Forward Air Corporation, a leading transportation services provider, has recently strengthened its market position by securing a significant distribution services award and new full truckload business from a global athletics leader, showcasing the potent synergy of its combined offerings with Omni Logistics.
This strategic new agreement sees Omni Logistics, now a key part of the Forward Air family, taking the lead in providing comprehensive distribution services for the high-profile customer. This critical support encompasses 18 distinct retail locations spread across four states, ensuring seamless operations.
A standout feature of this partnership is the implementation of a daily white-glove store replenishment program. This specialized service underscores Omni Logistics’ commitment to precision and excellence, ensuring that the global athletics leader’s retail outlets receive timely and meticulous deliveries.
Beyond distribution, Omni Logistics expertly leveraged Forward Air’s capabilities to offer the customer a robust nationwide full truckload service. This broad reach solidified Forward Air’s position as the primary full truckload carrier across numerous vital US lanes, highlighting their extensive network and capabilities in freight transportation.
Eric Brandt, Chief Commercial Officer of Forward Air, emphasized the transformative impact of this integration, stating, “With Forward Air and Omni now integrated, the combined service offerings, network, and capacity deliver real value for our customers.” This sentiment reflects the powerful competitive advantage gained through their unified logistics solutions.
Brandt further elaborated on the collaborative approach, noting, “Our teams work together to create and coordinate solutions. With the strength of our combined company, we can support nearly any logistics need.” This unified strategy allows for comprehensive supply chain management across diverse industries.
Forward Air itself stands as a prominent asset-light provider, offering diverse transportation services across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Their portfolio includes expedited less-than-truckload services, local pick-up and delivery, and a comprehensive national network of terminals, crucial for effective freight transportation and distribution services.
Complementing this, Omni Logistics provides a full spectrum of multimodal solutions, both domestically and internationally, specializing in global air, ocean, and ground services for mission-critical freight. Together, Forward Air and Omni Logistics present a formidable single resource for complex logistics needs, solidifying their market leadership in providing integrated logistics solutions.
