Freight Management and Logistics Services

The team of transportation professionals at SPS is in tune with the intricacies of FF&E transportation. Providing transportation solutions via land, sea and air, SPS has positioned itself to be your full-service freight and logistics provider. With a network of experienced LTL, long & short haul truckload and padded van carriers SPS has the ability to accommodate even the most demanding transportation challenges.

At SPS our carriers, forwarders and customs brokers are chosen specifically for their aptitude and regional expertise rather that by allegiances. Each shipment, whether a five yard piece of fabric or a full trailer load of televisions, receives the same attention and is matched with the most experienced and qualified carrier possible.

In addition to providing you with the finest of logistics management services, SPS has also positioned itself to provide these services at a substantial value. With hundreds of negotiated contracts with common carriers, airfreight providers and couriers, SPS is able to let our overall volume of business lower the cost to each individual client.

Furthermore, while ensuring that your transportation dollar goes as far as possible, the SPS flat-rate system nearly eliminates the overwhelming deluge of freight bills that accompany FF&E projects. It is not unusual for a typical five hundred-room hotel to generate six to seven hundred freight invoices. Instead, SPS will once monthly invoice for a management fee that is based upon an agreed flat fee covering the cost of all domestic, standard transit, freight and our coordination, expediting and tracking services. The owner receives timely and safe transportation of all new furnishings while lessening the overall back-office load for the project staff. More importantly, the owner will have a guaranteed FF&E transportation cost that is locked in at the outset of the project.

SPS logistics customers are able to access their order expediting data and shipping status information through our exclusive SPS ProjectLinkTM. In addition to reviewing this logistical data, SPS clients are able to view and track individual shipments, print proof of delivery copies, bills of lading and check on claims status twenty-four hours a day via secure internet access.
