Get more. Solve more. Stress less.
When it comes to warehousing and fulfillment, businesses have a choice: work directly with a proven logistics provider with full-service capabilities, or route everything through a freight broker or warehousing reseller. It sounds like a minor distinction. But over time, that choice has a measurable impact on your costs, your visibility, and your supply chain’s ability to perform when it matters most.
‘Going direct’ with an actual warehouse operator, such as Logistics Plus, can provide buyers with important benefits. Here’s why that matters for your business. It’s worth noting that this article focuses specifically on warehousing and fulfillment services. Freight and transportation brokerage is a different model entirely, one that adds genuine value by helping shippers manage transportation across a broad network of thousands of carriers. Logistics Plus is proud to operate in both capacities: as a licensed transportation broker and as a direct warehouse operator with facilities across North America.
One Partner. End-to-End Solutions.
When you work directly with Logistics Plus, you’re working with a single, accountable partner that handles the full scope of your warehousing operation — storage, kitting, labor, transportation, and more. There’s no handoff, no version of your requirements that gets lost in translation, and no ambiguity about who owns the outcome.
Freight brokers and warehousing resellers, by contrast, are intermediaries. Their role is to connect you with a service provider, not to be that provider. That means one more layer between your business and the people actually doing the work. Freight brokers may understand transportation, but they are not experts in warehousing. Warehousing brokers may understand warehousing, but they are not the operators responsible for your inventory.
Direct Communication. No Middleman.
Speed matters in supply chain. When you have a question, a problem, or an urgent request, you need answers from the people who actually run the operation. A relay race through a broker’s account management team only slows you down.
Working directly with Logistics Plus means your team talks directly to ours. No delays. No filtered information. No miscommunication is introduced by an intermediary who doesn’t have full operational context.
Greater Control and Real-Time Visibility
Transparency is essential for modern supply chain management. When you go direct for warehousing with Logistics Plus, you get real-time visibility into your inventory and operations through our proprietary client portal, MyLogisticsPlus™, with no filtered view routed through a third party.
Freight brokers and warehousing resellers, by nature, add opacity. They often lack direct access to the operational data needed to make informed decisions. Less transparency means slower responses, tougher audits, and greater risk.
Cost Efficiency: Eliminate the Broker Markup
Freight brokers and warehousing resellers in the chain add fees. That’s not a criticism. It’s simply how brokered relationships work. But it means you’re paying more for the same service that you could access directly.
Going direct with Logistics Plus eliminates broker markups and hidden fees. You get more value for your logistics spend, with full pricing transparency and a partner whose incentives are aligned with your long-term success, not just the margin on the next transaction.
Flexibility and Scalability Built for Real Business Needs
Supply chains don’t stay static. Volumes fluctuate. Markets shift. Requirements evolve. A true logistics partner can adapt alongside you because they have the assets, the teams, and the institutional knowledge of your operation to respond quickly.
Freight brokers and warehousing resellers often lack that flexibility. If the facility in their network can’t accommodate your needs, your options are limited. With Logistics Plus, you’re working with a company that has operations in 55+ countries, a robust North American warehousing and fulfillment network, and a team invested in solving your specific challenges rather than booking the next deal.
A True Supply Chain Partner, Not Just a Transaction
This is perhaps the most important distinction of all.
Many freight brokers only move freight. Warehousing resellers may not move anything at all. Logistics Plus builds full-service solutions that include warehousing, transportation, and visibility.
Our team is invested in your long-term success. We take the time to understand your business, your industry vertical, your growth plans, and your operational pain points, and we bring those insights to every interaction. That’s not a transactional relationship. That’s a partnership.
Go Direct. Experience the Difference.
If you’re currently working with a broker for your warehousing and fulfillment needs, it may be time to ask whether that additional layer is serving you, or simply adding cost, delay, and risk.
Logistics Plus is ready to show you what going direct really looks like: one partner, end-to-end accountability, direct communication, real-time visibility, and a genuine commitment to your supply chain success.

Businesses are always looking for ways to optimize inventory, reduce costs, and enhance efficiency. One powerful strategy that has gained momentum is Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI). This solution shifts inventory management responsibility from the buyer to the supplier or a third-party inventory manager like Logistics Plus.
But what exactly is VMI, and how can it benefit your business? Let’s explore how Logistics Plus can help streamline vendor inventory management with its innovative supply chain solutions.
What is Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI)?
VMI is a supply chain strategy where suppliers or 3PLs take charge of managing and replenishing inventory based on real-time demand and usage data. This proactive approach reduces stockouts, minimizes excess inventory, and improves overall supply chain efficiency. With VMI, suppliers access a buyer’s inventory levels and sales data, allowing them to make informed replenishment decisions. This removes the guesswork from inventory management and fosters stronger collaboration between suppliers and buyers.
The Benefits of VMI
• Optimized Stock Levels – Real-time data analysis ensures optimal inventory levels, reducing overstocking and stockouts.
• Potential Cost Savings – Lower holding costs, reduced administrative burdens, and minimized stockouts lead to cost reductions.
• Strengthened Supplier-Buyer Relationships – Improved communication and collaboration foster long-term business partnerships.
• Better Visibility – Access to real-time demand data enhances forecasting accuracy and reduces disruptions.
• Enhanced Customer Satisfaction – Reliable stock availability ensures a seamless experience for end customers.
Industries That Benefit from VMI
Various industries can leverage VMI for streamlined operations, including:
• Retail: Keeping shelves stocked with fast-moving consumer goods.
• Manufacturing: Preventing parts shortages to maintain smooth production lines.
• Pharma & Healthcare: Ensuring the efficient management of critical medical supplies.
• Automotive: Supporting just-in-time inventory for essential components.
Challenges of VMI Implementation
Despite its advantages, VMI does have challenges, such as:
• Seamless Technology Integration: Effective VMI requires smooth data sharing, often needing ERP system investments.
• Trust and Transparency: Businesses must share sales data and rely on suppliers for inventory decisions.
• Vendor Reliability: Supplier performance is critical to the success of a VMI program.
Is VMI the Right Fit for Your Business?
If inventory inefficiencies, frequent stockouts, or high carrying costs are issues for your business, VMI could be the ideal solution. However, success depends on strong supplier partnerships and a commitment to data transparency.
How Logistics Plus Enhances VMI Implementation
Logistics Plus (LP) offers a suite of supply chain solutions designed to support VMI strategies:
• Advanced Inventory Management: LP’s sophisticated system leverages data analysis and technology to optimize inventory levels, track stock movements in real-time, and make informed storage and fulfillment decisions, ensuring efficient stock handling and distribution through our warehousing solutions.
• Technology-Driven Visibility: With MyLogisticsPlus™ and eWorldPlus™, businesses can access real-time inventory tracking, enabling seamless supplier-buyer communication.
• Efficient Fulfillment Services: LP’s tailored pick, pack, and ship solutions ensure vendor-managed inventory is handled quickly and accurately.
• Strategic Warehousing Locations: With nearly 10 million square feet of warehouse space across North America, LP optimizes inventory placement for faster transit times and improved efficiency.
Get Started with Logistics Plus
Vendor managed inventory isn’t just a strategy—it’s a transformative approach to supply chain management. By leveraging the right technology and partners, businesses can enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and strengthen supply chain relationships.

Jan Krediet, a Logistics Plus company, continues to deliver humanitarian aid to cities across Ukraine. For their latest delivery to Odesa, the Jan Krediet team was assisted by the ‘Drivers for Hope’ agency, who set up a convoy with five other local carriers.
The load contained power generators, medical equipment, medical clothing, wheelchairs, washing powder, and children’s toys to supply the hospitals around Odesa. Upon arrival, the cargo was offloaded in the village of Liubashivka, where the goods were then distributed based on the needs of the local hospitals.
The mayor of the region, who is praised by the Ukrainian army for his commitment and help, thanked the convoy drivers. Photos of the convoy and delivery can be seen below.

The Logistics Plus (LP) Aero team is pleased to join other Logistics Plus offices in obtaining its IATA Cargo Accounts Settlement Systems (CASS) number for simplified billing and settling of accounts with scheduled airlines. CASS yields a two-fold solution as it replaces airlines’ traditional paper-based invoicing and also agents’ manual control of those invoices.
Andriy Blagovisniy, Global Director of Air Chartering for LP Aero, commented on the significance. “Getting an IATA CASS number gives our team access to faster and more efficient scheduled airline solutions. We now have improved access to many cargo carriers conducting export flights in the UK. By combining this access with our air charter capabilities, we can offer our customers solutions ranging from small packages to the most complex project cargo pieces.” Andriy added, “As a part of Logistics Plus, we continue to offer worldwide door-to-door solutions by air, sea, road, and rail.”
About IATA
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) is the trade association for the world’s airlines, representing some 330 airlines over 80% of global air traffic. IATA supports many areas of aviation activity and helps formulate industry policy on critical aviation issues.
