Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How do logistics strategies differ for fashion, apparel, and footwear brands?

​Fashion and footwear require Stock Keeping Unit (SKU)-intensive handling, size/color/fit variations, pre-pack or garments-on-hangers (GOH) flows, and rapid season-to-season turnover.

OIA Global offers a customized suite of logistics solutions to give customers speedy last-mile delivery and flexibility during volume fluctuations.

What is omnichannel fulfillment?

​Omnichannel fulfillment is the process of fulfilling customer orders across multiple sales channels using a single, coordinated inventory and logistics network—giving customers a seamless experience whether they purchase in-store, online, through marketplaces (Amazon, Walmart, etc.), or elsewhere.

OIA Global’s network can coordinate different supply chain stakeholders to provide:

  • ​Direct-to-consumer (D2C) capabilities
  • ​Last-mile optimization
  • ​Regional/local distribution strategies

​Plus, OIA Global’s contract logistics segment is directly integrated with its transportation management segment, which better enables omni-channel shipping options for small parcels.

 

How can we reduce emissions across our supply chains?

  • ​Consolidate shipments to minimize trips. OIA Global’s LCL (less than container load) service options are extensive.
  • Use more efficient and sustainable packaging
  • ​Implement carbon tracking and reporting for transparency and continuous improvement
  • ​Optimize last-mile delivery density to reduce mileage per drop.

What role does packaging design play in reducing damage and shipping costs?

​Better engineered packaging can improve cube utilization, limit wasted container space, and reduce breakage for fragile items, all while meeting retail compliance requirements.

Testing (ISTA/ASTM) the material against established international standards verifies performance for both parcel and palletized flows.

Can you scale logistics operations as our brand grows?

Yes! ​Execution playbooks, flexible capacity, additional nodes, and standardized integrations help scale rapidly without losing order accuracy or delivery performance.

How can we protect fragile lifestyle products during transit? (Glassware, cosmetics, etc.)

​Custom cushioning, vibration testing, and tamper-evident seals can safeguard fragile items. Pre-shipment route planning minimizes physical handling points, reducing the risk of breakage during the shipment journey.
