In Memphis a package scan, a rail car and a genome all leave a data trail. Each needs an owner.

Memphis moves freight all night. Sort centers, warehouses and rail yards depend on handheld scanners, partner portals and thousands of seasonal workers. Across town, research teams share pediatric genomic data with scientists around the world. Our Memphis conversations start with access in both settings.

In Memphis we work with logistics, distribution and manufacturing firms and with research and health organizations.

For freight, the work is frontline workforce identity, shipper and carrier API credentials, and warehouse and telematics data pipelines. For research, it is controlled access to genomic and clinical data and audit trails that satisfy funders. We are based in Frisco, Texas, serve Memphis clients remotely and come in for workshops and launches.

There is no Cohash office in Memphis. Our nearest base is Frisco, Texas. We deliver Tennessee work remotely and fly in for site walks of sort floors and warehouses, design workshops and cutover nights.

What's specific about Memphis

Each figure comes from a public source, linked on the card.

01 85,000

The Greater Memphis Chamber's business climate page describes Memphis as having the busiest cargo airport in North America and five Class 1 railroads, and counts more than 85,000 logistics professionals and 44,000 manufacturing professionals in the region.

source ↗ 02 18 million

FedEx Corporation and Federal Express are both headquartered in Memphis. FedEx lists 700 aircraft and an average of nearly 18 million packages a day for Federal Express in Q1 of fiscal 2026.

source ↗ 03

Memphis International Airport calls itself one of the busiest cargo airports worldwide and the home of the FedEx World Hub.

source ↗ 04 190,100

Trade, transportation and utilities account for 190,100 of the Memphis TN-MS-AR metro's 657,400 nonfarm jobs in September 2026 (preliminary), close to three jobs in ten, according to BLS.

source ↗ 05

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, founded in Memphis in 1962, runs St. Jude Cloud, which provides pediatric genomic data and analysis tools to the global research community.

who and what

Who we work with in Memphis, and the rules they work under

industries

  1. Air cargo, parcel and freight

    Hub and sort operations run on shared handhelds, badge readers and contractor crews that swell for peak season. Sign-in has to take seconds, and access has to end the day a contract does. We tie frontline identity to the staffing feed and HR, set up passwordless sign-in on shared devices and remove orphaned accounts after each peak.

  2. Third-party logistics and distribution

    A Memphis warehouse may serve dozens of shippers, each connected by EDI, API keys and portal accounts. Those credentials outlive the contracts that created them. We inventory machine and partner credentials, attach each one to a customer contract and rotate them through a vault.

  3. Pediatric research and hospitals

    Genomic and clinical datasets are shared with outside researchers under data use agreements. The hard part is proving who downloaded what, and that access ended when the study did. We build controlled-access data platforms with approval workflows and audit logs that a research compliance office can export.

  4. Regional manufacturing

    Plants in the region connect production lines and quality systems to cloud analytics. We scope those service accounts, separate plant networks from the office and keep device and batch data traceable for quality audits.

regulations

  1. Tennessee breach notification, Tenn. Code Ann. §47-18-2107 ↗

    Tennessee sets a hard ceiling of 45 days from discovery for telling affected residents, with a delay allowed only when a law enforcement agency asks. Since the 2016 amendment, an employee who takes personal data and uses it unlawfully counts as an unauthorized person, so insider theft triggers notice too.

  2. Tennessee Information Protection Act (in force 1 July 2025) ↗

    Covers consumer data only, so worker and business contact data fall outside it. A shipper or retailer with over $25 million in revenue and data on 175,000 or more Tennesseans must honor access and deletion requests. The Attorney General enforces it after a 60-day cure notice, and courts can impose up to $7,500 per violation.

  3. NIH Genomic Data Sharing Policy ↗

    NIH expects funded investigators to share genomic data responsibly. Large-scale human genomic studies register in dbGaP and need an Institutional Certification, which brings controlled-access and data use obligations for the institution.

services

Most requested in Memphis

The services clients in Memphis ask us for most.

you are hereMemphis
01Peak season doubles our headcount for eight weeks. How do we keep identity under control?

Feed the staffing agency rosters into your identity platform as a separate worker type with a hard end date. Accounts then expire on their own, and a weekly report lists any that were extended. We set this up before peak, when there is still time to test it.

02Do Tennessee's privacy rights cover our warehouse employees?

The Tennessee Information Protection Act defines a consumer as a resident acting in a personal context, so employee and commercial data are outside it. Employee data still falls under the breach statute and other laws. Ask counsel how this applies to your workforce.

03Can you clean up the API keys we have issued to shippers over the years?

Yes. We collect keys from your gateway, EDI platform and code, match each to an active customer and revoke the rest on a schedule you agree with your account teams. New integrations move to scoped, expiring tokens.

04We share genomic data with outside labs. What do you build for that?

A request and approval workflow tied to your data use agreements, access that expires with the agreement, and download logs per dataset. We work alongside your IRB and research compliance staff, who keep the approval decisions.
