FAQ

Because we service a diverse set of industries, we also have a diverse set of capabilities not found in most general warehousing partners such as:

  • Direct rail access & outside centerbeam car access outside
  • Temperature controlled rooms (cooled & heated) 
  • Software we’ve developed in-house for greater efficiencies 
  • Flame rooms with foam suppression systems
  • GMP- and SQF-certified facilities as certified by the US Food & Drug administration (FDA), American Institute of Baking (AIB), and GFSI (Global Food Safety Initiative) 

We work to uphold the highest standards across all of our services and subject ourselves to the following outside audits:

  • GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) Food Grade audits via the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) and the American Institute of Baking (AIB). We achieved the top 5% of food grade warehouses nationally and excel in process adherence, facility quality, overall cleanliness, and robustness of our pest control program
  • HAZMAT Certifications via the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Alliance for Chemical Distribution (ACD), and Department of Transportation (DOT) 

In addition, we possess the Safe Quality Food certification (SQF) which meets the GFSI (Global Food Safety Initiative) standards.

Of course. We take delivery of imports from outside the US everyday and are well versed in the compliance needs across multiple verticals. We also can export manufactured goods from the United States across the globe on multiple methods of transportation including Air, Ocean, Rail, and Over the Road (OTR) freight.

We service manufacturers, retailers, brands, and direct sellers from a diverse set of industries including but not limited to:

We would be pleased to obtain competitive quotes on your behalf and coordinate all aspects of your warehousing and transportation operations.

We use the Extensiv 3PL system which equips us with EDI & API connections, eCommerce store integrations for quick implementations, and real-time inventory tracking. We’ve also developed in-house dock management software to book appointments, reduce dock congestion, and increase loading and unloading efficiency.

Our clients range from Fortune 10, among the largest organizations in the world, with 10,000+ allocated pallet spaces to smaller privately held companies with 200 pallets on hand. We’re open to hearing a growth story, but generally we’re not a good fit for younger companies in the sub-200 pallet range
