The Transportation and Logistics Journey

The journey of products from the first to the last mile in the supply chain is a complex and vital process in the world of logistics and transportation. Here’s an overview of what this journey typically involves:

1. Inbound / Outbound Port Transportation: The journey typically begins with cargo transport services from an American port. This phase of port transportation includes the coordination and verification of cargo readiness, often involving checks for proper documentation and security measures.
2. Warehouse Transportation: Next, products are usually transported to commercial warehouse storage or distribution centers. These cross docking facility and storage 3PL facilities act as intermediaries, streamlining the transfer of products for efficient shipping, reducing storage time, and optimizing distribution processes.
3. Picking, Packing, and Custom Packaging: Once an order is confirmed, the products are carefully chosen from the inventory, skillfully packed, and expertly prepared for shipping, thanks to our top-notch pick and pack service. We also offer third party warehouse services to enhance your logistics capabilities.
4. Transportation to Local Distribution Centers: For B2B distribution, products are transported from a regional 3pl warehouse to local distribution centers or hubs, often using larger modes of transportation like trucks or trains that we help facilitate.
5. Last-Mile Delivery: For eCommerce and B2C distribution, the “last mile” refers to the final leg of the delivery process: taking the product to the customer’s doorstep. This is often the most expensive and time-consuming part of the journey. Our role in this supply chain challenge is to lower costs, increase visibility, and improve efficiency.
6. *Returns and Reverse Logistics: In cases where products need to be returned, there’s a reverse logistics fulfillment journey where the product goes from the customer back to the seller or a designated returns processing center.
