Our services
Six modular disciplines — one spine of milestones, SOPs, and recovery plays you can see in a boardroom without translation layers.
Air freight
When velocity is a constraint, not a nice-to-have, air is the only honest answer. ShipViaUS pairs airline allocations with a customs pre-clearance model that does not require your operations team to become amateur brokers overnight.
We run uplift risk like a product: alternate airports, rebooking levers, and a communications cadence that keeps customers informed without flooding them. Your planners see fewer panicked side threads, and your executives see a cleaner recovery story in QBRs.
Security programs for high value cargo are not bolt-ons. They are integrated into the booking path so chain-of-custody does not break when a lane re-routes because of weather or politics.
The outcome is a tight loop where air freight is not a lottery ticket, but a governed mode with a governed exception budget. That is how ShipViaUS treats time-critical work.
We measure ourselves on time-to-release as much as time-to-fly, because a fast plane with a slow file is a slow shipment.
- Time-definite & economy programs with lane-specific SLAs
- Dangerous goods, screening, and export compliance orchestration
- Ground sync with dray, truck, and warehouse teams on one timeline
Ocean freight
Ocean is where you win or quietly lose on landed cost. Our booking discipline protects rolling schedules, keeps demurrage risk legible, and makes sure dray at destination is not a surprise variable that erases a quarter of savings.
FCL and LCL programs are governed by the same event spine: booking amendments, transloads, and decons that reconcile to milestones your finance team can model without heroic assumptions.
We align insurance and incoterms with your working capital reality so when carriers shift capacity or a port chokes, you are not renegotiating the meaning of a landed number under pressure.
The illustration beside this block is a deliberate metaphor: waves are predictable chaos if you have hydrodynamic respect — the same is true of global ocean markets.
ShipViaUS puts experienced operators in the room when allocation decisions happen, not after a roll turns into a fire drill.
- Deep-sea, short-sea, and feeder program management
- Roll / recovery communications with clear owner and ETA deltas
- Decons, transloads, and bonded moves where the lane requires it
Road freight
Truck capacity is a relationship business — and a telemetry business. ShipViaUS contracts vetted partners, integrates ELD milestones that mean something, and de-risks idling at borders with documentation that does not look improvised under inspection.
Milk runs, dedicated, and intermodal are handled with the same program rigor. If the ramp schedule slips, the plan updates before your customer hears about it in the wild.
Project freight and heavy-lift are available with permit choreography and escort management — the sort of unglamorous work that keeps oversized cargo from becoming oversized liability.
The perspective lines in the art beside this text are on purpose. Road is vanishing point logistics: a thousand small alignments, not a single magic lever.
We report truthfully when weather, hours-of-service, or port congestion will consume slack — and we tell you in time to adjust promise dates.
- FTL, LTL, dedicated, and cross-border programs
- ELD-integrated location with geofence milestones you can plan against
- Intermodal dray to rail and short-sea as lane economics dictate
Warehousing
Storage is not square footage. It is the tempo of your inventory. ShipViaUS runs nodes with SOPs that are consistent enough to pass audits, flexible enough to support launches, and explicit enough to stop shrink from becoming folklore.
Value-added work — kitting, labeling, QA holds — is documented in work instructions your floor and finance teams can reference without reconstructing a heroic tale from a spreadsheet.
E-commerce and B2B share inventory truth, so you do not sell air or buy panic. The WMS handshakes to your OMS/ERP are designed to keep ATP defensible, not “directionally right.”
The isometric grid art is a nod to the reality of the warehouse: three dimensions of constraint — cube, labor, and time — in constant negotiation.
We scale surge with you when seasons spike, and we engineer down safely when the wave passes so carrying cost does not become a hidden tax.
- Multi-node network with cycle counting & lot control
- Cross-dock, transload, and e-com fulfillment in one playbooks library
- Returns, rework, and recall pathways that protect brand promise
Customs brokerage
If your HS codes are a negotiation between departments, you are already late. Our brokers work with your engineering and trade teams to land classifications that are defensible, not just expedient, because duty surprises are where margin quietly dies at scale.
Filings, partner government agency steps, and bond strategies are part of a documented chain your legal team can trace without assembling a file from email archaeology.
When regulations shift, we do not just forward links — we translate impact into lead times and cost deltas your purchasing team can act on before the next container books.
The stamp motion in the artwork is a reminder: the release you want is a combination of the right data at the right time, not a louder phone call to a port window.
We handle post-entry corrections and reconciliation with the same discipline as first-pass filings, because the hidden drag of informal fixes becomes expensive at volume.
- Entry management, bond strategy, and PGA coordination
- Valuation, classification projects, and audit defense packs
- Free trade and preference programs where the lane allows
Supply chain
We move from “what should we do?” to “here is the plan, the cash impact, and the order of operations.” That is the ShipViaUS consulting practice: not infinite slides — bounded programs with an executive sponsor, a data contract, and a path to run-state.
Network design runs with carbon-aware mode tradeoffs, because sustainability reporting that finance cannot defend is a liability, not a badge.
We align inventory policy with true service levels and cash, not a spreadsheet hero curve that your ops team can never keep breathing.
The node graph beside this text is a metaphor, not a toy: networks fail at interfaces. We design interfaces so teams stop burning slack at handoffs.
If you need embedded program leadership to carry a transformation past kickoff, we provide named operators, not a rotating cast of “senior enough” bodies.
- End-to-end lane diagnostics & mode mix strategy
- Control tower process design, KPIs, and governance
- Integration planning between ERP, TMS, and visibility tools
