TFS, An OnPoint Group Company Creates New Racking & Automation Division

TFS, an OnPoint Company, the first brand independent fleet management organization providing turnkey services to Fortune 100 and large manufacturing, retail and distribution companies in North America, has announced the creation of a new division dedicated to racking and automation. Aligning TFS’s decades of expertise optimizing material handling equipment fleets with a shifting market landscape demanding ever greater delivery speed, product variability and lower prices, TFS has created a new dedicated business division named TFS Racking & Automation Division. The division’s goal is to help customers address their space, flexibility and automation needs.

“Ryan Boyd’s appointment formalizes and commits additional resources to what TFS has been doing for years—solving customers' space and productivity issues with racking and automation solutions. The move towards ecommerce and omnichannel has driven increased demand from our customer base for these services,” said Michael Quimby, TFS Chief Operating Officer.


“The last two years have accelerated the ecommerce revolution. The customer experience is being dictated more and more by warehouse capabilities rather than the retail experience. TFS is helping distributors and manufacturers compete with the ecommerce giants of our time by designing and implementing roadmaps that optimize current facilities and move them to full automation over time,” said Ryan Boyd, VP of the TFS Racking & Automation Division.

Through better fleet management, TFS delivers life cycle cost savings in excess of 15% through the management of customers’ material handling equipment. TFS experts perform onsite analysis and improve equipment systems across customer locations, delivering data-driven solutions and total control to the most unmanageable assets in a customer’s facility: their mobile equipment.

About TFS:
TFS, an OnPoint Group Company, works with some of the largest manufacturers and distributors across North America, helping them incorporate operational improvements to support productivity, safety and cost savings. As the leading provider of brand-independent, turkey material handling and fleet management services, TFS’ team of experienced analysts leverage proprietary tools and a custom technology platform to consistently generate significant improvements for all kinds of facilities. From asset tagging and tracking, to entire material handling system management, to the GuaranteedFLEET® program with fixed cost savings, TFS works to benefit customers seeking total control of their material handling equipment and processes.

Chicago, IL, October 1, 2024 - Hub International Limited (HUB), a leading global insurance brokerage and financial services firm, announced today an exclusive referral and broker program partnership throughout the U.S., Canada and Mexico with MAS Seguros, the largest trucking insurance broker in Mexico. The partnership is a response to Mexico’s growing influence in the global economy and a reflection of HUB’s and MAS Seguros’ commitment to expanding its capabilities to better serve clients doing business throughout North America.

Due to changing global political relationships and policies*, there has been a significant move for manufacturing operations to Mexico, which comes with increased risk and insurance challenges when transporting goods cross-border. Organizations face regulatory compliance issues, crime, product damage, catastrophic weather events and accidents. Additionally, more transportation firms from Mexico are moving to the U.S. As a result, there is an emerging transportation and logistics need to manage risk and insure freight, property and assets while transporting goods into Mexico for manufacturing and then back to the U.S. and Canada.
