For many businesses, turning to outside sources for certain processes makes more sense than attempting to manage them in-house. Third-party logistics (3PL) enable a company to outsource some or all of its distribution, warehousing and fulfillment services to gain advantages such as reducing costs, gaining flexibility and scalability and improving customer satisfaction.
EMO Trans can deliver the 3PL expertise your business needs to remain agile and competitive in today’s demanding business environment. We have the knowledge, resources and experience to meet all your order fulfillment and distribution requirements.

Trust us to provide the structure and flexibility you need to succeed in the modern marketplace.

Security
Are you experiencing issues with warehouse shrinkage or theft? Is too much of your inventory mysteriously disappearing? When you make us your 3PL brokerage firm, you’ll collaborate with a security-minded service provider that will protect your goods and minimize product losses.
We’ve instituted multiple robust security measures in our facilities. Well-trained guards are on the premises around the clock to closely monitor all warehouse activities. We’ve also installed surveillance cameras to record events for future reference if necessary. Electronic access control devices enable us to scan employee identification badges for an extra layer of protection.
Advanced EDI Capabilities
Is your business using a legacy system for processing transactions such as purchase orders, advanced shipment notices (ASN), invoices and payment instructions? Our EDI solutions enable you to automate these and other procedures and facilitate seamless data exchanges with all supply chain partners. We support all the leading EDI standards and communications protocols.
The benefits of implementing our EDI software include:
- Significantly reduced operating costs.
- Increased business cycle speeds without time delays associated with manual processes.
- Improved documentation accuracy due to the reduction of human errors.
- Enhanced operating efficiency.
- Increased transaction security.
Inventory Management and Control
Maintaining optimal inventory levels and storage capacity is crucial in any warehousing operation. Our 3PL freight services include innovative inventory control procedures that will help you avoid overspending on storage space and reduce the number of out-of-stocks. You’ll experience more accurate stock levels, enhanced demand forecasting and improved inventory decision-making capabilities.
You’ll also gain access to a level of actionable reporting data that significantly exceeds industry standards. You’ll get relevant, real-time information that boosts confidence in your inventory management procedures and improves business planning.
Inventory and Order Integration
Our advanced technological capabilities enable us to ingrate your order placement systems with the pick team in our facility, increasing speed and accuracy. You’ll receive real-time updates to bolster your inventory control processes. For added transparency, your customers will be able to track their shipments from when they leave our facility until they arrive at their docks.
Milestone Notifications
Do you have customers who require additional assurance regarding the status of their orders? Our milestone reporting feature lets you send automated emails that alert targeted recipients whenever a shipment passes a predetermined checkpoint in the delivery process. It’s one more way to build trust and give your customers more peace of mind.
