Bonded Service Warehouse

What Bonded Service Warehouse does

Bonded Service Warehouse is a family-owned third-party logistics (3PL) provider founded in 1931 in Atlanta, Georgia, and currently led by third-generation President Thomas H. Ghegan. The company operates over 1 million square feet of warehouse space across five facilities in metro Atlanta and two state-of-the-art facilities 14 miles from the Port of Savannah, offering an integrated suite of services: public warehousing (flexible short-term storage with 30-day minimums), contract warehousing (dedicated facilities with flat-fee pricing), order fulfillment, in-house transportation, and 24/7 web-based inventory management. Its technical infrastructure centers on a Warehouse Management System supporting barcode scanning, RFID tagging, lot code and production code tracking, food grade compliance, and SAP integration with 15+ years of deployment experience.

The company generates revenue through five primary streams: subscription-based public warehousing (monthly, flexible terms), subscription-based contract warehousing (multi-year flat-fee commitments), transaction-based order fulfillment services, transaction-based transportation (including container drayage from Port of Savannah at approximately 150 containers per month), and managed-service inventory management. It serves a diverse vertical mix including building products manufacturers, Fortune 500 retail products manufacturers, global technology firms, food products companies, chemicals and hazardous materials handlers, and importers/exporters — leveraging its customs bonded warehouse status, OSHA, haz-mat, and food grade certifications as regulatory moats. The go-to-market is consultative direct sales driven by website lead forms, phone outreach, referrals, and content marketing via blog and email newsletter, targeting enterprise and mid-market customers in the Southeast United States. The company drayages approximately 150 containers per month from the Port of Savannah and operates an in-house fleet of over 20 tractor trailers and 5 box trucks with drivers carrying a minimum of 10 years' experience and haz-mat transportation licenses.
