Do it Best is Expanding its Distribution Hub in Oregon

Do it Best has begun construction on a substantial expansion of their distribution center in Woodburn, Oregon, in order to support member growth along the West Coast.

According to the corporation, the multi-year project will increase the space by nearly 50% while also drastically increasing the organization’s efficiency and responsiveness with cutting-edge technology and equipment.

“Driving growth is central to our success,” Do it Best President and CEO Dan Starr stated.

“Together, we’ve been achieving that by selling more of the right products to our member-owners, helping them sell more of those products to their customers, and welcoming even more members to the Do it Best family. All of these initiatives have led to record sales and new member growth over the last several years.”

Do it Best has committed $100 million in infrastructure investments to serve its members’ needs in order to sustain that level of growth. A next-generation warehouse management system, a new distributed order management system, and a reduced core financials package are all part of the package.

“We’re building out our capacity within our warehouse network, beginning with our Woodburn distribution center. Warehousing technology has continually advanced and we’ve partnered with industry leaders to further enhance our operational excellence,” Tim Miller, Vice President of Logistics, explained.

Do it Best is also expanding work and office space for its workers at both the warehouse and their regional lumber office as part of the project, as the company prepares for additional expansion in hardlines, lumber, and building supplies.

“We’re committed to building and maintaining the facilities, equipment, and systems necessary to support all our members’ growth,” Miller added. “The Woodburn expansion is only one example of the investments we have underway to ensure we’re meeting their needs now and into the future.”
