SPECIALTY DESKS
DESK 01 · ENERGY
The Energy Corridor B2B lane
Indirect materials, components, and PPE into the energy supply chain — the ExxonMobil, Chevron Phillips, and Schlumberger orbit. Routing-guide compliance, EDI/ASN, SAP Ariba integration, and dock appointments handled from our side, so a missed window never becomes your chargeback.
DESK 02 · MEDICAL
Texas Medical Center distribution
TMC is the largest medical complex on Earth — 60+ institutions, 100,000+ employees — and it receives like one. We run medical-device, pharma-adjacent, and PPE-style shipments with chain-of-custody documentation and signature-required delivery, end to end.
GULF HUMIDITY PROTOCOL
Dew point 75°F+. Your powders noticed.
Supplement powders, electronics, leather, food-adjacent SKUs — anything that absorbs moisture ships to Houston with desiccant packs and moisture-barrier bags by default. A checkbox on your account, not a claim after the fact.
COVERAGE + FBA
Houston is famously enormous. From us, it's one number — every neighborhood below ships 3-day ground at Zone 5.
