Warehousing, Temperature-Controlled Storage and Distribution
Forward Systems Group operates a warehouse in Doral, Florida, minutes from Miami International Airport and PortMiami. It offers general palletized storage, temperature-controlled storage, and access-controlled storage for export-controlled defense articles awaiting licence approval, alongside inventory control, pick-pack, kitting and nationwide outbound distribution.
How Forward Systems Group runs warehousing & distribution
Where cargo sits matters more than most people expect. A component that needs a steady temperature, a defense article waiting on a licence, and a pallet of ordinary freight all want different things from a warehouse, and putting them in the same place is how damage and compliance problems start. Our Doral facility sits minutes from MIA and PortMiami, and we hold each consignment in the conditions its contents and its export status actually call for.
- 1
Place it correctly
Temperature-controlled, access-controlled or general storage, decided by what the cargo is and what its export status is, rather than by whichever space happens to be free that week.
- 2
Control the inventory
Receipt, put-away and stock records kept against the customer's own part numbers, with reporting into their systems where they need it rather than ours.
- 3
Pick, pack and build
Pick-pack, kitting and purchase order management, plus export packing and crating built in-house to the commodity rather than improvised at the terminal.
- 4
Move it out
Full and partial truckloads, over-dimensional and flatbed, heavy equipment, and museum exhibit and trade show logistics, tracked across the whole movement.
The same building that stages defense consignments waiting on licence approval handles everyday distribution work, under one access-controlled roof and one set of procedures. Our C-TPAT validated security program covers physical access, personnel screening, and container and seal integrity throughout.
Storage matched to what the cargo needs
Not everything can share a shelf. Temperature-sensitive components degrade quietly, and the damage usually surfaces at the far end, long after anyone can prove where it happened. Export-controlled defense articles waiting on licence approval need documented, access-controlled custody rather than an open floor. Ordinary freight simply needs to be somewhere dry, findable and secure.
We decide where a consignment sits on the basis of what is inside it and what its export status is. That call is made on receipt, not after something has gone wrong.

Distribution from the Miami gateway
From Doral we run domestic distribution nationwide, with tracking and tracing across the whole movement. That covers full and partial truckloads, over-dimensional and flatbed moves, heavy equipment transport, and museum exhibit and trade show logistics.
Sitting minutes from Miami International Airport and PortMiami is what makes the warehouse useful rather than merely available. Cargo can be consolidated here, held for as long as it needs to be held, and put on a flight or a vessel the same day it is released.
Warehousing & Distribution: frequently asked questions
Do you offer temperature-controlled storage?
Yes. Temperature-controlled storage is available at the Doral facility for components and commodities that cannot sit in ambient conditions. Tell us what the cargo is and the range it has to stay within, and we will confirm the arrangement before anything is received.
Can you store export-controlled cargo while a licence is pending?
Yes. Defense articles awaiting an export authorization are held in access-controlled storage with documented custody, which is the position most export-controlled consignments need while a DSP-5 or a BIS licence is being worked. Forward Systems Group is DDTC-registered under M28606 and C-TPAT validated under account 12723076.
Do you provide inventory management and fulfillment?
Yes. We provide inventory control, purchase order management, kitting, pick-pack, and outbound fulfillment, with reporting into the customer's own systems where that is required.
How close is the warehouse to the airport and the port?
The facility is in Doral, roughly nine minutes from Miami International Airport and a short run from PortMiami. That is what allows cargo to be consolidated, held, and then tendered to a flight or a vessel on the same day.
