Industry Veteran Brings 14+ Years of Material Handling Automation Expertise to Drive Growth in Warehouse and Manufacturing Optimization & Systems Integration

WIXOM, MI, UNITED STATES, February 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — ISD – Integrated Systems Design — is pleased to announce the appointment of Tom Wood as Vice President of Sales. With more than 14 years of experience in material handling, automation, and industrial equipment, Tom Wood brings a strong blend of operational knowledge and strategic sales leadership to ISD’s executive team.

Tom Wood joins ISD following senior leadership roles at DQS – Solutions & Staffing and Fraza, where he led sales strategy, expanded market presence, and strengthened customer partnerships across multiple regions. Tom’s earlier career includes nearly a decade with Crown Lift Trucks, progressing through roles in parts, service coordination, account management, and sales leadership. He also served as Regional Sales Manager at Carolina Handling, overseeing multi‑state territories and driving sustained revenue growth.

“Tom’s appointment comes at a pivotal time for ISD,” said Tony Morgott, President of ISD – Integrated Systems Design. “We’re seeing unprecedented demand for warehouse automation as companies struggle with labor shortages, capacity constraints, and the need for operational agility. Tom brings what we need: technical understanding, proven sales leadership, and a genuine commitment to solving customer problems. His experience with automation technologies and fleet optimization will help us expand into new markets while delivering better outcomes for existing partners.”

This extensive background gives Tom Wood a deep understanding of warehouse operations, equipment lifecycle management, and customer‑focused solution design — all of which align directly with ISD’s mission to deliver high‑performance automation and material‑handling systems.

In his new role, Tom Wood will guide ISD’s national sales strategy, support expansion into new markets, and strengthen relationships with both existing and emerging partners.

Addressing Critical Industry Pain Points
Wood’s sales strategy will focus on the most pressing challenges facing warehouse and distribution operations today:
• Labor Shortages and Costs: Automation can reduce labor requirements by up to two-thirds on many projects. ISD’s solutions help companies overcome hiring difficulties and rising wage costs.
• Space Constraints: Automated storage systems can reduce floor space requirements by up to 85%. This allows companies to increase inventory capacity without facility expansion.
• Throughput and Capacity: As order volumes increase, manual systems become bottlenecks. ISD’s automation solutions dramatically increase picking speed and order accuracy.
• Operational Agility: Markets change quickly. ISD’s flexible, scalable solutions help companies adapt to shifting customer demands without major system overhauls.

OEM-Agnostic Approach Delivers Best-Fit Solutions
Unlike competitors who promote single-vendor solutions, ISD maintains an OEM-agnostic approach. This means Wood and the ISD sales team can recommend the best technology for each customer’s specific requirements. The company partners with leading material handling OEM manufacturers, many of which are members of the Material Handling Institute (MHI).

This approach ensures customers receive solutions based on performance data, ROI analysis, and operational fit—not vendor relationships or markup incentives. “I’m excited to join such an exceptional organization, backed by tremendous industry expertise and real operational firepower. ISD is perfectly positioned for accelerated growth, and I look forward to helping us expand into new markets while strengthening partnerships with both existing and future customers,” said Wood.
 
Expanding ISD’s Market Presence in Warehouse Automation
Wood’s appointment supports ISD’s strategic focus on several high-growth market segments:
• Ecommerce and Omnichannel Retail: Companies need faster order fulfillment, higher accuracy, and the ability to scale during peak seasons. ISD’s solutions reduce labor dependency while increasing throughput.
• Manufacturing and Assembly: Automotive, aerospace, and electronics manufacturers need just-in-time material flow and precise inventory control. ISD’s systems integration expertise ensures seamless operations.
• Third-Party Logistics (3PL): 3PL providers require flexible, scalable systems that can handle multiple clients and varying order profiles. ISD’s OptimalOps-Process™ delivers customized solutions that maximize ROI.
• Food and Beverage Distribution: Temperature-controlled environments demand specialized automation solutions. ISD has decades of experience designing systems for refrigerated and freezer facilities.

OptimalOps-Process™ Framework Guides Every Implementation
Wood will leverage ISD’s proprietary OptimalOps-Process™ throughout the sales cycle. This eight-step framework ensures every customer receives a solution tailored to their operational and business KPIs:
1. Objectives Definition: ISD works closely with customers to clearly define goals, constraints, and success metrics.
2. Data Analysis: Comprehensive operational data analysis identifies bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and improvement opportunities.
3. Strategic Planning: ISD develops detailed implementation roadmaps that minimize disruption and maximize ROI.
4. System Design: Engineering teams create customized solutions using the best available technologies.
5. Implementation: Project managers coordinate installation, integration, and testing.
6. Training and Support: ISD ensures customer teams can operate and maintain systems effectively.
7. Performance Monitoring: Ongoing analysis confirms systems meet or exceed performance targets.
8. Continuous Improvement: ISD partners with customers for long-term optimization and expansion.
This framework differentiates ISD from competitors who focus primarily on equipment sales rather than operational outcomes.

Company expands support for retail mobility dealer network

WESTMINSTER, MD, UNITED STATES, February 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — FR Conversions, a national leader in emergency and mobility vehicle innovation, today announced it has achieved certification under the National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association (NMEDA) Manufacturer Quality Assurance Program (MQAP), a nationally recognized program that sets rigorous standards for quality, safety and compliance in the mobility industry. With this approval, FR Conversions becomes an MQAP-recognized manufacturing partner for NMEDA members across its retail mobility product lines.

MQAP certification reflects FR Conversions’ documented quality systems, compliance with applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) and ongoing commitment to supporting NMEDA-certified dealers and the customers they serve. The program requires manufacturers to meet comprehensive criteria, including annual third-party audits, documented training programs, warranty and service network requirements, and demonstrated adherence to safety and quality best practices.

“For our retail mobility business, MQAP is a meaningful benchmark that exemplifies our commitment to being a dependable manufacturing partner as we support NMEDA dealers and the customers they serve nationwide,” said Anoop Prakash, Chief Executive Officer of FR Conversions. “This certification also reinforces the operational rigor and quality focus our teams bring to every vehicle we build.”
As part of its ongoing retail mobility strategy, FR Conversions is also announcing several new dealer-focused initiatives designed to simplify operations, improve access to inventory and capital and support long-term dealer growth, including:
• Stocking package programs for select mobility vehicles, enabling faster access to ready-to-sell inventory
• Floor plan financing options through participating finance partners to support dealer cash flow and flexibility
• FR Access, a centralized dealer portal providing real-time inventory visibility, streamlined warranty submissions and marketing resources
• FR Drive Rewards, an incentive program designed to strengthen dealer engagement and performance

“These new offerings were created based on direct feedback and conversations with our dealer network,” said Matt Swope, Vice President of Retail Mobility at FR Conversions. “MQAP certification complements this work by reinforcing the systems, consistency and accountability dealers need from a manufacturing partner. Together, the goal of these programs is to make it easier for NMEDA dealers to do business with FR and to grow their retail mobility business with confidence.”

MQAP certification builds on FR Conversions’ broader quality and compliance foundation, including its ISO 9001:2015 certified Quality Management System, Federal Transit Administration-approved Transit Vehicle Manufacturer (TVM) status, and Ford Pro Upfitter accreditation. These credentials reflect FR Conversions’ disciplined approach to manufacturing, regulatory compliance and continuous improvement across its mobility and specialty vehicle platforms.

FR Conversions will share more details about its MQAP certification and retail mobility initiatives at the 2026 NMEDA Annual Conference (exhibitor booth #209), taking place February 20–22 in Orlando, Florida.

Global transport leader delivers new Porsche 911 Cup cars for 2026 racing season

ATLANTA, GA, UNITED STATES, February 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — DSV – Global Transport and Logistics is now the Official Logistics Partner for Porsche Motorsport North America (PMNA) for the 2026 season. This strategic partnership leverages DSV’s extensive global network and precision logistics capabilities to ensure the safe, timely delivery of these high-performance race cars to North American teams.

DSV managed the transportation of brand-new Porsche 911 Cup (Type 992.2) race cars from Meuspath, Germany, to the United States for the upcoming Porsche Carrera Cup North America racing season. The complex logistical operation spans 4,482 miles, utilizing 21 shipping containers to transport 42 high-performance vehicles weighing a total of over 60 tons. DSV’s Finished Vehicle Competency Centers in Stuttgart and Atlanta coordinated the multimodal journey that includes specialized enclosed car carriers for road transport and dedicated vessel space for sea freight.

“We can’t thank DSV enough for their work to safely deliver our new Porsche 911 Cup race cars in the new year,” Volker Holzmeyer, President and CEO of Porsche Motorsport North America, said. “Aligning PMNA with DSV provides an opportunity, not only for us, but for our customers who race around the world.”

This partnership builds on the foundation established in August 2023 when DSV began working with PMNA. DSV’s specialized automotive expertise, dedicated motorsports teams bridging time zones between Germany and the United States, and commitment to zero-margin execution secured this expanded relationship. The partnership also includes DSV branding on all Porsche Carrera Cup North America race cars throughout the 2026 season.

“The precision and reliability required in motorsport logistics mirror the exact standards we bring to all our global transport operations,” said Sven Diefenbacher, Vice President, Automotive Americas at DSV. “This collaboration with Porsche Motorsport North America demonstrates our ability to deliver specialized logistics solutions for even the most demanding industries while expanding our presence in the high-performance automotive sector.”

As the 2026 racing season approaches, DSV stands ready to deliver the performance, precision, and reliability that both racing teams and global supply chains demand.

HAMERSVILLE, OH, UNITED STATES, February 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Blue Magnolias Trailers is being recognized for a higher expectation of what a custom trailer should be, where build quality, safety, and long-term reliability are being treated as the baseline rather than upgrades. From our home base in Hamersville, Ohio, trailers are being delivered to customers across the United States through a nationwide delivery process that is handled end to end so logistics are not left to chance.

A factory-direct model has been maintained so value can be protected without corners being cut. Trailers are being built through a direct relationship with the factory in Douglas, Georgia, and the middleman has been removed so pricing can stay competitive while craftsmanship is kept central. Enclosed trailers, food trailers, car haulers, and ATV trailers have been made available alongside fully custom builds, so the right fit is not forced into a one-size inventory choice.

A full-service approach has been established so each project can be supported from early planning through final delivery. Product consulting has been provided so the right size, layout, and equipment choices can be made with fewer costly revisions later. Design services have been built around practical workflow, where a trailer can be set up for real-world use rather than showroom looks. Fabrication has been completed with premium materials and careful attention to detail, and industry standards have been followed so durability and safety are not treated as optional.

For clients who need something quickly, in-stock trailers have been offered so timelines can be shortened without sacrificing build integrity. For clients who need a specialized layout or features, custom-built trailers have been designed around exact dimensions and functional requirements, with options for tailored features and interior or exterior customization so the trailer can be matched to the work it is expected to handle.

The company’s roots have been shaped by hands-on experience. Blue Magnolias Trailers was founded by John Ferguson after a food trailer was built for his own operation, and the demand that followed was answered by a shift into building for others. That same mindset has been carried into every build, where clients are being supported with straightforward guidance and trailers are being produced with the expectation that they will be depended on every day, not just on delivery day.
