Automotive Warehouse Distribution Services
Sequencing
At R&S, we assist the automotive industry by managing the precise timing and delivery of parts through sequencing. We:
- Coordinate with your suppliers

All of this helps ensure that parts arrive in the correct order and at the right time, optimizing production efficiency.
Labeling
We relabel your manufactured products for a streamlined process for the end user. Also known as blind copy, our team removes the OEM’s labels and replaces them with your own.
Kanban
R&S can accommodate your company’s kanban system for getting parts to the production line by utilizing visual cues and replenishment signals to trigger timely part deliveries. The end result is a Just-in-Time supply of components that optimize inventory levels, reduce waste, and improve production efficiency for your business.
The Benefits of an Automotive Warehouse in the Southeast
Another key benefit is the network of major interstates in the regions. This includes I-75, I-40, and I-85, enhancing accessibility and efficient transportation. Major airports offer expedited air freight options from an automotive warehouse, like those in:
- Memphis, TN
- Louisville, KY
- Miami, FL
R&S Logistics gives you close access to the Atlantic coastline and vital ports like Savannah and Charleston. This opens up improved opportunities for maritime transportation while boosting flexibility and operational reach for our clients.
The Southeast’s mild climate ensures year-round auto parts fulfillment from the warehouse to its destination. This reduces the risk of weather-related disruptions prevalent in northern regions while reliably supporting the consistent fulfillment of customer demands.
States like North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, and Georgia cultivate a business-friendly environment for the automotive industry, boasting:
- Favorable policies
- Robust infrastructure
- Skilled labor pools
Collaborating with a 3PL headquartered in the Southeast United States provides access to local automotive warehouse expertise and resources. It helps optimize your operational efficiency and bolster your competitiveness in the auto parts business.
