Some organizations look to us for end-to-end international supply chain solutions, while others have a robust process in place but need to fill certain gaps.

- Export packing and crating
- Cargo receipt and inspection
- Bar coding, kitting, assembly and testing

High-Touch Global Logistics
High-touch logistics is about adding hands-on value—bringing detailed order fulfillment to shipping and transportation processes. One of the ways we apply special care is by supporting U.S. troops overseas, pulling boots of specific sizes and types from mass shipments to make sure they get to the right personnel in the right places. Prepping soldiers for unique climates and geographies is just one example where high-touch global logistics really makes a difference.
