Retail
Retailers, banks, and chain restaurants spend about $2 billion per year on logistics to support new store openings, remodeling and promotional activities. Most companies manage the logistics support for openings and remodels separately from their traditional merchandise supply chain.
Problem is, these projects by nature tend to occur as intense spikes over and above normal business activities. Outsourcing the displays, racking, and fixtures that go into a store through a 3PL partner that offers specialized services can keep you on track and offer cross-supply chain visibility.
First Logistics offers you a facility network that can flex up or down as needed for short-term use and also provides supply chain specialized services such as kitting and light assembly. As a result, you can save money, manage more proactively, and reduce waste.
Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG)
CPG companies know that managing their supply chain efficiently will earn the trust and business of their customers. That’s why for many of them, First Logistics is their solution partner for all types of retail fulfillment. By warehousing with us, you pay only for the space and services you need, which means you can manage your volume surges in a cost-appropriate way.
We thoroughly understand the complex compliance requirements of major retail chains and provide a seamless and integrated specialized services solution, including EDI, Advance Ship Notices (ASN’s), kitting, specialty labeling, final packaging, routing guide compliance and freight management rules. We protect your company with chargeback avoidance measures aimed at proving compliance.
Direct Access to Management
Our goal is to help you quickly implement customized solutions without endless waits or red tape. Part of fulfilling this goal is enabling our customers to work directly with ownership who understand their challenges and can implement solutions fast. The other part is our cohesive team who have worked together successfully for years and who move forward instinctively.

Non-Saleable Goods

From promotional literature and catalogs to sales rep samples, First Logistics provides labeling, kitting and distribution services for retail and manufacturing companies, providing an avenue for items that may not flow through your normal supply chain.
