A Fortune 100 food and beverage corporation selected Porter Logistics as its strategic partner for crucial logistics operations in Atlanta. The project encompassed daily transportation, import handling, raw material relabeling for traceability, and order fulfillment via LTL and FTL shipments. The client also needed to consolidate three underperforming third-party logistics (3PL) providers into a centralized system.

To address these challenges, Porter Logistics dispatched a project manager to the company's existing industrial space for two weeks to handle inventory reconciliation and establish processes for the entire project. Collaborating with the client's senior logistics and operations managers, Porter allocated 7,000 pallet positions and set up teams for receiving, labeling, and outbound order fulfillment.

Porter also passed rigorous internal audits, maintaining an AIB GMP score in the top 5% industry-wide, certifying the quality of their food programs. Utilizing specialized rooms for flammable materials and cold storage for temperature-sensitive products, Porter provided a comprehensive, one-stop solution for the client.

Porter Logistics played a key role in helping this food and beverage manufacturer achieve growth and scaling objectives while seamlessly integrating with existing operations. Consolidating multiple business segments previously spread across various 3PLs, each with different temperature requirements and standards, proved pivotal. This consolidation saved millions of USD in transportation costs and significantly reduced operational complexity, thereby increasing accuracy and on-time delivery rates. Porter Logistics' technology platform also allows the client to accurately track inventory levels in the Atlanta warehouse at all times and process inbound and outbound requests seamlessly with minimal manual intervention.
