Manufacturing logistics that keeps the line fed and the dock clear

Manufacturing logistics at CFL covers both ends of the plant: inbound components and raw materials held off-site and delivered to the line on a schedule, and finished goods moved out by LTL, truckload or same-day inside 100 miles. Nine facilities in seven states, from Los Angeles to New York, give manufacturers overflow space and outbound lanes without adding plant square footage.

The challenge

Three things we hear on the first call, in the words we hear them.

01

“The plant floor is not a warehouse.”

Raw material and finished goods compete for the same square footage, and production space loses.

02

“A late inbound pallet stops the line.”

When a component is two days out and the line needs it tomorrow, the cost is measured in idle hours, not freight dollars.

03

“Outbound freight is nobody’s job.”

Shipping is handled between production and the front office; carriers are booked by whoever has time, and the invoices are never audited.

How CFL runs it

Four steps, one account, one operator with their name on it.

  1. Hold inbound off-site

    Components and raw materials received into pallet positions near the plant, counted and reported against your PO.

  2. Deliver to the line

    Scheduled or same-day deliveries inside 100 miles bring material to the dock when production needs it, not when the carrier gets around to it.

  3. Stage finished goods

    Outbound product stored, kitted or built into customer orders at the facility, clearing the plant floor.

  4. Ship & audit

    LTL, truckload and same-day booked from one desk, with every invoice audited and reported in the monthly cost-savings report.

Three questions

What is your freight profile?

Pallet or parcel, container or domestic, urgent or scheduled. Three answers return the line items we would quote first — then build your manifest and an operator prices it.

Other verticalsEcommerce & DTC →Importers & distributors →Retail replenishment →
Can CFL deliver components to our plant on a fixed schedule?
Yes. Scheduled deliveries from a CFL facility to your plant run on the days and windows you set. Same-day is available for any address within 100 miles of the facility.
Do you handle kitting or light assembly?
Kitting — combining components into a build-ready kit — is available as a 3PL line item.
How is inbound material tracked?
Every receipt is counted against your PO or ASN, put away to a pallet position and reported the same day.
What if we only need overflow space for a few months?
That is what pallet storage is for: the first 30 days free, then $25.00 per pallet per month. Take positions for the project or the season and release them when the material ships.
