In this episode of The New Warehouse Podcast, Kevin chats with Charles Ickes, CEO of Bergen Logistics and CloudX Systems. With a background that began in high-end dry cleaning and led to leadership roles in fashion logistics, Charles shares how his journey shaped Bergen’s approach to global 3PL services and warehouse technology. Now operating under the Elanders Group umbrella, Bergen Logistics has grown from a regional fashion-focused provider to a worldwide network of 19 fulfillment centers—all powered by a single WMS: CloudX.
Charles walks us through the benefits of owning their tech stack, how they’re helping brands navigate supply chain disruption, and why bonded warehousing and FTZs are becoming critical for fashion brands facing skyrocketing tariffs.
