RTW Logistics

What RTW Logistics does

RTW Logistics Inc. is a non-asset-based freight forwarder and third-party logistics (3PL) provider, incorporated in California and headquartered operationally at 1500 Citywest Blvd., Houston, TX (with a Carson, CA legal entity address). The company serves import/export businesses and domestic shippers by offering an integrated suite of services covering ocean freight (Full Container Load, Less-than-Container Load, Break Bulk), air freight, trucking (Full Truck Load, Less-than-Load, drayage), warehousing, customs brokerage and compliance, and cargo insurance. Two warehouses in Stockton, CA and Seattle, WA are equipped with Warehouse Management System (WMS) software for inventory visibility; three additional warehouses operate in Somerset, NJ; Dundalk, MD; and Houston, TX. The company does not own transportation assets, instead coordinating shipments through a network of carriers and worldwide agent offices.

The company's international footprint is unusually broad for its headcount of approximately 175 employees. Beyond the US, RTW maintains a regional headquarters in Mumbai with multiple India offices (Pune, Nagpur, Ahmedabad, Gandhidham, New Delhi, Kolkata, Tuticorin, Jaipur, Bangalore), and wholly-owned subsidiaries under the 'RTW GLOBAL' brand in Singapore (RTW GLOBAL PTE LTD), Indonesia (PT RTW GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAIN INDONESIA), and Thailand (RTW GLOBAL LOGISTICS (THAILAND) LTD.). The India operation includes dedicated Air, Ocean, and Sea Clearing divisions. A quote-based sales motion drives customer acquisition through a 'Get a Quote' web form and inbound phone contact (+1-844-307-1907), supplemented by content marketing (industry news/blog), newsletter, and organic social presence on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram.

RTW operates on multiple revenue streams: transactional freight forwarding fees (ocean/air/trucking), managed-services warehouse revenue (four US facilities), professional services fees for customs brokerage and compliance, and add-on professional fees for cargo insurance. Pricing is custom and quote-based with no publicly disclosed rates; the company offers a PayCargo integration for invoice payments via secure QR-code portal. The technology stack is non-differentiated — standard WMS for warehousing and a third-party Wisegrid WebTracker for shipment visibility — with no APIs, SDKs, or proprietary AI/ML capabilities disclosed. No funding rounds, M&A activity, or institutional investors appear in the source data, indicating RTW is privately held and appears to be funded organically.
