INBOUND LOGISTICS

RAIL

Moving freight by rail can be significantly more cost effective than by truck. This is especially true for heavy, bulky items that need to travel long distances. This is especially true as fuel prices continue to rise.

ELM has a full service rail siding that is connected to the freight lines of all major rail carriers. We receive goods that have traveled by rail from as far away as Mexico, California, and Canada.

If you are currently shipping to the New York metro area by rail or are interested in exploring shipping by rail, let ELM help you.

VENDOR MANAGED INVENTORY

ELM Global Logistics is an ideal choice for manufacturers and retailers who are looking to maximize their space by storing materials off site. Parts and material suppliers with JIT and stocking programs utilize our services to allow inventory to be held without taking up important production space.

Retailers utilize our services to move their inventory in and out of our distribution center and manage demand planning more effectively. We can store and stage product for replenishment at our facility, often freeing up your own warehouse space or limited store rooms. We can compare actual demand against warehouse-on-hand, store-on-hand and in-transit inventory. When store or warehouse inventory falls below pre-determined levels, auto alerts are sent to you and your supplier to prompt replenishment.

CONSOLIDATION & KITTING

Once parts or materials are on site, ELM can kit multi-product orders or subassemblies at our site for complete shipment to the customer. For example, an entire order of 500 SKU's can be kitted and palletized for delivery to a local retail outlet all on one truck from a single location. This saves time and money at point of pack and receipt.
