Tee It Up for The Troops: Honoring Our Nation’s Heroes

Honoring Heroes

At Perimeter Global Logistics (PGL), honoring those who have sacrificed for our freedom is a core part of who we are. Beyond our logistics operations, we prioritize supporting our nation’s heroes in tangible ways. This commitment shines through events like the annual Tee It Up for The Troops golf tournament, where we gather to celebrate and give back to veterans and their families.

Tee It Up for The Troops: Supporting Veterans Across America

Tee It Up for The Troops was founded in 2005 as a military non-profit, responding to a soldier’s request to support returning service members and their families. Since then, it has raised over $16 million to aid veterans from all branches and conflicts. The organization’s initiatives, such as the REUNION Outreach Program, facilitate crucial reunions for combat veterans. These gatherings are instrumental in helping veterans heal from the invisible wounds of war like depression, isolation, and post-traumatic stress.

In addition to the REUNION Outreach Program, Tee It Up for The Troops partners with and supports vetted military non-profit and service organizations across the nation. Their work focuses on six critical pillars of support: family and caregiver support, PTSD and traumatic brain injury, housing and homelessness, employment, golf and sports rehabilitation, and suicide prevention. Each pillar addresses a unique aspect of the challenges faced by veterans, ensuring a comprehensive approach to their well-being.

Our Commitment at PGL

Aligned with Tee It Up for The Troops’ mission, PGL proudly sponsors the 4th annual North Texas Tee It Up for The Troops benefit golf tournament on September 30th. Each swing and donation at this event supports our veterans and their families, making a meaningful impact on their lives. We are honored to be part of this cause, knowing that our efforts contribute to the betterment of those who have bravely served our country.

Honoring Our Own

As part of our commitment, we also take the opportunity to honor PGL employees who have served in the military before joining our dynamic team. Their dedication and service inspire us and embody the values we hold dear. This event is a chance to recognize their contributions and the unique perspectives they bring to our organization.

A Heartfelt Thank You

We extend a heartfelt thank you to all who have served our country. Your bravery and sacrifice inspire us every day. To everyone supporting this event and contributing to its success, thank you for your generosity and commitment to our veterans. Your involvement helps create a positive impact that extends far beyond the golf course.

Stay tuned for updates and highlights from the 4th annual North Texas Tee It Up for The Troops benefit golf tournament. We look forward to sharing the success of this meaningful event and continuing our support for those who have served our country selflessly.

Why a Major League Baseball Team Chose to Do Business with a 3PL

A Major League Team Means Major Responsibility

When the Texas Rangers needed a logistics partner capable of handling their most critical shipments, they turned to Perimeter Global Logistics (PGL). As the Official Supply Chain Partner of the Texas Rangers, PGL’s expertise in managing complex logistics operations made us the ideal choice. Our role is to ensure that the Rangers can focus on their game without worrying about the movement of their essential equipment and promotional items. Here’s why the Rangers place their trust in PGL for all their logistics needs.

Why the Rangers Trust PGL

Trusted Advisor and Logistics Expertise: PGL is more than just a logistics provider; we are a trusted advisor to the Texas Rangers. Our deep understanding of logistics and supply chain management allows us to offer strategic insights and innovative solutions tailored to the specific needs of the team. This advisory role enhances our partnership, providing the Rangers with confidence that their logistics operations are in expert hands. Our expertise ensures that every logistical challenge is met with a strategic solution, reinforcing the trust and confidence the Rangers have in PGL.

Reliability and Efficiency: The Rangers require a logistics partner they can rely on, and PGL has consistently proven our ability to deliver. Our efficient processes and proactive approach ensure minimal downtime and maximum operational efficiency. By making logistics easier for the Rangers, we allow them to focus solely on their performance. They never have to worry about whether their gear or promotional items will be ready and available—PGL ensures everything is precisely where it needs to be, exactly when it’s needed.

Comprehensive Services: PGL provides a full suite of services tailored to the unique needs of a Major League Baseball team. From managing equipment logistics for away games to handling promotional items for home games, our comprehensive approach ensures that the Rangers have everything they need, exactly when they need it.

Attention to Detail: In the world of professional sports, every detail matters. PGL’s meticulous planning and execution ensure that nothing is left to chance. Our ability to anticipate and address potential issues before they arise is a key reason why the Rangers trust us with their logistics needs.

Comprehensive and Efficient Logistics

Spring Training in Surprise, Arizona, marks the beginning of the baseball season and requires the transportation of vast amounts of equipment. PGL reengineered the process to make it an efficient two-hour operation by implementing a palletized system, significantly improving time efficiency and reducing the logistical burden on the team, allowing them to focus on their rigorous training schedule.

Playing 81 away games in a season presents significant logistical challenges. PGL coordinates the transportation of equipment to ensure that everything needed for the next game is ready and waiting. Often, we start moving equipment while the team is still on the field, showcasing our proactive approach and meticulous planning. This seamless coordination gives the Rangers peace of mind, knowing their equipment will be where they need it, when they need it.

Home games at Globe Life Field are more than just about the game; they are about creating memorable experiences for the fans. PGL manages the warehousing and fulfillment of promotional items, shifting from a “just-in-time” to a “just-in-case” methodology to ensure these items are always available when needed. This proactive approach ensures smooth operations and no surprises for the fans or the team.

A Decade of Trusted Partnership

For over ten years, PGL has been the Official Logistics Partner of the Texas Rangers. This longstanding relationship is a testament to our ability to deliver fast, efficient, and reliable logistics services. Our personal touch and attention to detail ensure that everything runs smoothly, from Spring Training to the last game of the season. This decade-long partnership underscores the trust and confidence the Rangers have in PGL.

PGL and the Art of Hospitality Logistics: From Vision to Reality

The World of Hospitality

In the bustling world of hospitality, where every detail matters, the pursuit of excellence is not merely an aspiration but an expectation. Just as a master chef meticulously crafts each dish or a concierge orchestrates a seamless guest experience, at PGL (Perimeter Global Logistics), we understand the intricate role of logistics within the hospitality sector. With our comprehensive suite of services, we don’t just deliver goods; we curate experiences, elevate spaces, and ensure that every element aligns flawlessly to create unforgettable moments.

Quality Service

At the heart of our approach lies a commitment to quality

that echoes the sentiments of writer and philosopher John Ruskin: “Quality is never an accident. It is always the result of an intelligent effort.” You can see intelligent effort in everything we do at PGL. From the moment we engage with a client to the final delivery and beyond. Just as a masterful host anticipates the needs of their guests, we anticipate the needs of our clients and tailor our services to exceed their expectations. PGL seamlessly coordinates between designers, contractors, and vendors to bring visions to life. From handling large furniture to delicate fixtures, our expertise in FF&E (Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment) and OS&E (Operating Supplies and Equipment) ensures that every element is delivered with precision and care.

PGL’s Project Prowess

Take, for example, the Murrieta project, where PGL’s logistical prowess was put to the test. With tight deadlines and high expectations, our team choreographed the various components of the projects, ensuring that each element arrived punctually and in impeccable condition. From coordinating international shipments to organizing white-glove deliveries, we left no stone unturned in our pursuit of excellence.

A Commitment to Quality

But our commitment to quality extends beyond logistics; it’s ingrained in our culture. Just as a renowned chef selects the finest ingredients, we handpick our partners and suppliers to ensure that every aspect of our service meets the highest standards. Whether it’s shipping and crating or installation and removal, our attention to detail sets us apart as a trusted partner in the hospitality industry.

In a world where every interaction is an opportunity to make a lasting impression, PGL stands as a beacon of reliability and excellence. Just as a memorable stay leaves guests longing to return, our seamless logistics solutions leave clients confident in their choice to entrust their supply chain to us. From domestic freight to global shipping, from warehousing to liquidation, PGL is more than a logistics company; we’re a partner in the pursuit of perfection.

So, whether you’re a boutique hotel embarking on a renovation or a global resort launching a new property, trust PGL to deliver more than just goods—we deliver experiences. Because, as John Ruskin so eloquently stated, excellence is not an accident; it’s a deliberate choice, and at PGL, we choose excellence every step of the way.
