What OLA Logistics does

OLA Logistics is a US-based third-party logistics (3PL) provider specializing in cross-border trade between the United States and Mexico. The company operates from two warehouse facilities — a 115,000 sq ft site with 30 loading/unloading doors and 6 forklifts at #12220 Paseo Del Este Blvd., El Paso, TX, and a secondary site at #13101 Spivey Dr., Laredo, TX — supported by a 42-person workforce. Its service portfolio spans warehousing and storage, customs brokerage (entries, electronic manifests, ISF filing, ACE entries, FDA filings), Free-Trade Zone (FTZ) operations, bond sales (single entry and continuous), in-bond cargo handling, hazmat handling, and import/export management documentation.

The company's technology layer is a cloud-based Warehouse & Inventory System offering real-time inventory visibility, Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI), client portal access for uploading packing slips, invoices and pictures, and instant documentation receipt. The "Owned Space in Warehouse" model assigns each customer a designated storage location to support organized retrieval. Operations are ISO 9001:2015 certified for receiving, storage, shipping and customs documentation processes at the El Paso site.

OLA Logistics generates revenue through transaction-fee pricing across its service lines (warehousing, customs brokerage, FTZ, bonds, in-bond transport, hazmat handling), with quote-based contracts tailored to individual customer requirements rather than published rate cards. The go-to-market is direct B2B sales targeting importers, exporters, cross-border trading companies and freight forwarders. OLA Logistics is a privately held subsidiary of Grupo Palco, a diversified conglomerate providing cross-border foreign trade services, and operates alongside related entity MAYA - Servicios Globales Logísticos within the broader Palco network.
