Warehousing and Distribution to Fit Your Needs

We will work with your business to make a customized solution built for your specific needs. You need warehousing and distribution services that can successfully receive, store, and process your shipments. And, you need to be able to track your inventory in real time. We offer lean, agile solutions for your logistics challenges. All to keep your business running on time.

Warehousing Services

Our warehouse and logistics services will keep your shipments organized and ready for distribution. Our offerings include:

Our Cross Dock Warehouse Solution

Cross docking is a fast and efficient logistics service procedure. Instead of one truck making several stops to different locations to deliver products, goods are separated into trucks at one of our warehouses before going to the same location before delivery. This can save time and money on shipping. Because we are also flexible, we can cross dock a wide range of products.

Short Term Warehousing Services

There are many reasons why you may need short-term, on-demand warehousing for a limited period of time, including:

• Storing seasonal product
• Business expansion
• Construction/maintenance at current location
• Moving to a new location

Typically, short-term warehousing refers to storing shipments temporarily, for up to ninety days. Short-term warehousing is a practical solution to managing increases in demand without making a more long-term investment.

Long-Term Warehousing Services

Long-term warehousing can be a great way to expand your reach. There are many reasons why you may require warehousing for an extended amount of time, including:

• Consolidate distribution
• Reduce your transportation costs
• Streamline staffing needs

Long-term warehousing can be a great way to expand your reach while reducing your overhead. With more than 200 locations nationwide, we have a warehouse where you need it, no matter how long you need it. And our locations, including our home base in Chicago, can give you easier access to ship to markets nationwide.

Warehousing and Local Storage

Need warehousing close to your final destination? Our local storage options can provide the perfect solution. Whether you need to store bulk pallets or loose product, we can help. And, you can rest assured your shipments will be safe. We keep our warehouses securely monitored with camaras and alarms 24/7.

Temperature-Controlled Warehousing

Many perishable shipments require temperature-controlled logistics to avoid spoiling and distribution disruptions. For example, pharmaceuticals, produce, meat, and dairy are all items that need to be kept safe at specific temperatures. We’ll work with you to discover the optimal conditions for storing your items. Then, we’ll will store, handle, and transport your sensitive shipments in optimal conditions, whether you need items chilled, cooled, or frozen.

Flexible Warehousing Space

Flex space, as it is commonly known, is warehouse space that can also include some office or commercial space. There are some industries, like brewing, research and development, and certain construction businesses that utilize flex space.
