Since Latvia’s accession to the European Union, the control over alcohol turnover has progressively become more stringent. Warehouse processing of goods has also become more thorough and intricate. Atlas, responsible for the accurate clearance of cargo before both Latvian and Russian customs, has earned a reputation as one of the most reliable excise warehouses. We process up to 70-80 vehicles per month and possess substantial growth potential. We invest in training new employees, renting additional space, and expanding our partnerships offering transport and logistics services. The introduction of a new technology for affixing excise stamps to alcohol has significantly enhanced productivity by 70%. The majority of our warehouse clients consistently utilize this technology, resulting in increased turnover and product range year after year. A comprehensive program provides detailed information about the availability and movement of goods within our warehouses (for each item) at any time, on any archived date, commencing from 2009. This service is an integral part of our offerings and is highly sought after.

This was one of the first groups of goods that were served by “Atlas”. The best testament to our professionalism - we work with major importers. So, for a few years we kept an intermediate storage position for consumer electronics chain “Eldorado” in Riga, making direct delivery batches for stores across Russia. We have implemented the registration by articles program, through which we exchange information on the movement of goods and reconcile balances. Booking of lorries, accepting goods into the warehouse and release from the warehouse was carried out on schedule. Atlas defended the interests of the client, adjusted to the change of customs codes and regulations of the Russian Federation on time, as well as offered discounts on selected services.

On the "offshore area" of the customs warehouse, it is beneficial to reload and pack the furniture, because one part damage may take out a whole set from circulation. It is important for the client, that after a long sea shipment, “Atlas” has accepted the freight to the warehouse, sorted and completely processed it. This minimizes the loss of the imports, for which we have drying equipment, the possibility to set aside the broken parts until new ones are received, or for their disposal, and storing the goods in closed premises with special temperature conditions. Inspecting and recording packaging defaults during the unloading process helps to detect defects and shortage in a package. Standard rules of “Atlas” for accepting furniture affixed photo documentation of every step we make, so all costumer complaints can be solved instantly or avoided at all. Often, on the recommendations of our experts, vendors introduce changes in packaging to prevent damages and breaking of expensive goods. If necessary, “Atlas” also undertakes to repackage the product so that the client has no worry about the customs clearance process and safe and sound delivery of a package to its destination in the CIS. Our warehouse workers will patiently and carefully load every available inch inside a truck’s trailer, dramatically reducing transportation costs per unit.

Brands like Valentino, Nina Ricci, Paul & Joe are brought to the heated “Atlas” warehouses in small batches (2-3 boxes) from different parts of the world. We receive air cargo from the United States, Japan, South Korea, and Pakistan, while ensuring packaging integrity control, and if necessary – a single-piece test, recalculation of the goods and all obligatory photography, promptly reporting the shortages, so that the customer would be able to take steps regarding the supplier. Our freight forwarders also are entrusted with a batching in Europe and general transportation from France, Italy and other fashion centers.
