Uline is a 5,000+ person distributor operating a high-volume warehouse network across North America, facing acute pressure on same-day shipping and data accuracy — two pain points visible in their active project list. Tech stack is legacy-heavy (AS/400, Oracle, VBA, RPA), with early adoption of OpenShift signaling a possible shift toward containerized operations. Hiring velocity is accelerating across sales, ops, and support, but engineering remains undersized relative to their stated need for process improvements and operational data visibility.
Notable leadership hires: Facilities Director, Customer Service Team Lead, Customer Service Lead, Director of Accounting, Sales Director
