MacGregor Announces Strategic Partnership with Swisslog NA

MacGregor Partners, LLC a leading supply chain software and implementation consultancy, announced today a strategic partnership with Swisslog North America, a leader in logistics automation and robotics solutions.

Jason Ziegler, President and Managing Partner of MacGregor Partners stated, “We are excited to partner with an industry leader like Swisslog and share the combined vision of a strategic partnership, beyond the traditional staff augmentation models that have historically limited the value in implementation and consulting vendor partnerships within the supply chain industry. Combining MacGregor’s top-tier consulting resources and our extensive implementation experience with Swisslog’s existing solutions and capabilities, we created a strong partnership that is the foundation for future industry-leading collaborations that we see our clients demanding, as they look for full-service supply chain firms to partner with.”

Headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina with development and customer-service teams in Milwaukee, WI, MacGregor Partners provides solution consulting and implementation services in the Warehouse Management and Warehouse Execution space. In addition to its core consulting services, MacGregor has added strategic consulting aimed at helping its customers deliver strategic supply chain transformation programs against the organizations long-term vision; MGP also developed cloud-based software solutions including analytics and document management software catered to the supply chain market.

Matt Toburen, VP of Distribution Solutions and Innovation, will head up the Swisslog partnership for MacGregor. Toburen joined MGP in spring of 2017 and brings a balance of customer facing experience and deep industry knowledge, having delivered analytics and IT consulting services for multiple customers in the logistics space. As head of technology of the world’s largest arts and crafts wholesale distributor, Matt led them through a holistic technology transformation, including a WMS implementation and a state-of-the-art order fulfillment system designed to better serve their omni-channel customers and compete against the “Amazon” effect.

“Matt possesses an approach and background that makes him ideal for managing this partnership for MacGregor. Having sat on both sides of the table as a customer and vendor, he is uniquely positioned to ensure the mutual success of the partnership, both from an execution and forward-thinking perspective,” said Casey Winans, Executive Vice President of Client Services for MacGregor Partners.

“This is an exciting partnership for MacGregor as it expands our offerings across the distribution landscape and provides Swisslog with an implementation partner that possesses domain knowledge, software and development expertise, and a track record of successful implementations. We are excited to bring MacGregor’s supply chain and software expertise to the table to help support such a strong player in the industry, Swisslog, as they experience tremendous growth and success in their industry,” said Toburen. “As the industry continues to look for innovative ways to drive down cost and reliance on a shrinking labor market, this partnership positions MacGregor to help current and future customers leverage the automation technology and solutions that Swisslog has available.”
