Tech innovators extend far beyond the Bay Area.
From Boston to Austin, Atlanta to Guadalajara, and Toronto to Toledo, tech companies inhabit nearly every city in North America. This vast reach has allowed such companies to take advantage of new markets and new talent, contributing to the enduring success of the United States and her neighbors in global technology development. But as companies extend from one metro area to hundreds, so must their supply lines. Planning deliveries across hundreds of cities and thousands of miles is no easy task, especially when those deliveries involve the unique inputs tech companies rely on.
AirFreight.com is an expert at coordinating deliveries.
We’ve been with North America’s innovators for more than a decade, filling gaps in delivery strategies according to their tight schedules. Our expertise and experience mean that we’re prepared for the most pressing challenges this innovative industry encounters. No matter the logistical mishap, we know exactly how to get you out of it and back to business as usual in no time. With AirFreight.com, you’ll always have a backup plan to keep supplies flowing no matter what.
Unique Parts
Modern technology is made of rare materials that are available from only a handful of places on the continent—and that can’t be easily replaced. There’s little or no margin for error in getting supplies from those locations. If a shipment falls through, your company doesn’t have much choice but to wait for another one. It also means that lots of other tech companies are likely to have shipments coming from that location at any given time, so you’re competing with their suppliers for road or air space.
Delicate Deliveries
Not only are the parts tech companies need highly unique, but many are also extremely delicate. The slightest turbulence during the drive or flight from your supply point to your destination can render them unusable, or at least require expensive repairs that further delay your operations. It's critical that your items are delivered by highly competent suppliers who know how to keep items safe while traveling fast enough to get them to you on time.
Strict Schedules
Tech companies pride themselves on solving the world’s most pressing problems, so when they promise a new product by a certain date, they have to deliver. There’s not a lot of opportunity to build redundancy into their delivery schedules. If key inputs don’t arrive on time for products to be made, dire medical, environmental, financial, and public safety consequences can result. Tech companies not only need deliveries that are fast on average, but they also need as little deviation from that average as possible.
Successful tech companies are aware of these challenges.
Tech companies plan their operations around these challenges, finding suppliers who deliver quickly and safely. Regardless of the skill and professionalism of your standard supplier, your key deliveries can still be impacted by unforeseen circumstances. When that happens, it’s no excuse to say to your customers or investors that you did everything right and were a victim of circumstance—you still need to right the ship and get things back to business as usual, and fast! The only solution is to find an expedited delivery broker that can pick up where your standard supplier left off.
AirFreight.com is that expedited delivery broker.
We’re always available to make up for your supply chain issues and get your items back on track. Thanks to our skilled trucking and air cargo affiliates, no amount of logistical trouble can stand between your company and continuing success.

In addition to air cargo, AirFrieght.com also coordinates ground shipping with drivers and vehicles far and wide across North America. Having truckers in key locations means that we’ll pick up where your suppliers left off, regardless of where things went wrong in the supply chain. No matter the problem, we’ll pick up your goods and drive them either to the airport or to their destination, correcting the disruption before it has time to cost you.
Recruiting Widely
We take a comprehensive approach to our air network, finding cargo airline partners that fly out of every North American airport, big or small. This approach has a number of advantages. First, our network has easy access to any location on the continent. Second, we have access to a wide variety of driver and airline expertise. However delicate or perishable your input, we have an affiliate that knows how to carry it safely.
Centralizing Our Services
Planning and executing an effective emergency delivery means taking road and air route information into account, as well as traffic, weather, and the quality of infrastructure. With these challenges in mind, AirFreight.com's centralized logistics office filters and interprets all relevant logistics information. Our team responds to new data, planning and re-planning the operation to make sure your items travel at the maximum safe speed.
Maintaining Flexibility
Because so many things can go wrong in any delivery, and especially an emergency delivery, it is important to avoid ever being caught on the back foot. AirFreight.com has created a flexible network capable of responding to any new challenges that arise. Our ground network, for instance, consists not only of vehicles and drivers in a wide variety of locations but also a wide variety of types and sizes of vehicles, so we can scale up the deliveries we broker at a moment’s notice. Likewise, our airline affiliates offer the ability not only to book space on scheduled flights with ease but also charter entirely new cargo flights.
