Stand up paddle boarding (SUP) is an ancient form of surfing which has recently re-emerged as one of the fastest growing sports in America. Essentially, the sport consists of riding an oversized surf board and propelling yourself with a paddle. Due to the growth in this industry, SUP companies are popping up all over the nation with new products. One of the challenges SUP companies are facing is how to store and ship the large boards economically and without damages.
GlobalTranz Supply Chain Management has created an attractive model for SUP companies, which has led to six SUP accounts, including some industry leading brands. With over 15 warehouse locations, GlobalTranz is able to position inventory near the demand, regardless of where the SUP company is based. Services include storage, inventory control, order processing, and transportation.
Since this commodity is so fragile, handling is very important. Our warehouse partners are very familiar with the requirements and follow proper storage techniques to avoid damages. In addition, GlobalTranz has partnered with a regional carrier in southern California to perform premier delivery services to the shops and dealers in the popular SoCal market.
With the ability to outsource logistics services to a functional expert like GlobalTranz, our SUP clients are able to focus on growth instead of tactical operations. The SCM Department manages the inventory and orders while our clients center their efforts on designing, marketing, and selling. Through adding such value, GlobalTranz will continue to reel in new SUP accounts and help existing clients grow to new levels.
