Midwest Warehousing

Traditional “public warehousing” whereby we store a customer’s goods for a temporary time period is certainly a historical part of our Midwest business.  Of course we prefer a longer term relationship, but for the

large defense contractor that needed space to stage equipment over the course of a year, or the builder storing truckloads of material for a few months, we can always find room in our 1 million square feet somewhere. Seated in the midwest, our Louisville, Kentucky warehouse is the perfect location for all points direct.

RFID Supply Chain

Advance Distribution Services (ADS) is stepping up as a leading RFID Supply Chain Provider. In 2005, ADS implemented a RFID processing center (RPC) for a major wine and spirits company.  By teaming up with an experienced and knowledgeable hardware and software provider we have established a RPC for any company looking to adapt this new technology.  The RPC is designed to support your RFID needs and support the requirements of the Department of Defense, pharmaceutical companies and all mass retailers.
