Lineage Logistics, LLC, a Colton, Calif.-based warehousing and logistics company sponsored by Bay Grove Capital LLC, San Francisco, announced a strategic partnership with BluJay Solutions, formerly Kewill, Chelmsford, Mass. The partnership designates Lineage as the exclusive third-party logistics provider to manage customers’ food and beverage supply chains using BluJay’s transportation management solution (TMS), formerly LeanTMS, powered by its Global Trade Network.

The strategic partnership enables food and beverage customers to outsource the management of their transportation network by leveraging BluJay’s TMS with Lineage’s diverse network of facilities that spans 609 million cubic feet of temperature-controlled capacity in more than 100 locations across North America. Lineage will also work to transition all of its current customers from existing transportation platforms to BluJay’s transportation management solution, using its robust capabilities to deliver increased value to their supply chains.

“Never before has a customer had the opportunity to leverage one of the nation’s largest facility networks with leading technology and a $12 billion transportation spend to maximize performance and realize dramatic cost savings,” says Greg Lehmkuhl, president and CEO of Lineage. “We are thrilled to partner with BluJay and create more integrated supply chain solutions for our customers through our expanded managed transportation capability. Our customers gain a strategic advantage through the unique level of supply chain intelligence only offered by our expanded ecosystem.”

“Combining our world-class TMS platform with the execution capability of the world’s fastest-growing, most dynamic cold chain logistics organization brings an unprecedented service offering to the marketplace,” says Doug Braun, chief executive officer of BluJay Solutions. “The strategic partnership between Lineage and BluJay is an exciting evolution for both of our organizations, and we look forward to delivering more innovative, collaborative supply chain solutions to customers worldwide.”
