Our history
WFS began operations in 1989 as Mid South Pick N Pack. The company was formed as a third party logistics company with office space, warehousing, transportation management, and IT support. The company would handle warehousing and inventory management for its clients and maintain inventory files that were interchanged with the client via high speed modem connectivity utilizing cutting edge technology. The company was one of the first in Nashville to utilize a wide area network (WAN) computer network to communicate with its clients.
Shortly after opening its doors the company found that the publishing industry was a huge market in the Nashville area as the publishing industry was a large part of the Nashville industrial base. After a few years of servicing the local market the company had expanded and had over sixty percent of its revenue coming from book and music publishers.
As the company was growing steadily, the publishers started asking management to consider expanding into sales representation for the client publishers and in 1992 the management decided to take the leap and created it’s book distribution and sales division. In order to make the expansion more viable, management purchased a children’s book publishing company with an established sales force and a staff of publishing experts to make sure the support offered to the publishers was consistent with their industry needs and past experiences.
Over time, during many transitions in the book and book selling industries, WFS has focused a lot of energy both into keeping up with those transitions and becoming experts in automated order fulfillment and support. This expansion has lead to the company becoming experts in data file management, information caging, E-commerce shopping cart order fulfillment support, printing and mailing large volumes of direct mail marketing materials for both B2B and B2C type applications and much, much more.
Today the company operates as WFS, LLC and APG Sales & Distribution, and depending on your company’s needs, both divisions are eager to help take your business to new heights.
