What Logistique CAF inc. does

Logistique CAF inc. is a privately-held, founder-owned B2B outsourced logistics provider founded in 2006 by Frédéric Fortier and headquartered in Lévis, Quebec. The company operates four integrated service lines targeted at manufacturing and distribution companies in the Chaudière-Appalaches region and broader Quebec market: 3PL warehousing and handling across nearly 300,000 sq. ft. of facilities; transportation management via a 180-trailer GPS-equipped fleet and a network of carrier subcontractors; trailer rental in multiple configurations (36, 48, 53 ft, closed/curtain-side/flatbed, 2-4 axles); and logistics consulting. Named enterprise customers include Valero (energy), Bimbo (food), Umano Medical (healthcare), and Hydro-Québec (utilities); the company also targets specialized sectors such as defense, heavy industry, and construction by handling oversized items up to 40,000 lbs alongside standard pallets.

The technology stack centers on two proprietary assets: an in-house Warehouse Management System (WMS) being continuously enhanced with AI integration for automated order, transport, and inventory workflows, and a client web portal enabling inbound/outbound order creation, invoicing access, and real-time inventory visibility. A 60,000 sq. ft. warehouse is currently under construction to consolidate administrative and operational teams and provide yard capacity for further expansion, on top of existing operational footprints at multiple Lévis and St-Charles-de-Bellechasse sites.

The go-to-market is sales-led direct B2B with dedicated email contacts per service line, quote-based engagement, and 48-hour response guarantees. Revenue mechanics span managed-services fees on warehousing capacity (per-pallet or per-sq-ft economics), transaction-fee (percentage take-rate on carrier cost) on transportation management, rental fees on the trailer fleet, and professional services fees on consulting; a transparently published weekly fuel surcharge supplements transportation billing. The team size in the data is reported between 7 and 15 employees, suggesting heavy operational leverage from automation and from subcontracted carriers.
