Cofactr Brings AI-Powered Warehouse to West Coast

Cofactr, a source-to-pay and logistics platform for critical hardware manufacturers, has opened a new 10,000 sq. ft. warehouse in Long Beach, CA-its second facility alongside its New York operations. The company's coast-to-coast warehouses are purposefully designed to meet the precision required by hardware manufacturers to manage and store even their most critical components, from complete traceability of parts to temperature and humidity-controlled storage. Cofactr's physical facilities are an extension of the company's unified platform, providing an end-to-end solution so manufacturers can automate procurement and logistics processes, accelerate production and scale warehousing with total accuracy.

For manufacturers in critical industries, warehousing requires a level of precision and control that traditional facilities were not designed for. These companies' most critical components are often their most sensitive, with high-value parts like semiconductors and avionics requiring strict environmental controls, precise receiving protocols, and full traceability from intake to delivery. With thousands of parts to manage in this capacity, manufacturers often face misplaced and miscounted inventory-which can quickly result in lengthy production delays and millions of dollars in lost sales.

Cofactr has custom-engineered its two warehouses to meet the specialized warehousing needs of defense, aerospace, robotics and other critical hardware manufacturers. The facilities themselves-and along with proprietary software that powers them-were developed to close the agility and accuracy gaps traditional warehouses often cannot address. Cofactr fully owns and operates the facilities, managing everything from small, high-value components to larger, palletized materials and enabling manufacturers to:

• Help ensure quality of highly sensitive electronic and other parts. Cofactr's climate-controlled, ESD-safe storage operates under 24/7 surveillance with strict handling protocols and quality controls like X-ray and optical inspections.
• Track every component in real time. Cofactr's ReceiveAI, an AI-powered camera system, identifies each component as it arrives and monitors its movements through every stage of the warehouse. This traceability provides manufacturers with fully auditable data at the stock lot level, rather than the SKU level, resulting in manufacturers' ability to manage inventory at a more granular level.
• Never lose a part with high-precision operations. Cofactr's intake process verifies every component received-flagging discrepancies such as receiving 98 parts when 100 were ordered-and resolves them directly with the distributor. Plus, stock lot-level tracking and built-in checks at every stage-from receiving through fulfillment-add an extra layer of accuracy to help ensure nothing goes unaccounted for.
• Scale operations without losing visibility. Cofactr's integrated software and physical infrastructure are built to support complex, high-growth operations-helping manufacturers manage increasing inventory volumes and more intricate BOMs without losing visibility. For companies looking to apply similar practices internally, Cofactr's warehouse also serves as a working model for how to scale precision operations efficiently.
