The Southshore Companies, a St. Joseph, Michigan based third party logistics and real estate development group of businesses, knows about competition.  Competition today requires some manufacturers to become warehousers and some warehousers to become even more to their customers.

Southshore designed a unique just-in-time parts delivery system to fit the logistics requirements of one of Southshore's major customers.  Southshore implemented an off-site vendor managed inventory (VMI) warehouse for a tier-one auto supplier that consolidates supplier inventory in a single Southshore location for as needed delivery to production lines.

Southshore is a 3PL provider offering warehousing logistics, dedicated transportation services and real estate leasing and development services in Michigan, Indiana, Ohio and Connecticut.
