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.
