Logistics For International Trade
Get Your Products On Time
A business exchanges goods and services for money. Logistics is the path through which the transactions are completed. A transaction can take place when goods are moved in bulk or one at a time. The lifeblood of a business is logistics. Without it, there would be no transactions and no profits. A business can achieve its objectives only if the goods and services are moving smoothly from one location to another. However, logistics requires more than just the flow of goods and services.
A logistics professional will also need to address the complex problem of network restructuring. Factors affecting this restructuring include changing demand, technology and product innovation, outsourcing opportunities, and the availability of ICT supporting systems. The first task in any network restructuring project is to establish an efficient inventory management system. Once this is complete, the second step is to define fulfillment processes. A streamlined process will consolidate the entire logistics process.

Manufacturing
With relationships and access to top of the line factories in both North America and across Asia, we assist you in finding the right manufacturers with the ability to mass produce your products while taking quality and budget into consideration.
Product Sourcing & Private Label
Is there an existing product that you would like to mass produce in your label? We work with mid to large sized companies in sourcing product manufacturers willing and able to produce most products. The sourcing process includes finding reputable manufacturers and requesting samples, MOQ’s, lead time information and pricing which are all key elements in helping our customers decide which manufacturer is right for their project.
Quality Control & Inspections
One of the most important parts of the production process is ensuring Quality Control during the various phases of the products manufacturing. We work with the factory in the initial phase to clearly outline the standards of which you expect and also follow up once production begins to ensure that the standards are being held up. Doing a final inspection before goods get shipped out of the factory can save a lot of headache, time and money. We provide a final inspection of goods prior to any products leaving the factory and communicate the details with our customers throughout the process.
