The concept of ES3 began in OneSource, a division of C&S Wholesale Grocers, Inc.

ES3, LLC is now an independent company that provides innovative channel neutral services and solutions to manufacturers and retailers throughout the grocery industry. ES3 corporate offices are located in Keene, NH. The ES3 warehouses are in Harrisburg and York, PA.

ES3 co-locates multiple manufacturer inventories into a single location and delivers consolidated truckloads of product to customers within 24 hours of order placement. By synchronizing supply and demand, a retailer can receive a single case of product at the store level as cost effectively as a truckload delivery at the warehouse.

ES3 facilitates the collaboration of manufacturers and retailers in a best practices environment that redefines the costs of each activity in the supply chain. This enables the development of the most economical product flow-paths for the participants.

In this environment, medium and small volume manufacturers can attain or exceed the operational and transportation economies currently realized by only the largest consumer food products companies.
