Masterpiece International launches its LCL advantage service

Apr 04, 2023

Masterpiece is excited to announce its LCL Advantage Service, a distinctive solution that will help stabilize supply chains amid ever-changing capacity and uncertain markets. Traditionally, Less than a Container-Load (LCL) services allow customers to only pay for the volume of their shipment, not unused space, while giving them the flexibility to move their cargo whenever and wherever is needed. Masterpiece LCL Advantage takes this to another level by offering:

  • Improved Transit Time: Less freight congestion and direct moves, eliminating multiple touch points for quicker delivery, on average 3-5 days faster than typical LCL services.
  • Expedited Delivery: Upgraded service for urgent shipments with product and service teams synchronizing transfers and devanning on schedule.
  • More Control: Masterpiece's LCL Service ties directly to their online visibility platform Atlas, so shippers and consignees can manage shipments and forecast future bookings, with complete visibility and more flexibility.
  • Cost Advantage: Established network and process for optimization that helps reduce costs for its customers.
  • Sustainability: Consolidating shipments reduces carbon emissions by increasing container utilization.

"This isn't your typical LCL service offering," said Thomas Gilgen, President of Masterpiece International Logistics Solutions. "We build our own consol boxes - these exclusive bookings ensure reliable transit times and attractive rates for our customers' shipments, enhancing their supply chain resiliency and predictability."

Masterpiece's Priority Ocean Services Group leverages a global network and skilled workforce to optimize ocean freight builds with efficient operations, creating maximum value for their customers. Plus, they can easily integrate LCL Advantage with any of their service offerings, getting products to market even faster. Masterpiece International's managed Interior Point Intermodal (IPI) network provides comprehensive coverage from origins in China and Taiwan to destinations throughout North America.
