or supporting Just-In-Time manufacturing supply chains from end to end in true multi-client fashion.
In order to truly maximize efficiencies for your modern business, data is the key. Synapse implements powerful integration and customized reporting tools, including live access to view and manage inventory and orders via the Web Synapse portal, to make the most of our connected warehouse. Synapse functionality includes EDI and flat-file integration as well as interfaces with UPS, FedEx, and other small parcel solutions to provide the tracking and reporting that your business needs.

For some customers we bring their systems in-house, operating as an off-site location directly on their systems, directly updating their systems. No matter what IT solution we use, our IT staff has the knowledge and experience to solve all your IT needs.

Rail

Their location, which is serviced by Pan Am Railroad, serves as a central location for the distribution of product to and from New England. We have decades of experience loading and unloading all types of rail cars, ranging from undercover unloading of box cars to secured fended in yard unloading of center-beam lumber and steel flat cars.

Variable Cost Advantage for Growing and Seasonal Businesses

Growing businesses often lack the capital to build and epuip warehouses and/or fleets of trucks. Seasonal fluctuations can put pressure on distribution systems, or worse, leave valuable capital assets idle. Before investing in an expensive warehouse facility, fleet of trucks and the resources, equipment and personnel required to operate your own space, visit us for cost-effective solutions. Let us handle your warehousing and transportation needs so that you can invest your capital back into your business. Through our experience and professionalism, we make it possible for you to focus your time and resources on your core strengths.

With more than 10 years of employment at Law on average, you can count on Law’s well-qualified and professional staff to be efficient, friendly and proactive working on your accounts.

Vendor Managed Inventory/Just-in-Time Inbound Logistics

Materials can be received at Law via rail service or trucks. Law can save you money and resources by helping your business adapt to seasonal needs or fluctuations in your products demands.

Hitchner Manurfacturing relies on Law for quick, next-day turnaround of materials from six (6) key suppliers.

The suppliers benefit by satisfying a critical customer, while giving them just-in-time delivery service to all of their other New England customers as well.
