Third-party logistics · Bay Area corridor

Fulfillment that keeps pace with night-and-day demand.

ShipLou is a premium 3PL partner for brands that outgrew the garage — pick, pack, and ship with the discipline of a supply chain team that treats your product like cargo worth guarding. Corridor-native: Port of Oakland drayage, I-880 fulfillment spine, Central Valley relay for peak overflow.

Shipment visibility preview

Specimen UI — connects to a mocked status panel (no live TMS).

Capabilities engineered for scale

Six-line service taxonomy aligned to the Bay Area 3PL research brief — warehousing and fulfillment near the Port of Oakland and I-880, transload and transport depth, VAS for DTC and marketplaces, and a joint IT + ops visibility story.

Warehousing & storage

Climate-aware racking, lot tracking, cycle counts, and food-grade lanes with exception alerts — Dreisbach / PRISM-style compliance depth for RFP-ready narratives.

Fulfillment & replenishment

SLA-based pick/pack/ship, retail replenishment, cut-off rules, and carrier optimization — Fulfillco-style DTC clarity with enterprise dispatch discipline.

Transload & cross-dock

Port-adjacent devanning, overweight and distressed load programs, bonded CFS language, and cross-dock orchestration — PCC / CargoBay wedge without dated UI.

Transport & linehaul

TL/LTL consolidation, dedicated shuttles, and rail-adjacent handoffs — ties Oakland maritime nodes to Central Valley overflow and national linehaul partners.

VAS & marketplace ops

Kitting, labeling, inserts, returns QC, FBA/WFS prep, and rework lanes — SemiDock-style marketplace literacy with brand-friendly unboxing touches.

Technology & visibility

Customer portal, WMS snapshots, webhooks, EDI/API, and automation narratives for joint IT + ops buyers — DHL-style control-tower positioning at regional scale.
