Full-spectrum logistics for the people who make things.

We advise, plan, and run the operational side of your business end‑to‑end — strategy, vendors, contracts, shipments, and the dozens of daily decisions in between — so your team can focus on what they actually do best.

A full-spectrum logistics and operations partner for manufacturers, importers, and large-format goods producers — built on more than a decade of moving complex freight for clients who don't have time to manage it themselves.

What we do

A complete logistics function, on call.

Most of our clients hire us instead of building an in-house logistics team. We work as an extension of your operation — strategic when you need direction, hands-on when you need execution, and accountable for both.

01 / Consulting

Logistics Consulting

Strategy, sourcing, and structure. We design the supply chain — modes, routes, vendors, and contracts — to fit how your business actually runs, not how a textbook says it should.

02 / Freight

Freight Forwarding

Domestic, international, ocean, air, LTL and full truckload. One coordinator, every mode, every lane — booked, tracked, and resolved end to end.

03 / Storage

Warehousing & Distribution

Short-term storage, long-term 3PL, regional distribution. We source, vet, and manage warehouse partners on your behalf — and we stay accountable for what happens inside them.

04 / Customs

Customs & Compliance

International shipments cleared properly the first time. Documentation, classification, duties, and brokerage relationships you can rely on across major ports.

05 / Operations

Operations Setup

New to importing or scaling up? We help stand up the operational side of your business — vendors, contracts, processes, and the right people to run it day to day.

06 / Specialty

Specialized Handling

Oversized, fragile, high-value, or unusually shaped freight. Crating, white-glove delivery, and route planning for cargo that doesn't fit a standard pallet.

Who we work with

Industries we know inside out.

We work with a small, intentional roster of clients in industries where logistics is genuinely complicated — heavy, oversized, fragile, or high-value goods that don't move themselves.

Construction Materials

Building products, fixtures, and bulk goods moving from manufacturer to job site.

Home Décor & Furnishings

Furniture, lighting, and interior pieces for retailers, designers, and direct-to-consumer brands.

Art & Large-Format Sculpture

Oversized installations and high-value pieces requiring custom crating and white-glove handling.

Manufacturing & Industrial

Finished goods, components, and equipment moving through complex domestic and international lanes.

How we work

A clear process, start to finish.

No black boxes. You'll know what we're doing, why we're doing it, and what it costs at every stage of the engagement.

01

Discovery

We start with a conversation about your product, your volume, and your current setup. No commitment — just clarity on where the friction is.

02

Plan

We map the supply chain that fits your business — modes, vendors, lanes, timelines, and the realistic cost of each option.

03

Execute

Once approved, we run it. Bookings, paperwork, tracking, exceptions, and clear communication with your team and your customers.

04

Optimize

Logistics is never static. We review performance regularly and refine routes, partners, and processes as your business grows.

Why Astralead

Built for clients who plan to be in business for a long time.

We work with a deliberately small number of clients at a time — on purpose. It lets us know your product, your customers, and your operations the way an in-house team would.

I.

A single point of contact

You speak to a coordinator who knows your account end-to-end — not a ticket queue, not a different rep every quarter.

II.

Carrier-agnostic

We work with the network that's right for your shipment, not the one with the best margin for us. Pricing and routing are always your decision.

III.

Plain-spoken pricing

No surprise fees, no padded line items. You see what we see, and you see it before the shipment moves.

IV.

Built for the long term

Most of our clients have been with us for years. We design relationships, not transactions — and our process reflects that.

About

Quietly running the operations side of growing companies.

We've been running the operational side of supply chains for more than a decade — through good economies and bad, growth phases and bottlenecks, every kind of freight and every kind of client. The work doesn't really change: there's always something to ship, somewhere to ship it, and a hundred small decisions in between.

We work with a small number of clients on purpose. It lets us know your product, your customers, and your operations the way an in-house team would — and it lets us do excellent work instead of just available work.
