Expeditors

Expeditors was hired by a manufacturing company to manage their logistics and warehouse operations. The company's director of supply chain management sought out Expeditors to oversee site-to-site warehouse transactions, book vessels, and ensure the transportation of suppliers' containers to the port. Additionally, Expeditors was responsible for maintaining records of all transactions, which proved beneficial for the company's internal processes and operational guidelines. The company also relied on Expeditors for handling certain chemicals that required specific equipment and controlled temperatures. The project began in August 2008 and the company invested around $500,000 per year for their services. Initially, the partnership focused on sea freight services, but has since expanded to include air freight as well. The company was pleased with the services provided by Expeditors, noting the joint planning between suppliers and the Expeditors team as a particularly beneficial aspect of the partnership.
