Today, in a move fueled by the necessary trend of supply chain diversification amongst shippers, WarehouseQuote announces the launch of its national Transloading Network.
“With the increased market volatility and congestion at ports, more companies are including transloading as a vital piece of their supply chain operation. The biggest challenge our customers are seeing in addition to capacity is the ability to provide clear visibility into inventory levels at all national ports. That's how we knew we were ready to fill in the gaps. With capacity on each coast supported by our proprietary Warehouse Management System, customers are able to see their transload in near real-time whether they are in Los Angeles or Baltimore.” - Hailey Schuler, Transloading Lead at WarehouseQuote
While transloading historically has been leveraged to expedite international cargo shipments, it has become a common practice for shippers fulfilling orders to their final destination due to limited availability to move shipments inland via rail. Though the practice has been used as an occasional tactic, it has never so often been considered central to a supply chain’s strategy until now. This has left an increased demand for transloading and an immediate need for facilities and networks capable of connecting companies to those spaces.
“In many ways, WarehouseQuote was already positioned to offer a transloading program to our customers,” said Schuler. “We are in the business of creating agile and tailored solutions for our customers so as more companies are opting to transload, we are already positioned to help. Whether WarehouseQuote customers are needing a multi-market national fulfillment network or just having trouble finding additional transloading capacity on the West Coast, we are able to offer support.”
WarehouseQuote’s transloading platform offers flexible warehousing capacity in key port markets, allowing businesses to execute transloading projects across the U.S. This is possible due to their established warehouse network, making it a key advantage for those looking to increase their transloading capacity. Customers are already leveraging the network to increase throughput and improve delivery times.
