Inbound Supply & Outbound Distribution · Canada & USA
Raw materials and parts arriving when production needs them. Finished goods leaving the day they are made. Storage held off site so your floor space stays for building things, moving into the same distribution network as our reliable wholesale logistics clients.

The Two Directions
Freight into a factory and freight out of it are usually treated as separate problems. Outbound gets the attention, because customers complain when an order is late. Inbound is often left to suppliers, who pick the carrier, add their own margin and bill it back as a line on a material invoice. That means you pay for freight you never chose, arriving on days you did not pick, in quantities that do not match what you are building. When both directions sit with one partner, collections can be combined, delivery days can be set around production, and you can finally see what your freight actually costs, the same visibility we give our professional retail logistics clients shipping to stores and distributors.
Floor Space
Every pallet of raw material or finished stock sitting inside a factory occupies space that could hold a machine, a work cell or a staging area. Manufacturers rarely count the cost, because the building is already paid for. Then production needs to expand, and that stored stock becomes the reason a new line will not fit. Moving storage off site changes the picture. Materials are held in a warehouse nearby and released to the plant in the quantities and on the days production actually calls for, using the same controlled conditions behind our professional cold chain logistics and cold logistics services where temperature-sensitive inputs are involved. Finished goods leave the building as soon as they are made and wait somewhere else until an order is released. Plants that make this change often find they already have the room they were about to lease a second building to get.
Our Services
Supply into the plant, distribution out of it, and storage on either side.

What We Handle
From bulk inputs at one end to finished pallets and oversized equipment at the other.
Raw Materials & Bulk Inputs
Components & Subassemblies
Packaging, Cartons & Dunnage
Finished Goods On Pallets
Machinery & Production Equipment
Oversized & Overweight Loads
Tooling, Moulds & Dies
Returnable Totes, Racks & Empties
Three of these are worth raising before we quote. Oversized and overweight loads may need flatbed or step deck trailers, permits and a planned route, so lead time matters far more than it does for standard pallets. Tooling, moulds and dies are heavy for their size and often impossible to replace quickly, which changes how they are secured and insured rather than simply how they are loaded. And if paints, solvents, adhesives or batteries are part of your inbound mix, say so early, because those fall under dangerous goods rules, handled to the same standard as our reliable pharmaceutical logistics work, and are documented and loaded differently.
What Matters Most
Inbound materials arriving on the days and in the quantities your build schedule calls for, rather than whenever a supplier’s carrier happens to be passing.
Suppliers ship on your account and your routing instead of theirs, so loads can be combined and the cost is yours to see.
Buffer stock held in a nearby warehouse and released in small drops, so the floor stays clear without risking a shortage.
Booked dock appointments, correct paperwork and drivers who know your site, whether they are delivering to you or collecting from you.
Flatbed, step deck and crated freight handled alongside standard pallets, with permits and routing arranged where the load needs them.
Canada and USA customs documents prepared in advance, since most Ontario manufacturing supply chains cross the border in one direction or both.
Pricing
Priced on what moves, how often, and how much space you need on either side of production.

Kitting, crating, labelling or export packing
Send us your inbound suppliers, your outbound lanes and roughly how much you need to store. We will price the whole flow rather than one leg of it.
Client Feedback
“We were paying our suppliers’ freight charges without ever seeing a rate. Moving inbound onto ENorth’s account and combining the collections took a real amount out of our material cost, and deliveries now land on the days we actually build.”

“Finished pallets used to sit in the plant for weeks waiting on customer release dates. They now leave the building the day they are made. We got a whole bay back and put a second press in it.”

Common Questions
Everything that moves in and out of a factory. Inbound raw materials, parts and packaging on one side, finished goods going to customers on the other, and the storage and handling that sits between them.
Yes. Your suppliers ship on our account and follow routing instructions agreed with you, which lets us combine collections and gives you one rate you can see instead of a markup buried in a material invoice.
Yes. Stock is held in a warehouse and released to you in the quantities and on the days you ask for, so you keep the supply without keeping the pallets.
Yes. Routes are built backwards from the arrival window you need, and dock appointments are booked where your receiving requires them.
Yes, using flatbed and step deck trailers, with permits and route planning arranged where the load needs them. Give us dimensions and weight early, because lead time on oversized freight is longer.
Yes. Parts can be picked, grouped and packed into kits in the warehouse, so they arrive at the line ready to use rather than needing to be sorted first.
Yes, including booked delivery appointments, pallet labelling and the packing standards larger receivers ask for.
Yes, in both directions, with customs paperwork prepared before the load moves so it is not sitting at the border waiting on documents.
You hear about it while it is still moving rather than after it has missed the window. For a genuine line-down situation, a dedicated vehicle can be dispatched the same day.
