Pallet Rack Systems Integrators in Missouri

Systems integrators design and build complete warehouse systems — not just rack, but conveyors, sortation, pick modules, AS/RS, WMS integration, and everything in between. If your project involves automation or complex material flow, a systems integrator is who pulls it all together. Missouri sits at the geographic and logistical center of the US. Kansas City and St. Louis are both major distribution hubs — KC anchors the western corridor (I-70, I-35) while St. Louis controls the eastern gateway (I-44, I-55, I-64). The state offers relatively low industrial real estate costs with strong transportation connectivity.

What Does a Systems Integrator Do?

Systems integrators engineer complete distribution and fulfillment solutions. They start with your operational requirements (throughput, SKU profile, order patterns) and design a system that may include pallet rack, conveyors, pick modules, automated storage, robotics, and software. They manage the project from concept through commissioning. The big ones (Dematic, Honeywell Intelligrated, Bastian Solutions, FORTNA) handle projects from $1M to $100M+.

When to Contact a Systems Integrator in Missouri

  • Your project involves automation (AS/RS, conveyors, robotics, pick-to-light)
  • You need a complete warehouse design — not just rack, but the entire material flow
  • You're building a new distribution center from scratch and want a turnkey solution
  • Your throughput requirements have outgrown what manual operations can handle
  • You need WMS/WCS integration as part of the project

Frequently Asked Questions

When does a project need a systems integrator vs. just a rack supplier?
If your project is rack-only (selective, drive-in, cantilever, etc.) and involves manual forklift operations, a supplier handles it fine. Once you add conveyors, automated storage, pick modules, or WMS integration, you need a systems integrator. The dividing line is complexity — if multiple subsystems need to work together, someone needs to engineer the whole thing.
How much does a systems integration project cost?
Wildly variable. A pick module with carton flow and conveyor might cost $500K-$2M. A full AS/RS installation runs $5M-$50M+. The cost depends on throughput, automation level, building constraints, and timeline. Any integrator who quotes you without a detailed analysis of your operation isn't being honest — or isn't very good.
How many systems integrators are in Missouri?
We currently list 1 systems integrators serving Missouri. Our directory grows regularly as we verify and add companies.
Do I need a permit for pallet rack in Missouri?
Most jurisdictions in Missouri require a building permit for rack installations over 6-8 feet tall. This typically requires stamped engineering drawings from a licensed PE. Check with your local building department — requirements vary by city and county.
Did you know?

Missouri is the only state with two Federal Reserve Banks (Kansas City and St. Louis). It's also one of the few states where you can build a distribution center that reaches 90% of the US population within two days by truck — which is why both cities have massive warehouse corridors.
