In the world of logistics, "who you know" has traditionally been the only way to get things done. Yet, as the global supply chain tightens and projects become more complex, the industry is reaching an inflection point.

That’s why today’s announcement is more than just a capital injection. José Gomez, founder of Warehouse Vendors, LLC, has officially entered into a strategic partnership with WareMatch as a member of its advisory board and VP of Strategy.

Gomez isn’t just another investor; he is a 20-year veteran of the supply chain industry. He started his career in the warehouse trenches, unloading containers and operating forklifts. Over the past two decades, navigating the complexities of Third-Party operations, Gomez has built his reputation as the man who can find a solution for any logistical nightmare.

Manual Expertise vs. Scalable Tech

For years, Gomez has been doing the heavy lifting manually, using deep industry intuition and a massive personal network to match customers with space. It’s a proven model, but in 2026, “manual” doesn’t scale. The partnership with WareMatch represents a "best of both worlds" evolution.

"After spending some time with Ryan and the WareMatch team, there was an immediate alignment of vision and clarity," says José Gomez, CEO of Warehouse Vendors, LLC. "WareMatch is bringing a decade of industry knowledge to life on a single platform through the use of cutting-edge technology. I’ve built a large book of business across both brands and 3PL operators, and I’m excited to bring these relationships onto the WareMatch platform. With WareMatch serving as the technology backbone behind my business model, our synergy is unmatched."

The Fuel for a Global Growth Engine

This partnership is a strategic strike aimed at one goal: Global Scale. By integrating Gomez’s vast network and operational know-how into the WareMatch product development cycle, we are ensuring that our tech doesn't just look good, but it works in the real world. This collaboration allows us to fine-tune our platform based on the actual pain points of warehouse operators and 3PLs, turning a smart tool into an indispensable industry standard.

If you are a warehouse operator or a 3PL, this means the platform you use isn’t being built by a distant tech company guessing at your needs, a major reason why most software fails in this space. Instead, WareMatch is built through the mind of a 20-year industry veteran, ensuring our tech is aligned with the realities of your facility, your fleet, and your margins. For the VC community, it’s a clear signal: WareMatch isn’t just building software; we’re building the future of the 3PL marketplace. This is a symbiotic feedback loop. WareMatch provides the digital infrastructure and technical agility; José Gomez provides the supply chain expertise and the keys to the kingdom.

The era of "manual-only" logistics is closing. The era of the Intelligent Warehouse is here.

Ryan Kalisky, Co-founder and CEO of WareMatch, sees this as a pivotal moment for the marketplace:

"Warehouse Vendors has built an exceptional reputation across the logistics industry. I’m very excited to work with their CEO, José, who will be joining the WareMatch advisory board with a primary focus on strategy. His expertise and relationships across brands, shippers, and 3PL operators will help accelerate our growth and increase deal flow across the WareMatch marketplace."
