One 3PL partner for imports, warehousing and transport across India

We move your cargo from your supplier or your plant, clear it at the port, store it in our warehouses and deliver it to your distributors, retail chains and plants. You get one contract, one invoice and one team to answer for all of it.

The problem is not any one vendor. It is the joins between them.

Each vendor does its own part well. Things go wrong where one hands over to the next, because nobody owns the gap in between.

With four vendorsWith Stockarea

A freight forwarder for the sea leg, a CHA at the port, a warehouse in another city and a transporter somewhere in between.

One partner books the freight, clears the cargo, stores the stock and moves the goods.

Four invoices, four formats, four billing cycles to reconcile.

One contract, one invoice, one reconciliation.

The forwarder, the CHA, the warehouse and the transporter each count your cargo differently, so the numbers never quite agree.

Every step works from one stock record that you can see too.

A cleared container waits at the port because nobody told the warehouse, and the demurrage lands on you.

Clearance, warehouse space and the truck are planned together, because one team books all three.

A late delivery turns into an argument between vendors while your customer waits.

One team answers for every handover, because every handover happens inside our operation.

End-to-end operations from your plant to your distributor

From port or manufacturing site

From the port or your plant, into our warehouses

For imports we book the freight from your supplier abroad. When the cargo lands at JNPT, Mundra, Chennai or another major port, we clear it and move it out as soon as customs releases it. Goods made in India come in by truck from your plant. Either way the stock lands in the nearest of our warehouses.

Inventory fulfilment

Controlled inventory and accurate order fulfilment

Every inbound shipment is verified against its documents and stored by batch and expiry, with stock picked on a first-expiry, first-out basis. Orders from distributors, retail chains and marketplaces are picked, packed, labelled and invoiced from the warehouse closest to the customer, and every movement is recorded against your account.

Pan India presence

Our warehouses work as one network

Line haul links every warehouse, so stock moves ahead of demand to the city that will need it next. We plan full and part loads across the whole network, and a shortage in one city is covered from the one nearby.

Delivery

Delivered to every kind of customer

Part loads go to distributors and stockists, full loads go to retail chain depots inside their appointment windows, and marketplace orders leave with their own labels. Every drop comes back with proof of delivery, so any dispute is settled with a document.

Zero hassle returns

Every return checked, restocked and accounted for

Returns, damaged goods and near-expiry stock come back through the same warehouse. We check each one and either put it back into stock or hold it for your decision. Every movement in and out lands in one stock record that you can see.

The benefits of an integrated 3PL

Fewer handovers, fewer failures

Most delays start where one vendor hands over to the next. With freight, storage and delivery in one operation, stock and paperwork have no gap to fall into.

One version of your stock

Every warehouse and every truck works from the same record, so the number on your screen is the number on the shelf.

Lower total cost

Stock is handled once instead of at every vendor, and you are not paying for space sized for your busiest week. Freight is planned across the whole network instead of one leg at a time.

Less cash tied up in stock

Stock placed near demand and moved on a plan needs less buffer in every state. You pay only for the space you use.

Faster into new markets

Opening a new city or state means adding it to the contract you already have. There are no new vendors to find, check and sign.

Compliance carried for you

Customs filings, e-way bills and stock statements are part of the operation, done the same way at every port and in every state.

One control tower for your entire supply chain

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you handle the freight and the import too, not just the warehousing?
Yes, from your supplier onwards. We book the ocean or air freight, clear the cargo at the Indian port, arrange the duty payment and bring it straight into our warehouse. If you would rather pay duty only when the stock sells, we can hold it in a bonded warehouse. For goods made in India we collect from your plant the same way.
What is 3PL, and what does an integrated 3PL add?
A third party logistics provider runs part of your supply chain for you, most often warehousing. It becomes integrated when the same provider also runs what happens before and after the warehouse: customs clearance at the port, the transport between warehouses and the delivery to your customers. The difference shows at the handovers, because that is where a chain made of separate vendors breaks.
Which cities can you hold stock in?
We cover every tier 1 and tier 2 city in India and are present in the major tier 3 markets, with new locations being added quickly.
Do you serve both B2B distribution and e-commerce orders?
Yes, and from the same stock where it makes sense. Case and pallet dispatch to distributors and retail chains can run from the same inventory as unit picking for marketplace and D2C orders.
Can you track stock by batch and expiry?
Yes. Batch and expiry are recorded when the stock arrives and used when it is picked, so the oldest stock goes out first. Pharma, food and cosmetics brands usually ask about this before anything else.
How is an integrated 3PL contract priced?
Storage is charged on the space or pallets you use, handling on the work done and transport by lane. Each part is priced separately, so ask to see the full structure before you compare quotes.
Do we get live data on our inventory and where it is?
Yes. Across the whole supply chain you can see where your inventory is right now and what stage it has reached, from a container at sea or at the port to stock in a warehouse bin, an order being picked or a truck on the road.
