What happens when your 3PL shares your space?

When warehouse space is shared, your inventory competes for room, labor, and operational attention with every other client in the building. Dedicated warehousing changes that. This is what improves when the space, process, and team are built around your operation alone.

Get the Solution →
 
Space that's yours, guaranteed
Your dedicated facility is configured for your volume — no competing for space during peak season because another client surged
 
Labor trained on your product, not whoever needs it
A dedicated team learns your product, your standards, and your exceptions — so your highest-value freight is always handled by your most familiar operators
 
Compliance documentation built around your requirements
Lot tracking, FIFO, and audit trails are designed specifically for your operation — not retrofitted to a shared process made to be general
 
A live window into your operation, not just a report
Dedicated warehousing means full visibility — you see what's actually happening with your inventory in real time, not a summary delivered after the fact
 
The longer you're here, the more efficient you get
Every year in a dedicated facility is a year of refined layout, optimized workflows, and WMS data that works for you — compounding value, not compounding switching costs
Our Contract Warehousing Capabilities

Built for your operation.
Not shared with anyone else.

Dedicated space, dedicated labor, dedicated technology — configured to your inventory profile and workflow, not a standard template.

Purpose Built Facilities

Facility configured around your operation — racking layout, dock access, material handling equipment, and security aligned to your inventory profile. Not shared with other customers.

WMS Technology
WMS & Technology

Real-time inventory visibility from inbound receipt through outbound shipment. Barcode scanning at every touch point. ERP integration and full EDI transaction set support.

Inventory Management
Inventory Management & Compliance

Lot tracking, FIFO, FEFO, expiration date controls, and full audit trails — configured to match your compliance requirements. AIB-certified for food and beverage, with additional certifications available based on your industry and regulatory needs.

Value Added Services
Value-Added Services & Fulfillment

Pick and pack, kitting and assembly, labeling, inbound logistics management, and outbound fulfillment coordination. Fewer vendors, fewer handoffs.

Fully Managed Operations
Fully Managed Operations

End-to-end warehouse management — staffing, technology, processes, and performance reporting. Your team gets a dedicated operating partner without carrying the day-to-day warehouse burden internally.

Integrated Logistics Network
Integrated Transportation

Asset-based transportation and warehousing under one roof — fewer handoffs, better service. When inventory needs to move, the same organization managing your facility can move it.

Make the Right Decision

Contract warehousing vs. public warehousing

Understanding which warehousing model fits your operation before you commit.

  Contract Warehousing Public Warehousing
Space Dedicated to your operation exclusively Shared with other customers
Labor Dedicated team, trained on your freight Shared labor pool with rotating assignments
Pricing Fixed monthly cost, more predictable Variable, more flexible
Compliance documentation Full audit trail with dedicated processes Generic processes and procedures
WMS visibility Real-time, full integration Basic, shared system access
Layout optimization Configured to your inventory and workflow Standard layout with less customization
SLA commitments Contractual, measured, reported Shared-network service levels
