ABCO Systems is pleased to be presenting our Out of the Box Solutions product line.
Out of the Box Solutions is our entry level gateway to technology. In our incredibly fast changing world of distribution, we are at just the beginning. The truth is that retail distribution has evolved into e-commerce by only 10%. While that is a huge shift in any business model, it is clear that this is only the beginning.
If we are not beginning to evolve our own operations, we are quite literally going to be left behind. With the ever-increasing cost of real estate and the ever-rising cost of labor, the best way to stay competitive is to maximize our space and increase our productivity.
Of course, one incredible tool to do this is through Automation. The challenge of adding Automation clearly is that it is expensive.
That is where we come in…
ABCO Systems has been developing our Out of the Box Solutions product line. This line is designed to allow our customers the ability to take advantage of entry level Automated Solutions that are most commonly used in Distribution Centers around the country. And we have taken it one step further. We have put in all the time and effort already. We can (not-quite) literally take our solutions Out of the Box and implement them for you.
Because of this, this product line is less expensive, easier and quicker to install, and allows for a far faster ROI. It allows our customers to spend a relatively small sum, begin the process learning about Automated Solutions, and increase their accuracy and productivity all at once.
Or course, each install will be tailored to fit the very specific requirements of each customer. But the heavy lifting has already been done. These base Systems can be expanded to achieve even great efficiencies over time as you begin to reap the rewards of Automation.
Let’s take advantage of all that technology has to offer together. Call us today to start the process and check how our Out of the Box Solutions product line can help you. We will do a no cost analysis to determine which, if any, of this line works for you.
Below is our first offering in this product line. Look for some more emails in the next weeks for even more solutions.

In 2003 ABCO Systems was operating out of a warehouse that was about 3,000 square feet in Carlstadt, NJ. Our shop was destroyed once during Hurricane Irene, and then again during Hurricane Sandy. Moving was unavoidable. We left our beloved little shop for higher ground in Bloomfield, NJ. It was a scary time for us as we just about doubled our space.
After about 3 years in our current location, we needed more space so we rented the unit next door ultimately doubling again.
And now at the end of our current lease, I called our landlord to discuss options. We literally walked less than 5 minutes to what is to be our new home.
We just leased out 35k square feet of warehouse space in Bellville, NJ. The space comes with an acre and a half of secured outside, fenced in storage. We are local to the Meadowlands area and central to Edison and even Dayton so our shipping will always be fast and priced well.
On top of that, we are going to be setting up our entire facility to be an example of the different types of storage and logistics material handling solutions. We will have a showroom with the various products and solutions we provide. But more than that, our entire facility will act as a showroom, for our customers.
To store our own products, we will be setting up a standard aisle Pallet Rack area, a VNA (Very Narrow Aisle) area, Push-Back Rack, Carton Flow Rack, Drive-In Rack, Cantilever Rack and even an area of Garment on Hanger (GOH). We will have different types of lift trucks and all sorts of safety barriers on display in our real world working environment.
Along with a typical showroom highlighting items such as our mezzanines, pick modules and lift gates, our entire facility will be a real time working showroom that highlights the various options our customers have. With just one visit to the new ABCO Systems facility, you will be able to determine the best solutions for your specific needs based on your environment.
We will also be stocking a lot more material to take care of our customers faster. From wire decks, to safety guard rails, to pallet rack protectors, we will have many of the most common Distribution Center items that are typically needed, and we will have them in stock.
In conclusion, I would like to offer endless thanks to our loyal customer base for helping us to grow and evolve into the organization we are today.
We expect the move to take place in June. More details about moving, and how we can be even more effective in servicing our customers is coming soon.
