Who is this for?
Importers
Manage your inbound volumes and changing SKUs without capacity stress. Starting with our customs services, delivered with our own trucks and with frozen storage and value-added services in one place, we offer a one-stop-service solution. Together we agree on how inbound, document/quality checks, transportation and storage/VAS fit into your flow.
Retailers
Accommodate promotions and seasonal peaks with extra buffer and overflow capacity, without concessions. You get clear service agreements, escalation paths, and visibility into performance – so you can protect product availability and minimize rush resolutions.
Manufacturers
Create a stable bufferstock for production planning and delivery, with agreements around batch/lot, FEFO/FIFO and QA holds (where applicable). Our production area makes it possible to organize your value-added services close to the stock, so that you shorten lead time and reduce handling costs.
