Logistics Case Studies & Articles

A national sporting goods retailer does daily store replenishments in the morning to store locations to reduce stock outs and support sales growth. SalSon has won this retailer’s Carrier of the Year multiple times for its superior store delivery service.

After a major container logjam at the Port of NY/NJ, a nationwide arts and crafts retail chain had 500 containers at the port, with 6-figure demurrage charges. SalSon took bold action to solve the problem and today delivers 50-300 containers a week to the retailer’s DC.

This party goods retailer relies on SalSon for dray, transload and final store delivery up and down the East Coast. Many deliveries are to unmanned locations during overnight hours.

When drayage providers for this iconic fashion retailer could not keep pace with the volume of inbound containers, SalSon stepped in to eliminate the backlog.

A New York City-based forwarder, All-Ways Fording, was frustrated with the poor quality of logistics services around the Port of NY/NJ. But a relationship with SalSon Logistics, started in 1997, changed all that and the company has relied on SalSon ever since for CFS and CES services.

One of the world’s largest logistics companies needed reliable warehouse capacity adjacent to the port in Newark, NJ. For one of this company’s largest beverage customers, SalSon now runs a 150,000-square-foot operation about a mile from the port that includes value added services and final delivery.
