A major automotive OEM once approached GSS about urgent production for two critical parts. They wanted to take advantage of offshore pricing, but they were operating on a tight timeline. They needed the parts in just thirty days, but materials and air freight had not yet been secured. Our customer knew that high-level problem solving is how we operate, so they knew they could count on GSS to meet what felt like an impossible deadline.

Because we understand every nuance of production and shipping, we were able to rapidly design a highly efficient plan that avoided common sources of delays. We mobilized our global network of trusted partners to accelerate the process and get our customer what they needed—on time.

Both domestic and offshore manufacturers offer desirable—but very different—benefits. Offshore production is often much more cost-effective, which is a great advantage for price-sensitive customers. However, due to complex supply chains, getting those parts to your door takes time, money, and ongoing management of logistical complexities. Manufacturing parts on American soil is usually more expensive, but domestic supply chains are simpler and more predictable. This stability can be extremely attractive during periods of ongoing global supply chain disruption.

GSS is committed to helping you choose the option that matches your priorities to achieve your goals. Whether you opt for domestic or offshore, we can eliminate the headache of supply chain management by offering single-source responsibility. Our team will find the right vendor, determine the right shipping route, and manage the entire process, so you can focus your time and energy elsewhere.

GSS works with a global network of fully vetted shipping companies and freight forwarders. We understand the reasons to choose ocean versus air freight and can make an informed decision on your behalf. For you, this means on-time delivery without the pressure of selecting the right shipping method.

GSS has successfully ushered countless shipments through seemingly impossible supply chain situations. We understand the nuances and the unpredictable nature of global shipping, so you can trust us to design an optimized plan.

Before we start working on a shipping plan, we do a complete evaluation of your needs and the current state of the supply chain. Thanks to our relationships with service providers all over the world, we can gather more intel on a situation that might not be publicly available. We use this information to find the best possible route for your parts so we can meet your deadline and eliminate any anxiety about shipping delays.
