Happy belated New Year! I hope this month’s news letter finds you refreshed from the holiday break and optimistic about our year ahead. For this months theme I am going to focus on two very important trends in today’s business/economic landscape. One being streamlining and the economization of your distribution process, and two reducing your carbon foot print when it comes to this very time and oil intensive industry.

While still in the midst of economic slump companies are concerned more than ever with streamlining and economizing the way they source, manufacturer, and distribute their products. If not handled correctly distribution costs can run way beyond 10% or more of the total cost of the end product you produce and sell. Many of you whom I have spoken with over the years have been distributing your products from one location to the rest of the US and the world. You have become highly efficient at this model, and have considered using our robust supply chain network but have decided to stay with the old model a while longer.

For those of you who have trusted my supply chain solutions, and are now distributing products from 2 or more regional locations, we are seeing distribution cost savings of generally 25-50%. Not to mention the improved environmental impact, and improved lead times. By moving larger portions of product via pallet, partial truckload, full truckload, rail, or just having imported products shipped directly to the East Coast for your East Coast clients we are able to be much more efficient in the distribution of your goods. All said, if you have a growing opposite coast market or just would like to outsource your warehousing and distribution and focus on your core competencies there has never been a better time to let us put a proposal together for you.

Supply Chain Offering Includes:

• 9 regional warehouses and growing
• Full Pick and Pack Fulfillment
• Redistribution via UPS/Fedex and Freight regionally
• Reverse Supply Chain
• Online Inventory Management System for all locations
• We handle and update everything for you
• 1 line itemized bill for all freight and supply chain costs

At this point I believe we are the only company in the industry that offers such a wide array of freight, warehousing, and fulfillment options, coast to coast under one umbrella. Please contact me for more information and a cost proposal. I look forward to speaking with you!

Sincerely,

Jeremy
