Why we do it
The mission of ABF is to deliver value to our customers by developing and implementing customized solutions to their global logistical challenges in a responsible and ethical manner.
How we do it
Utilizing an innovative Dual-System network, ABF is the clear leader in cargo care, security, safety, and technological innovation. Our comprehensive portfolio of logistics services starts on the manufacturer’s floor and ends with white glove, inside delivery. In between, our customers gain competitive advantages from a single point of contact and total end-to-end supply chain visibility.
We engineer Retail Solutions, including precision deliveries, protective services, product recalls—virtually any need. ABF works with customers to develop the right solution for their specific need—whatever that may be. We can provide enhanced security for high-value freight, such as pharmaceuticals and jewelry. We can provide extended storage options for shipments in transit—ensuring precise delivery and recall during starting and ending dates. Maybe customers need synchronized, time-sensitive deliveries to all stores in the retail chain. ABF has the solution.
Real-time visibility and our laser-focused ABF team help to minimize the effects of supply-chain challenges, thereby improving logistics accuracy and inventory management. Our network of warehouses is strategically positioned to handle seasonal overflow at established facilities. That helps customers better manage spikes in inventory. And it helps them better manage inventory that has a tendency to clog their primary distribution channels. To avert trucking capacity challenges, particularly during peak season, ABF coordinates product storage near the end market. Then we move product quickly and in large quantities just in time for the selling season, eliminating lost selling days and late-arriving inventory.
