What ORSHAR does

ORSHAR is a privately held third-party logistics (3PL) company founded in 1985 and headquartered in Ashdod, Israel. The company operates five logistics centers and two bonded warehouses with a combined storage footprint of approximately 70,000-90,000 square meters, located in Ashdod, Nir Galim, Bnei Darom, and Kfar Aviv — positioned near Ashdod seaport and Ben Gurion airport. Its service portfolio covers the full inbound-to-last-mile value chain: storage (standard, temperature-controlled at -18/+4/+18°C, bulk, picking galleries, container yard), inbound container handling and unstuffing, freight forwarding (FCL/LCL sea and air via subsidiary ORSHAR International Forwarding Ltd.), customs clearance, bonded warehouse storage, value-added services such as plug replacement and labeling for Israeli market compliance, and a self-managed distribution fleet of 50+ trucks reaching 800+ locations daily across Israel with B2B and B2C capabilities.

The operational backbone is a proprietary Warehouse Management System (WMS) developed and maintained by the company's in-house IS&T department. The WMS integrates warehouse management, inventory tracking, customer order processing, order picking, distribution, and proof of delivery, running on barcode scanners with barcoded locations and offering a web interface for live customer access. It is capable of interfacing with any customer's ERP system, making it the integration layer between ORSHAR and its enterprise clients. The company employs approximately 300 people and holds ISO 9001:2000 certification subject to annual review. A 2019-established subsidiary, OR-OC AIR LTD, extends the offering into air export, DROP shipments, dangerous goods, and express courier services.

ORSHAR's business model is entirely service-based (managed services). Revenue streams include square-meterage and duration fees for warehousing, per-shipment fees for freight forwarding, per-delivery fees for distribution, and project-based fees for value-added product adaptation. Customer segmentation spans enterprise accounts (Hi-tech, Low Tech, general industry, importers, exporters, customs brokers, shipping companies) and a retail/private consumer segment served through two call centers. The go-to-market is direct sales with scope-of-work customization and service-level agreements. The company operates as a one-stop shop from ex-factory anywhere globally to end-customer delivery in Israel, and its distribution coverage claims 100% geographic reach within Israel.
