Lynx Logistics

What Lynx Logistics does

LYNX Logistics is a Northern California third-party logistics (3PL) provider operating a 96,000-square-foot mixed-use facility in Fremont, CA, located 25 minutes south of the Port of Oakland and adjacent to Silicon Valley. The company was founded in 2020 by Francisco Garcia, a former medical-device product design engineer, and was acquired by River Horse Logistics on September 30, 2024, after appointing Shane Salazar as its first CEO in May 2024 to lead national expansion. LYNX serves enterprise retailers, manufacturers, medical-device and biotech firms, hi-tech companies, and e-commerce businesses with eight integrated core services: warehousing, distribution and fulfillment, inventory and order management, transloading/cross-docking, local pickup and delivery, freight brokerage, customs-bonded storage, and secured yard storage.

The company's technology stack centers on a warehouse management system with EDI and API integration, an industry-leading ERP partnership providing real-time inventory and order visibility, and Verkada-powered AI video surveillance for facility security. LYNX differentiates through a dense regulatory and compliance portfolio — ISO 13485 (medical device), ISO 9001, TAPA, US CBP Class 3 Customs Bonded, AIB Food Grade, and NMSDC MBE — combined with 3.5 acres of secured yard storage, 8,500 rack and bulk pallet locations, and capacity to process over 600 cross-dock shipments per month.

LYNX generates revenue through a blended model: recurring monthly storage charges (per pallet or per package), transactional handling and fulfillment fees, freight brokerage commissions, and customs-bonded storage premiums. The customer base is enterprise-led, with named logos including Flexport and Savage Industries. GTM is sales-led with a new CEO driving national expansion under River Horse Logistics ownership.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• CEVA Logistics: Large global contract logistics and freight management provider. Salazar previously held sales management there. CEVA competes head-to-head with Lynx for supply chain contracts from manufacturers and retailers, but at meaningfully greater scale and geographic reach.
• SEKO Logistics: Global 3PL offering warehousing, fulfillment, and freight forwarding. Shane Salazar previously served as Managing Director at SEKO; Lynx competes for similar mid-market and enterprise warehousing/forwarding accounts, though SEKO operates at substantially greater scale.
• Radial: Large e-commerce fulfillment and omnichannel logistics provider owned by Belgian Post. Radial competes with Lynx for enterprise retailer and brand fulfillment contracts, with greater scale and multi-node capabilities.
• Crane Worldwide Logistics: Global supply chain solutions provider with warehousing, transportation, and customs services. Salazar previously led sales there; Crane competes for the same enterprise logistics RFPs as Lynx with a broader international footprint.

Direct peers

• ShipBob: Tech-enabled 3PL focused on e-commerce fulfillment and warehousing for small to mid-market brands. Competes with Lynx for e-commerce and omni-channel fulfillment customers, though ShipBob emphasizes distributed fulfillment centers versus Lynx's single high-value facility.
• Flexport: Digital freight forwarder and logistics platform that is also a publicly referenced Lynx customer. Flexport operates its own warehousing and transloading capabilities, making it both a partner and a potential competitor in customs bonded and drayage services.
• Verst Group Logistics: Mid-market 3PL offering warehousing, fulfillment, and transportation across multiple US facilities. Closely comparable in scale and service mix to Lynx, with multi-state operations providing geographic reach Lynx currently lacks.
• ProTrans: Mid-market 3PL providing warehousing, distribution, and transportation management. Comparable in size, service portfolio, and target customer profile to Lynx, particularly in value-added distribution and customized supply chain solutions.

Regional players

• Port Logistics Group: 3PL specializing in port-centric warehousing, transloading, and drayage. Closely comparable service mix to Lynx — including cross-docking and customs-adjacent services — but primarily serves East Coast/Gulf ports rather than the Bay Area.

Emerging players

• DAVACO: Provider of retail, hospitality, and logistics rollout/management services with overlap in fulfillment and white-glove delivery. Salazar previously held sales management there; DAVACO competes for portions of Lynx's white-glove medical device and retail fulfillment work.
