Global Food Distributor Needs Satellite Distribution Services for Holiday Season
A multi-national food distributor with operations in North America needed Atlanta overflow warehouse space and satellite distribution services in Atlanta, GA for six months while scaling up for the holiday season. They needed inbound, outbound shipping and receiving services along with a robust QC (quality control process) to ensure goods arrive and depart in satisfactory condition. In addition, they wanted the ability for quick and nimble delivery services to their primary DC in the event certain products were needed urgently. Finally, real-time transparency into their inventory down to the individual SKU was a requirement.

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
We’re of the firm opinion that offering Atlanta inventory overflow warehouse services without opening yourself up to 3rd party audits is a big red flag
We subject ourselves to the following outside audits:
