Barrett Partners with UNIT AI Robotics
AI-guided automation now runs alongside Barrett's omnichannel fulfillment teams, giving high-growth apparel, footwear, and consumer brands a faster, leaner way to scale across Barrett's multi-node fulfillment network.
HOW UNIT AI ROBOTICS WORK
Automated Returns Matching
The predictive AI software analyzes inbound returns immediately. If a matching active order exists, the swarm-style robots isolate the item for immediate re-fulfillment, entirely bypassing traditional restock latency.
Intelligent Single-Item Consolidation
For slower-moving returned items, the software automatically aggregates individual products into optimized units based on criteria like SKU, specific brand, or condition grade.
Increased Efficiency
Robots store and retrieve each item instead of relying on manual picking.
Less Labor
Automation handles the repetitive work, so peak volume doesn't require a matching surge in temporary staff.
Room to Scale
The system is modular and designed to scale up easily, so capacity can expand with your order volume.
OUTBOUND FULFILLMENT
Automation built for Ecommerce
Barrett has partnered with UNIT AI to bring AI-powered automation and robotics into our multi-node returns and fulfillment operations. That means less dependence on manual labor, higher fulfillment metrics, and better use of warehouse space, with the speed and accuracy your customers expect. In partnership with UNIT AI, we are combining AI-powered warehouse automation, with our multi-node fulfillment network and purpose-built returns technology to improve the unit economics for our customers. This highly flexible automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS) is specifically engineered to manage high-velocity direct-to-consumer (D2C) e-commerce fulfillment and complex returns.

Small footprint, real throughput
Each unit is small enough to hold in one hand and deploys into as little as 500 square feet, so Barrett can add automation inside existing facilities instead of building new ones.
That matters for brands scaling into peak, a new channel, or a second fulfillment node: capacity comes online faster, and without the capital cost of a full automated storage and retrieval build-out.
REVERSE LOGISTICS
Fulfillment and Returns Processing that Scale
As order volume grows, most fulfillment models get more expensive per order: more labor, more space. Through UNIT AI, we combine AI-powered warehouse automation, a multi-node warehouse network and purpose-built returns technology, so your per-order costs hold steady as you grow, even at peak.
Returns don't have to be a cost center. Barrett's multi-node returns network allows brands the ability to process returns closer to your customers, which cuts return shipping costs and improves fill rates for those items most in demand. UNIT AI's system enables returns processing and order fulfillment from the same platform. Palm-sized robots automatically store and retrieve thousands of individual items inside a standalone cube, while AI software manages the inventory to optimize storage density and reduce order cycle time.
THE FULL STACK
A full reverse logistics stack, not a bolt-on
Barrett is pairing UNIT AI's automation with its existing partnerships with TwoBoxes and Loop Returns, giving apparel, footwear, and consumer product brands purpose-built returns technology layered on top of Barrett's fulfillment network.
