The Essence of a Los Angeles 3PL

2020 and 2021 have been an extraordinarily challenging time for the supply chain and the logistics sector, already a competitive field in the best of conditions. In this atmosphere, it wouldn’t be surprising to find companies simply striving to hold their own against the unpredictable shocks in the market. For Westset Logistics, though, maintaining the status quo isn’t enough. Difficult circumstances call for a reinforced focus on quality, and we have to look no further than to our starting principles to guide our current actions.

Westset Logistics was founded by our president Guy Dominguez and his father over twenty years ago. As Southern California’s Class A 3PL, we’re committed to providing excellence in storage and materials handling for industrial and consumer products. That goal is informed by our number one value, which is customer service.

For both our domestic and international customers, we know that our work is not just about warehousing and shipping goods—it is about people. Our services connect the companies we work for to their customers. When we excel at what we do, our clients can conduct their business and plan for the future with confidence.

Growth and Innovation

As Westset Logistics has grown over the years, we’ve made renewed investments in capacity and technology to support the services we provide. In 2020, we moved into a state-of-the-art facility in Fullerton that allowed us to expand both our office and our warehouse space, joining our existing locations in Cerritos and Downey. This space was strategically chosen to not only maintain our proximity to LAX, the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles, and the greater Southern California area, but also to allow us to continue to grow without compromising the quality of our service.

Our values may be old-school, but our technology is not. From stocking and picking to shipping and receiving, all of our warehouse procedures have been streamlined and digitized to improve speed, accuracy, and efficiency. We take our responsibility to fulfill orders correctly the first time, every time, personally.

Our warehouse space is managed with DaVinci RAMP warehouse management software, giving our customers full visibility into their inventory in real time, whether they’re located across town or around the globe. Clients can access their data directly by logging in on our site, putting the fulfillment data they need to optimize ordering, sales, and marketing at their fingertips. The latest in digital transparency is not a substitute for the human touch, however. Every customer is assigned a dedicated account representative to ensure that responsive service is never more than an email or phone call away.

Inclusive Workplace

Progress isn’t measured only by technological advances. Historically, the logistics field has been male dominated. At Westset Logistics, we believe that opportunities for advancement should be determined by individual strengths, and not limited by gender, ethnicity, religion, age, sexual preference, or disability. Our organization benefits from the strong voices of women in leadership roles, including Tammy Stagnar Stagner, our VP of Operations, Laurie Salazar, our Chief Financial Officer, and Aide Chaidez-Sanano, our Sales Director. Together we have built a bilingual workplace with a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion, in which talent can be recognized and promoted wherever it is found.

Looking Ahead to 2022

While the year ahead may bring new challenges, one thing will remain the same. Westset Logistics will continue to provide superior warehousing, distribution, and last-mile logistics solutions to our partners with flexible, responsive, cost-effective service. From the first day we opened our doors to the modern day, we’ve worked continually to upgrade our capabilities to meet the challenges of the moment.

Westset Logistics has the technology, expertise, and personalized attention to deliver 3PL service that you can count on. We work individually with each of our clients to create customized solutions that meet their strategic needs.
