Consolidation

Service Details

In today’s supply chain environment, businesses are under constant pressure to streamline operations and cut costs. Our Consolidation service helps you do both—by collecting shipments from multiple vendors within a shared geographic area and combining them into one efficient, cost-effective delivery to your facility.

This is ideal for companies receiving frequent, smaller shipments that originate from similar locations but are headed to the same destination. By leveraging our regional network and consolidation centers, you reduce transportation costs, minimize handling, and regain time to focus on your core business.

The Process

  • Customized pickup schedule

    We coordinate daily, weekly, or monthly sweeps in your target pickup zone based on vendor and volume needs.

  • Regional consolidation hubs

    Shipments are returned to a Jet Delivery consolidation center for staging, sorting, and preparation.

  • Final delivery, optimized

    All shipments are delivered back to your facility in a single, consolidated run—reducing touches and cost.

  • Reverse flow: Distribution

    This model also works in reverse—we can distribute consolidated freight from your facility out to your network.

  • Focus on your operations

    We manage the entire traffic flow, so your team can focus on running the business—not running freight.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here’s everything you need to know about streamlining inbound freight with Consolidation.

  • What is Consolidation, and how does it work?

    Consolidation combines multiple inbound shipments from nearby vendors into a single, more efficient delivery. We coordinate daily, weekly, or monthly sweeps, gather product from your suppliers, return it to one of our consolidation centers, and deliver it to your facility in one organized shipment. You can choose to schedule your own truck for pickup from our warehouse, or we can handle the final delivery to your location as part of the service.

  • What are the benefits of Consolidation?

    Consolidation helps you reduce transportation costs, minimize traffic at your dock, and eliminate the need to manage multiple inbound deliveries. It also allows your team to focus on core operations instead of coordinating inbound freight across multiple vendors and carriers.

  • What types of shipments are ideal for this service?

    Consolidation works best when you receive recurring shipments from multiple vendors located in the same geographic area. It's ideal for manufacturers, distribution centers, or any business that wants to simplify and optimize inbound logistics.

  • Can Consolidation be customized to our schedule?

    Yes. We work with you to determine the frequency, vendor list, and delivery windows that make the most sense for your operation. Whether you need daily sweeps or occasional grouped deliveries, we’ll tailor the solution to fit your flow.

  • What if I don’t want to integrate systems?

    Not every business wants to implement a system-to-system integration—and that’s okay. One of the strengths of our Consolidation service is the way our team works alongside yours. Whether it's sending status updates, confirming receipts, or managing vendor exceptions, our team can mirror your internal workflow and keep you informed without requiring full IT integration.

  • Do you offer outbound services too?

    Yes. While Consolidation focuses on inbound freight, we also offer outbound Distribution services—which follow the opposite path. We can pick up freight from your location, route it through our distribution centers, and deliver it to multiple destinations efficiently.
