The Real Problem

Retail Freight Has Zero Margin for Error.

Store replenishment, e-commerce fulfillment, and promotional freight all run on tight appointment windows — and retailers don’t forgive late arrivals. A missed delivery window isn’t just a logistics issue. It’s a chargeback, a fine, and a buyer conversation you don’t want to have.

Most retail shippers manage freight reactively — scrambling for capacity during peak season, absorbing deductions quarter after quarter, and losing visibility the moment a shipment leaves the dock. PLS was built to fix exactly that.

Keep Every Appointment Window

PLS executes against strict retail routing guides and appointment windows — dry van, intermodal, and expedited — reducing chargeback exposure and keeping your buyer relationships intact.

Scale for Peak & Promo Surges

Large, flexible carrier capacity across all modes lets your retail network scale instantly during seasonal spikes and promotional windows — without paying emergency spot rates.

Full Visibility. Dedicated Support.

PLS Pro™ and PLS IQ deliver real-time tracking, SLA dashboards, and exception alerts. A dedicated retail team handles centralized exception management — so issues get resolved before they become deductions.
