3PL Services – One Company Handles It All
Asset-based single-source providers take care of all aspects of logistics management. As your trusted partner, Approved is committed to providing innovative service that allows us to:
- Reliably scale and customize your processes from beginning to end – a significant advantage when it comes to controlling inventory costs and fulfilling orders at the right time.
- Accurately estimate your costs up front, from ocean freight shipping to warehousing and delivery. This gives you the ability to forecast and plan more efficiently.

The staff experts at Approved synchronize all efforts across our network of assets and media: warehouse spaces, transportation, and storage equipment, and digital tracking apps and tools.
- Efficiently move, store, and deliver your products in the U.S., Hawaii, and Guam using our assets, and coordinate logistics with our global sea, land and air freight shipping and consolidation service partners.

Digital Technology – Actionable Data in Real Time
Regardless of the distance between you and your shipment, you should know, in real-time, its location and status – whether it's on land, in the air, or at sea. For retailers, digital tracking and tracing of shipments in real time means they can count on meeting consumers' expectations for product availability.
Approved continues to adopt the power of digital technologies in improving supply-chain operations. Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) systems and online tracking tools give you access to notifications throughout your product’s journey.
We also use digital technology to continually improve our job performance, quality assurance processes, and employee safety. Monitoring and transmitting equipment metrics to improve energy efficiency, using smartphones to communicate essential information throughout the workplace, and tracking quality standards help us maintain our commitment to excellence in customer service across the board.
