End-to-end warehouse & distribution expertise

AI brings deep expertise to every facet of warehouse and distribution center management. It starts with facilities and real estate — beyond the 21 million sq. ft. of warehouse space we currently manage, AI operates over 1,000 facilities across our business.

This gives us scale, and the specialized knowledge that comes from operating at scale. Our in-house teams across real estate, labor management, and information systems work in concert to deliver seamless warehouse operations for our clients.

With over 20,000 associates in our organization today, AI is an employer of choice — placing great emphasis on the development of human capital, training, safety, and workforce productivity.
