Logistics' resources, technology, and infrastructure are particularly suited to the hospitality industry.

Many well-known hotel brands, purchasing companies, and installers have contracted for transportation management, warehousing, and installation within the United States and aboard. The customer receives outstanding value, tremendous flexibility, and total simplicity.

Logistics' personnel have been specifically hired and trained to create a rich expertise in this unique and complicated industry. Tools, procedures, and methodologies have been developed and refined to assure the best-in-class quality available in the market today. Most assuredly, warehouses are located in the proximity of any new construction or renovation site of a hotel, restaurant, assisted living facility, hospital, model home, resort, or furnished condominium location in the United States, and most of the world. The technology facilitates seamless visibility to purchase order, item, and tag number information anywhere in the supply chain.

Logistics has also applied its considerable resources, technology, and infrastructure to support the retail industry. Not to support merchandise distribution, but controlling its assets, props, and merchandising equipment. Logistics has managed projects for the majority of the top 100 retailers in the United States. Many well-known retail brands and their fixture manufacturers rely on us for support on rollouts, extraction with fixture disposal, and redeployment programs. Logistics also uses its warehouse network to provide storage capacity for local store flexibility.

Personnel have been trained and are experienced in handling the large volumes of activities required to execute hundreds of truckloads to thousands of retail stores with a multi-week timeframe. The importance of delivery before and after store hours to avoid disruption is always understood, as well as the critical nature of have holiday set-ups in place at the same time in all the stores on a defined schedule.

Tools, procedures, and methodologies have been developed and refined to assure the best-in-class quality available in the market today.

Return to Logistics Specialty Segments

The electronics business segment includes office products (such as copiers, faxes, and personal computers), medical equipment, computer equipment of all types, vending machines, dispensing machines, such as automatic teller machines (ATMs), telecommunications equipment, and a variety of other electrical and electronic based products. Most electronics equipment requires inside delivery and placement. Logistics' distribution agent network is ideal for this type of product because all the local trucks have lift-gates and are staffed with two uniformed professional crewmembers trained to handle sensitive electronic equipment.

Logistics' provides transportation management, warehouse services including inventory control and order fulfillment, and light installation for many Fortune 500 electronics manufacturers. When the product does not require technical installation, we will use agent local delivery drivers to provide installation. Many agents provide Office and Industrial (O&I) services so the agent personnel know how to install and de-install personal computers, faxes, and common office products.

Several of Logistics' network agents provide copier and fax distribution for local dealers or national copier customers as well. Logistics leverages this expertise to offer national copier storage, inventory, order fulfillment, delivery, pre-installation/configuration, and site installation services. The customer can be confident that these services are provided competently so technicians are not required and can be free to provide repair or field service work to generate additional customer revenue.

Reverse logistics is a significant subset of the electronics segment. Technology changes very rapidly in all the areas described above. As products are replaced, old products must be extracted and discarded. Approximately 50% of the states in the United States regulate electronics disposal in local landfills. These electronics must be recycled, reclaimed, or reconditioned.

Logistics offers a total solution from the origin inside location through total liquidation of any electronic asset. Logistics has several customers that specialize in providing all aspects of the environmentally compliant electronics processing. We provide tracking at the model and serial number level, web visibility to shipment activity, and feedback on product disposition (i.e. what destination processes that type of waste) with a settlement statement from the recycler or remarketing partner.
