Pool Distribution - IRD utilizes a dedicated, western regional network to compliment your existing supply chain and enable faster and more efficient pool distribution and last-mile delivery service.
Our pool distribution delivers: reduced transportation costs as a result of regional consolidation capabilities; complete shipment transparency via carton scans at each transfer point; improved store productivity due to custom delivery windows; and reduced transit times by servicing multiple pool points next day from our hubs.
Direct To Store Services - IRD's pool distribution network offers flexible direct-to-store deliveries throughout California, Arizona, Nevada, Texas and New Mexico. Our customers enjoy competitive benefits through our ability to service multiple pool points with entry into our major hubs in California and Texas.
Using IRD for direct-to-store shipments provides: the flexibility to schedule your shipments to your stores when you need them to be there; shipment consolidation to multiple stores leading to decreased shipment cost; dedicated operators to serve your locations; and reduced transit times.
DC Bypass - IRD also offers a DC Bypass program that will decrease your distribution costs while expanding your company's capacity without causing congestion at your own distribution centers. The key benefits of our bypass process include: reducing the time from source to retail; reducing multiple handling locations, leading to decreased errors, losses, damages and costs; decreasing and deferring capital expenditures; and improving inventory turns and response times.
Vendor Consolidations & Returns or Reverse Pool - IRD also has the ability to reverse our network, allowing your company a cost-effective and timely solution for consolidation of store returns and overstocked items back to your distribution network. Our reverse logistics also provide increased visibility of your returns through multiple-point scanning and EDI communications and fewer handling points to return your merchandise to your distribution network.
Personalized Distribution Services - IRD's western regional operations include a fleet of over 150 independent owner operators, 2 hubs and 11 pool locations. Due to this large network, IRD offers: line-haul services and dedicated truckloads; scanning capabilities with every vehicle and location; EDI communications; fully-integrated 3rd party software for freight and data processing and shipment integrity; specialty warehouse services; and regional delivery service.
Flexibility, passion for excellence, and outstanding service ensures
your shipments make it to your store complete and on-time.
