GLEN MILLS, PA – May 11, 2020 – Pilot Freight Services (Pilot), a worldwide provider of transportation and logistics services, now has immediate availability in multi-client warehouses in Chicago, Columbus, Orlando and Salt Lake City to meet retailer and e-commerce product storage and forward staging needs. As a result of store closures, retailers have a growing need to warehouse unsold products as well as ship and introduce new seasonal goods. Pilot’s multi-client warehouse stations are strategically located to major population centers and position goods closer to customers.
Pilot’s multi-client warehouses enable clients to move product efficiently through the company’s extensive ground transportation network closer to retail locations where the goods will be sold as well as position e-commerce freight in advantageous locations to shorten home delivery time. Pilot operates eight multi-client warehouses throughout the country which offer client-focused flexible storage solutions and can accommodate 20 to 10,000 pallets or more without a minimum timeframe commitment. Pilot’s warehouse management system technology provides complete transparency for remote inventory control.
“We’re adapting Pilot’s existing services to meet our clients’ unique needs during this uncertain time. Our goal is to provide transparency and help generate cashflow faster by storing and staging our clients’ products closer to retailers and consumers,” explains John Hill, president and chief commercial officer.
As states begin to adjust restrictions over the coming weeks, retailers and e-commerce companies are shifting inventory to adapt to curbside pick-up, shifts in demand for seasonal products as well as up-ticks in home delivery for outdoor goods. Pilot’s warehousing and inventory management solutions provide tailored systems to ship goods to final destinations saving time and money while providing transparency every step of the way.
