    VAUGHAN, ON, August 7, 2014 –   Think Logistics, a leading provider of retail and direct to consumer logistics services for organizations serving the North American market and the only Canadian third-party logistics provider utilizing state-of-the art “each pick” robotic fulfillment technology, is pleased to announce their newest client OxygenPlus.ca.

    OxygenPlus.ca, which launched May 14th, distributes Oxygen Canisters that contain 95% pure oxygen for recreational use.  The business is now experiencing daily sales; the  O+ products are listed through multiple Canadian Online Marketplaces and planning for In-Store sales later this year.

    “With a 500% increase in sales from June to July, there are more than enough reasons for an aggressive growth plan for Oxygen Plus’s products in this market.  The trend for healthy living and air quality concerns are spurring the increasing rate of consumption.  Think Logistics enabled a rapid implementation while adhering to regulatory requirements.  inGauge 360 has been able to position and market the O+ products effectively to realize this kind of growth”, explains Lauren Carlstrom, CMO for Oxygen Plus, Inc.

    With extensive experience serving retailers, wholesalers and end-consumers with a full featured warehouse management system, Think Logistics was able to rapidly implement a true multi-channel logistics solution for OxygenPlus.ca while ensuring compliance with applicable regulations pertaining to the safe handling, storage and transportation of compressed oxygen.  With fully automated IT integrations to organizations such as SHOP.CA, Shopify, CommerceHub and Amazon Marketplace, Think Logistics is ideally suited to help rapidly growing vendors scale in today’s Omni-channel retail environment.

    “There are many 3PL’s in Canada both big and small” Explains Stuart Pearson, VP Contract Logistics “but small 3PL’s are often challenged in their ability to scale and they often lack the sophisticated systems required to meet regulatory compliance and retailer inbound shipping requirements.  Conversely large 3PLs can’t make the economics work for small vendors, even those who are growing quickly” continues Pearson.   “With Think Logistics we’ve approach the whole model differently, by allowing our clients to leverage our investment in industry leading robotic automation and combining that with a flexible yet robust warehouse management system we’re able to provide our clients with a model that can scale from very small to very large while keeping costs in line throughout the process. Explains Pearson.
