Plan
The supply chain process begins with clearly understanding your constraints and designing your supply chain based on these variables.
When planning with Expeditors, you have access to a knowledge base of logistics industry experts that will assist with customs compliance, export restriction controls and risk management. Along with Tradewin® consulting and the Tradeflow® software package, you have the resources to help your team optimize the planning of your supply chain.
Expeditors provides:
- Product Management with Tradeflow® software

Source & Make
Sourcing decisions require you to have knowledgeable information on duties, quotas and landed costs. Production and inventory management then occurs and shipments are prepared.
We lend expertise when sorting out the sourcing variables, creating online bookings and preparing the necessary paperwork to expedite the start of the shipment cycle using Tradeflow®. We have the ability to consolidate cargo and manage your orders every step of the way, using our Order Management services. Our Distribution services teams help with vendor management inventory, seasonal capacity planning and in many other ways.

Book & Move
When shipments leave the dock, businesses require visibility and control of their freight. Clearing customs and transitioning between different modes of transit requires trust in your third party logistics provider.
Using our Tradeflow® Visibility Centre or our exp.o® track and trace system, we will guide you through the shipment movement, whether choosing our Ocean or Air Freight services, and whether you are shipping domestic or international. We will provide you with access to detailed information on your freight, including customs and cargo release.
Expeditors provides:
- Transportation services for Air Cargo, Ocean Cargo, Customs clearance, Cargo Insurance & Claims, Distribution, Project Cargo Services and Domestic Cargo Services
- Visibility and Shipment Management through Tradeflow®, ECMS and exp.o® online tracking
Deliver
As your shipments approach their destination, they may require in-transit assembly, product merge and warehouse delivery. This stage of the supply chain process also requires strict release measurements and data visibility.
Our Distribution Services experts have the facilities to handle order fulfillment and spare parts management at destination in anticipation of demand fluctuations. Continued use of Tradeflow® technology and Customs Services will provide document imaging, ensure simplified release, and allow you to analyze the data in your supply chain cycle.
