Dedola

Dedola Global Logistics is an international freight forwarder headquartered in the United States, specializing in ocean and air freight services for established U.S. importers shipping regularly from Asia. Founded in 1976, the company has over 50 years of hands-on logistics experience and has served more than 20,000 clients across 100-plus industries, moving over one million full containers during its history. Now led by the second generation of family ownership and supported by a third generation of team members, Dedola operates as a deeply service-oriented logistics partner rather than a transactional broker.

The company's core ocean freight offerings include Full Container Load (FCL) direct shipments, Less than Container Load (LCL) standard and expedited options, deferred FCL and LCL services, and multimodal sea-air routing from Asia to the United States as well as intra-Asia lanes. Air freight services encompass direct and express, deferred, consolidated, and charter options designed for time-sensitive cargo. Across both modes, Dedola coordinates origin handling, consolidation, customs support, inland transportation, and final-mile delivery to U.S. destinations.

Beyond transportation execution, Dedola provides comprehensive supply chain management support including consulting, purchase order management, cargo insurance, tariff code review, customs coordination, and supplier communication. The company manages multi-factory consolidations, communicating directly with overseas vendors on behalf of importers to reduce client burden. Its proprietary technology platform, TRAKITPro, gives clients real-time shipment tracking, actionable supply chain data, continuous communication tools, and end-to-end visibility across all active shipments.

Dedola's primary target market is established U.S. importers moving between 30 and 1,400 TEU per year, particularly those seeking proactive planning, personalized service, and consistent visibility rather than commodity freight brokerage. The company emphasizes eliminating preventable disruptions—delays, surprise fees, last-minute changes—through advance planning and clear communication. Client testimonials highlight multi-decade relationships, immediate savings, and the ability for smaller importers to operate with the logistical sophistication of much larger enterprises. Dedola reports a 99.5% issue-free (detention and demurrage-free) shipment rate for 2025 shipments, reflecting its operational precision and proactive approach to exception management.
