MANAGED WAREHOUSE OPERATIONS

& LOGISTICS SPECIALTIES

Warehouse Management

We provide customized operations with a wide range of size and complexity, and have expertise in highly-regulated industries and environments. With award-winning quality, safety and sustainability performance, CJ Logistics is an industry leader in performance optimization systems and practices.

Supply Chain Packaging

Our supply chain packaging solutions include in-network co-packing, production lines, a variety of repacking capabilities and specialized packaging services. Multiple locations across our network with dedicated production space provide supply chain packaging services. We build 14 million+ displays and special configurations annually. We have a broad view and grasp of our customers’ overall supply chain and of retail and end-customer requirements, unlike providers that specialize only in co-packing and packaging.

E-Commerce & Omnichannel

We support manufacturers and retailers across a growing number of channels. Managing fulfillment in the warehouse environment, we help customers realize cost savings, reduce product handling and test pilot programs.

We provide flexible fulfillment and distribution solutions that support manufacturers and retailers in delivering goods across a growing number of channels, connecting sales and supply chain strategies, and supporting e-Commerce growth. Specialized engineering standards for picking environments, material handling equipment and parcel optimization routing systems enable a wide array of options and scenarios that are tailored and adaptable.

Public Warehousing

Our public warehouse solutions provide flexibility for programs with conservative space requirements, pilot projects, overflow, start-ups, transition projects and seasonal fluctuations. Our “campus” approach allows for labor infusions when volume spikes occur, while the public warehousing model also provides the ability to tighten space and labor on a “use-only-what-you-need” basis as well.

Greenfield Warehouse Execution

For a Greenfield site, our comprehensive proprietary start-up process is adapted to meet the scope and complexity of the project. We have the leadership, experience and capabilities to design and implement a Greenfield solution from the ground up, in collaboration with our customer. We manage contractors, design, work with local regulatory agencies, ensure compliance, integrate systems and lead the recruitment of operations teams.

Foreign Trade Zones (FTZ)

We are well versed in handling deposits, withdrawals and weekly estimates, for both manufacturing and duty deferral FTZ programs. We utilize data interchanges and data uploads to streamline the process, resulting in fewer errors and lower costs.

Warehouse Engineering & Automation

Focused on meeting our customers’ needs through innovation, our Engineering function is responsible for solutions creation, implementation and continuous improvement as an operation matures. Our Engineers create optimal, efficient designs and develop dynamic standards to which employees are held accountable in our labor management program. As the customer profile and material handling requirements change, we continue to dynamically model and improve the environment for optimal process flow.

Transportation Management

Our transportation solutions include carrier procurement, carrier relationship management, load planning, shipment tracking and freight payment services, and can be integrated with other transportation solutions such as asset-based, freight forwarding and cross-border services. We also integrate beyond transportation with warehouse management and supply chain packaging solutions. Our integrated processes and technology provide insights and timely and accurate information.

Freight Forwarding

We manage the logistics of international shipments, from ordinary freight to special category freight, using a variety of shipping modes. We provide a full range of services to coordinate the international movement of shipments. With a multilingual North America team fluent in many languages such as English, Korean, Mandarin, Spanish, Polish and Laosian, our expertise and extensive global network ensure shipments are compliant with regulations and optimized for maximum efficiency.

Retail Consolidation & Requirements

We consolidate shipments from multiple shippers to retailers such as Sam’s Club, Target, Costco, Kroger, Giant Eagle and others. As an approved Walmart 3PL consolidator, our multi-vendor national consolidation program combines orders into full outbound truckloads and coordinates multiple pickups of inbound shipments. We have over 50 years of experience shipping to retailers, and we manage to meet retailers’ unique requirements, such as delivery windows, lead-times and labeling. Our customers benefit from consistent deliveries, hassle-free appointments, shorter transit times, advanced technology, dedicated customer service, freight savings and 24/7 online access to orders and inventory.

Supply Chain Consulting

We provide a variety of consulting services with expertise in supply chain analytics, network modeling, engineering, technology and operations. Our experience serving leading global companies across a wide variety of industries enables our expertise and knowledge of leading practices. We monitor the business environment to mitigate risk, predict change and provide opportunities to gain competitive advantage. Our practitioner advantage ensures feasible, achievable solutions that are actionable and that we stand behind.

Cross Border Transportation

With logistics networks and warehouses in the US, Canada and Mexico, we provide contract logistics services across bordering countries. In addition to warehousing, we provide truckload, less-than-truckload (LTL) and intermodal transportation between neighboring countries. We design optimal transportation models that are continuously evolving, paying close attention to the latest customs and traffic regulations as well as local road and traffic conditions.
