How SCHC Answers Your Crucial Third Party Logistics Product Handling Questions

The most common question business owners have to ask when researching third party logistics (3PL) companies is: “Do you have experience handling my specific type of product?”

Trusting a third party to warehouse and ship your products is a big act of trust. If your 3PL partner does not have the infrastructure to manage your inventory and supply chain, you run a huge risk. SCHC is fully equipped to handle your unique requirements to manage even the most complex and specialized inventories. Operating out of the greater Houston metropolitan area of Texas since 2005, SCHC brings decades of tailored expertise across an extensive array of distinct industries.

Comprehensive Energy, Industrial, and Home Goods Logistics

Houston is a hub for oil field equipment and industrial parts. To maintain profitability, the energy industry requires quick turnaround times to meet supply and demand. SCHC leverages its expansive 23+ acre facilities, dry storage warehouses, and 24/7 monitored security surveillance to store costly industrial goods safely. 

SCHC also provides high-touch commercial storage, managing furniture receiving, secure warehouse storage, and professional installation programs for model homes, private residences, and assisted living facilities.

FDA-Registered Food Grade Warehousing & Packaging

Taking food and other perishables from harvest to retail requires very strict compliance to regulations governing these items. SCHC is a fully licensed, FDA-registered food-grade warehousing space and provides packaging and storage for these items. Led by a packaging division that has revolutionized wax-coated packaging, SCHC provides resources for seafood, agricultural produce, meat, poultry, and beer and wine producers with specialized solutions that protect these products during shipping. Inventory is managed utilizing First-In, First-Out (FIFO) standards or expiration tracking to guarantee ultimate freshness and quality.

Secure and FFL-Compliant Firearms and Ammunition Warehousing

Firearms and ammunition are two of the most regulated industries that demand a serious commitment to security and compliance. SCHC’s specialized third party logistic services maneuver through the heavy regulations and provide fully compliant FFL storage facilities that are specifically engineered to protect these two high-risk products. 

Our facilities utilize multiple layers of physical and procedural safeguards, including reinforced building structures, secure vaults, comprehensive 24/7 central-station monitored alarm systems, and strict segregation protocols that separate firearms from ammunition.

Ammunition is classified as a Class 1 explosive. SCHC manages and stores ammunition under strict DOT, EPA, and OSHA guidelines. Our facility has advanced climate control systems to maintain temperature and humidity control to prevent deterioration of ammunition components. We have an extensive ventilation system, and our personnel are trained in HAZPOWER and DOT hazmat spill handling to guarantee everyone’s safety and provide operational peace of mind. 

Certified Hazmat Warehousing and Pharmaceuticals

Not all third party logistic warehouses are created equally, nor are they legally or structurally equipped to handle regulated or hazardous substances. SCHC provides certified hazmat warehousing solutions for products that require strict environmental management, specialized separation protocols, and strict adherence to safety regulations.

SCHC also provides delicate packaging and supply chain fulfillment for sectors such as the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries, where cleanliness, compliance, and strict records are a must.

Advanced Technology and Seamless Reverse Logistics

Whether handling fresh produce, oncolytic pharmaceuticals, or oil and gas equipment, visibility is paramount. SCHC implemented a cloud-based Warehouse Management System (WMS) that provides clients with real-time, 24/7 tracking of their inventory. SCHC manages reverse logistics that build customized programs to process, inspect, repackage, and restock returns effortlessly. 

Partnering with SCHC allows you to eliminate large overhead costs related to leasing/buying and operating your own warehouse. This partnership provides turn-key infrastructure backed by experienced warehouse professionals that will take care of your inventory as if it were their own.
