Communication is extremely important to me. I need to be able to plan my receipts in order to maximize my production. The team at UMF does a great job of keeping me informed and communicating promptly. Their follow through and timeliness is also great and helps my company immensely. I receive 3-5 containers a week in a 45K sq. ft. warehouse, some are floor stacked and some are not. Scheduling is key to my success and I really appreciate the flexibility and great customer service that UMF provides!
