Why Should You Work With A Calgary-Based 3PL?
Our Calgary-based 3PL provides a wide range of services that will help you run your business efficiently and effectively. Whether you're looking for warehouse space, eCommerce, 3PL Services, or transportation solutions, we've got you covered.
Why Calgary?
“The City of Calgary has a strong history in specialized and global logistics. This means that we have the talent, a mix of providers and servicers, diversified transportation and logistics infrastructure to meet almost any need, including global air access, continent-spanning railroad, and long and short distance trucking.”
Geographically, Calgary is the closest major city in Alberta before the US border. This is a crucial advantage for customers who need the size and operational flexibility of a large city 3PL and the ability to transport across the border.
Calgary is also well situated within Canada’s epicentre of transportation networks making it easy for 3PLs based here to access major highways, railyards, and airports. This proximity can help reduce transportation times and cost for your business as your final destination is never too far away.
Not Just Alberta
While we are located in Calgary Alberta, that doesn’t mean our services stop there. We pride ourselves in being a 3PL provider for all of Western Canada.

Thank you for an exceptionally well-led eCommerce build and launch. Your process organization and attention to detail, especially during the integration and testing, exceeded my expectations! But what I probably valued most, is it seemed you guys cared about the outcome almost as much as we did. Highly recommend team Routeique/Birkby!
– Dan Braun - Sr. eCommerce Manager Silver Hills Bakery
The best thing about the system is that it is real-time and cloud-based. You can see your inventory, orders and even order status real time. The system has POD's for each order shipped, Lot tracking.
Great experience and I know they are constantly improving and evolving their platform.
