HOW A 3PL CAN ALLEVIATE THE HOLIDAY SEASON E-COMMERCE SURGE

Since March, e-commerce has been on the rise with more consumers online shopping instead of going to stores, putting a large strain on the supply chain. As we approach the holiday season, this surge will continue, causing a unique challenge for shippers and carriers already facing peak season volume.

NTG has been working since early 2020 in preparation to provide solutions and quality service to customers and ease the pain points of peak season. In addition, we are developing new solutions to manage an accelerated peak season due to the pandemic. As we advance towards the holidays, it’s important to understand these services and look for a 3PL provider that can adapt quickly to your unique shipping needs.

A few key points and offerings from NTG to help your company during this e-commerce surge include:

Our team works hard to provide quality service and a smooth process for carriers and shippers. If something should need additional attention, NTG is here to problem solve and find the best solution.

Final Mile Services – NTG has a wide network to help facilitate expedited services such as sprinter vans and straight trucks, with established carrier relationships that focus on fast delivery and quality service. Expedited shipping makes up a large portion of e-commerce capacity during peak season and NTG is prepared to handle anything that might come our way.

RhinoLink – Drop Trailer Program – With an exclusive drop trailer partnership with RhinoLink, NTG has been working diligently to increase access to this program which helps shippers alleviate live load issues and warehousing pain points.
