Atlas International: Your Global Logistics Partner

Atlas International is ready to become your next global logistics partner with our extensive 3PL services. After spending time shipping items across borders and navigating the complex customs process for commercial and residential international moves, we've branched out to help companies optimize their supply chains.

About Atlas International

At Atlas International, we align our experience with our mission to create custom, comprehensive 3PL solutions for companies around the world.

Our History and Experience

Atlas International started as an international moving company. After decades of helping people relocate across borders, we've expanded into 3PL services, reapplying our extensive skill set to benefit businesses around the globe.

Our Mission and Values

We strive to provide critical logistics solutions, domestic and international, to help companies broaden their horizons and keep up with the globalized economy. We achieve this by sticking to our core values of reliability, innovation and customer focus.

Supply Chain and Logistics

Logistics describes the process of coordinating resources, including their acquisition, storage and transportation. It's the way a company manages its supply chain to ensure the business flows as necessary. An e-commerce company, for example, needs to source its merchandise, store it and transport it to buyers.

Third-party logistics refers to outsourcing some or all of a business' supply chain needs to a company specializing in logistics management. This can include the following:

• Inbound logistics describes the movement, transportation and storage of products and information from suppliers to warehouses. It focuses on bringing goods and services into a company's supply chain.
• Outbound logistics oversees sending products to the next step in the supply chain, such as a manufacturer sending completed goods to a distributor.
• Reverse logistics focuses on bringing products back from end-users after a sale. For example, if a customer returns a faulty product, it's processed through reverse logistics. This may include refurbishing, repairing or disposing of products.

Whether a company's supply chain crosses international borders also influences the logistics services they may need. Domestic logistics, when a company operates entirely within its own borders, often has fewer logistics needs because there isn't the complication of importing or exporting. International logistics cover the process of imports/exports, including customs clearance and organizing air or sea freight transportation.
