Our job is not just getting your shipments to worldwide logistics destinations, but minimizing taxes and duties wherever possible to expedite your product journey from established markets to new, emerging markets in Asia and Africa.
A world of capabilities, tailored to your budget
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. We tailor a menu of services to fit your needs, and can scale up or down to keep ahead of the pace of your business. Strategic worldwide logistics solutions we offer include:
- Supply chain management and assessment
- Project planning, scheduling and implementation
- Compliance with export regulations
- Federal customs clearance
- Legalization, consular and export documentation
- Insurance
- Management reporting
- Rate analysis and negotiation
- Inventory control
Cargo Status Tracking
International logistics is as much about expert guidance as it is about hands-on skill, supported by teams, systems and equipment. Other services we can provide include:
- Destination delivery
- Warehouse and transportation management
- Pick-up/drayage
- Export packing and crating
- Cargo receipt and inspection
- Bar coding, kitting, assembly and testing
- Rigging and heavy lifts
When we’re working with your assets, your timelines and your budget, it’s also crucial to work seamlessly with your systems, and give you full visibility into the process. Our web-based shipment tracking and highly-flexible Ecommerce/Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) capabilities offer you full transparency into your worldwide logistics activities.

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.
