Warehousing Services Connected to Transportation

3PL warehousing and distribution center with racked inventory

Storage + transportation

Storage and trucks under one roof — so your freight only changes hands once.

Ship Smart Solutions provides warehousing services that connect directly to our own trucks, so your product moves from storage to delivery through one accountable provider instead of a warehouse handing off to a separate carrier. From 3PL warehousing and cold storage to cross-docking, pick-and-pack, and order fulfillment, we manage the space and the transportation together — which means fewer handoffs, tighter timing, and one team answering for your inventory.

  • One accountable provider

    Storage, fulfillment, transportation, and delivery coordinated through one team.

  • Cold-chain connection

    Temperature-controlled storage connects directly to reefer transportation.

  • Order fulfillment

    Inventory, pick-and-pack, and outbound dispatch aligned to your order flow.

  • Nationwide distribution

    A central Midwest position supports regional replenishment and 48-state reach.

The connected-operation difference

Why Storage and Transportation Belong Together

Many shippers manage a warehouse and carrier as separate vendors and absorb the delay, handoffs, and unclear responsibility between them. Ship Smart coordinates storage and transportation as one operating plan.

Separate-vendor model

The warehouse and carrier operate as separate handoffs.

  • Inventory and transportation managed by different teams
  • Additional coordination before every outbound move
  • Cold-chain responsibility split across providers
  • Delivery and inventory questions go to different contacts
Ship Smart model

Storage and company-operated transportation work as one plan.

  • Product moves from our dock to coordinated truck capacity
  • The storage team and transportation team align timing
  • Cold storage connects directly to reefer movement
  • One accountable team supports inventory and delivery

FAQ

Warehousing & Fulfillment FAQs

What warehousing services does Ship Smart Solutions offer?

3PL warehousing, cold storage and refrigerated warehousing, cross-docking, pick-and-pack, order fulfillment, inventory management, and nationwide distribution connected directly to our transportation operation.

What does it mean that warehousing connects to your trucks?

Storage and transportation are managed by one provider, so product can move from the warehouse to company-operated trucks in a single coordinated handoff instead of being passed to a separate carrier.

Do you offer cold storage and refrigerated warehousing?

Yes. Temperature-controlled storage connects to reefer transportation, supporting a coordinated cold chain from storage through delivery.

What is cross-docking?

Do you handle e-commerce fulfillment?

Yes. Pick-and-pack and order fulfillment are available for e-commerce and B2B channels, including retail replenishment and marketplace order support.

Do you provide inventory management?

Yes. Inventory management services include inventory counts and reporting so shippers can understand what is on hand and what is moving through the operation.
