Seattle logistics companies move containers through the Seattle and Tacoma ports, air freight through SeaTac and most of the goods bound for Alaska. Seattle logistics and distribution companies can hand ITServices.Tech the whole IT workload as one managed service, covering staff support, protection from attacks, recoverable backups and budget planning.
Ports, airport and the Kent Valley
The Northwest Seaport Alliance runs the container terminals in Seattle and Tacoma, SeaTac handles a large share of the region’s air cargo, and the Kent Valley holds one of the largest warehouse districts on the West Coast. Freight for Alaska moves north by barge and ship from Puget Sound.
Terminal and warehouse systems
Drayage, cross-dock and warehouse operations depend on tracking, yard and warehouse management software. Wireless planned for the building, monitored networks, spare handhelds and printers and tested recovery keep freight on schedule.
Cold chain and seafood
Cold storage for seafood and produce depends on temperature monitoring and alerts that work every hour. Monitored sensors, backup connectivity and alarms that reach staff protect inventory.
Customs brokers and forwarders
Forwarders near SeaTac and the ports handle import entries and client data. Licensed customs brokers must report a breach of their records to CBP under 19 CFR 111.21. Encryption, a second sign-in factor and monitored endpoints reduce the risk.
Earthquakes and storms
An earthquake or windstorm can close roads, bridges and power. Cloud dispatch, remote access and backups stored outside the region keep freight moving.
