Here is what you get when Cura Resource Group runs your logistics under contract.
Our contract logistics services cover seven areas, and you can contract for one or all of them. Each runs on the same team, systems and inventory.
We receive, store and manage your inventory in warehouses we operate. Read more about our warehousing services.
We pick, pack and ship orders to consumers and businesses from the same stock, through our order fulfillment service and omnichannel fulfillment services.
We count, track and report your stock so the numbers in the system match what is on the shelf. See our inventory control service.
We receive, inspect and restock returned goods, or route them for repair or disposal, through our returns management service.
When freight already has a destination, we move it from inbound to outbound trucks with little or no storage, using our cross-docking services.
We build store and distribution center orders to each retailer’s routing guide, as part of our retail distribution services.
We book LTL, FTL and parcel freight through our carrier network, domestic and international. Our shipping and delivery service covers the carrier side.
A contract logistics agreement can run in dedicated space or in a shared operation. Dedicated warehousing gives you your own space and staff; a shared operation spreads space and labor across several clients, which suits smaller or seasonal volumes.
Our pages on dedicated warehousing and contract warehousing explain each model in more detail.
We run contract logistics from three warehouses we operate, each serving a different part of the map.
Our corporate office is in Washington, Michigan.
A contract logistics agreement with Cura moves through five stages: scope, proposal, onboarding, go-live and review.
You tell us what you ship, how much, where it goes and which services you need. We ask about order profiles, seasonality and the retailers or channels you sell through.
We send a custom proposal within 24 to 48 business hours, with the services, the space model and the pricing structure for your volumes.
We set up your products, systems connections and processes, and receive your opening inventory.
Orders start flowing through our warehouse, with your inventory and order status visible in real time.
We review performance against the service levels in your agreement and adjust the operation as your volumes change.
Contract logistics cost depends on your volumes and the work involved, so every agreement is priced to its own profile. The main cost drivers are:

Brands choose Cura Resource Group because one team runs storage, fulfillment, returns, cross-docking and freight from warehouses we operate ourselves. We have run third-party logistics since 2008.
Retail and ecommerce orders draw on the same inventory, we build retail orders to each routing guide, and the same team that ships freight books it. You deal with one provider and one agreement instead of several.
A contract logistics provider runs part or all of a company’s logistics under a long-term agreement. That usually means warehousing, order fulfillment, inventory control, returns and freight, managed to service levels set in the contract. Cura Resource Group provides these services from warehouses in Memphis, Riverside and Carolina, Puerto Rico.
A contract logistics provider is a type of third-party logistics (3PL) provider that works under a longer, more tailored agreement. Many 3PLs, including Cura Resource Group, offer both. Our article on contract logistics vs 3PL explains the differences.
Cura Resource Group sends a custom contract logistics proposal within 24 to 48 business hours of receiving your requirements. The proposal covers the services, the space model and the pricing structure for your volumes.
