Spartan Logistics
Meeting Dynamic Supply Chain Demands with Consistency

In today’s dynamic business environment, companies must adapt their supply chain operations to meet evolving consumer demands. However, when partnering with a third-party logistics provider to acquire warehouse space, fluctuating property prices drive them to make hefty investments.

Unlike many third-party logistics providers, Spartan Logistics is an asset-based logistics provider with real estate ownership, offering a competitive advantage to its clients. It guarantees cost certainty by retaining control and flexibility in real estate matters and takes a structured approach to help businesses achieve their short-term and long-term supply chain goals.

Spartan Logistics possesses 85 percent ownership of over 4.5 million square feet of logistics space strategically situated across various regions in the US. This ownership allows Spartan Logistics to offer a wellconnected network of fulfillment warehouses, facilitating convenient inventory storage and distribution for its customers on a national level. With warehouses strategically positioned within a day’s drive for two-thirds of the US population, businesses can confidently rely on Spartan Logistics to deliver faster and more dependable services.

“We believe in forging enduring partnerships with our valued customers, as we navigate the ever-changing landscape of real estate together. By providing them with a comprehensive understanding of the market, we empower them to forecast their costs and shield themselves from the unpredictable fluctuations across different regions,” says Josh Ledford, president of Spartan Logistics.

Spartan Logistics serves customers in various industries and offers specialized services for food-grade clients with stringent demands for facility cleanliness, pest management, and precise lot number tracking. It also handles diverse product ranges such as paper rolls, metal consumer goods, and heavy machinery. The team at Spartan Logistics leverages the capabilities of its specialized units to address clients’ unique challenges with tailored solutions, ensuring smooth business operations. Spartan Logistics oversees the storage and transportation of goods, while NAI Harmon Group conducts extensive property research and represents real estate transactions and Logan Creek Construction handles the construction of facilities for Spartan Logistics and external clients.

This synergy within the supply chain sets it apart from many other companies in the industry.

Spartan Logistics has demonstrated its ability to provide outstanding and unique solutions to a wide range of customers. One example is when it collaborated with a Fortune 100 company located in Arkansas, which required assistance in assessing and improving its underperforming supply chain operations. During their collaboration, Spartan identified fluctuations in the client’s workload and recognized that the current facility fell short of meeting the required demands. Taking proactive measures, Spartan Logistics’ real estate division identified a suitable 400,000 square foot property that perfectly aligned with the client’s needs. As a result, the client was able to transition from an 80,000 square foot leased building to a purchased property, offering the necessary flexibility to adapt to their evolving requirements.
