Global Furniture Retailer Needs Fast, Efficient Atlanta Transloading in North America
The client is a major retailer specializing in imported luxury furniture with a significant market share in North America. Their inventory includes high-end furnishings sourced from several countries in Europe and Asia. The company faced challenges in managing logistics costs, specifically in the transloading of their diverse product range from shipping containers to distribution trucks at major U.S. ports. They required a streamlined process to efficiently transfer their furniture from ocean containers directly into domestic trailers without storing the goods in a warehouse. This process needed to be swift to minimize port storage fees and ensure timely delivery to various destinations across the U.S. Additionally, the furniture needed careful handling to prevent damages and maintain high customer satisfaction

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 transload warehouse services without opening yourself up to 3rd party audits is a big red flag
