Challenge: In November 2013, Typhoon Haiyan killed over 6,200 Filipinos and left nearly 2,000,000 homeless. The need for humanitarian aid was instant, urgent and widespread. The chaos was compounded by the near-annihilation of most nearby ports, making it difficult for ships to dock and distribute life-saving supplies.
Challenge: A manufacturer/importer of brand-name dolls and other entertainment products needed help managing its highly seasonal business.

Challenge: A large importer/marketer of brand-name socks and other clothing needed a full service 3PL on the West Coast that could pick up product at the port, store and manage its 3,000-SKU inventory, pick and pack orders for large retailers, then ship in precise compliance with the retailers' routing guides.
