Supporting Surfside Iced Tea Vodka’s RTD Expansion

October 21, 2025



Surfside Iced Tea Vodka is a fast-growing RTD brand known for its refreshing flavor and sleek packaging. As demand surged, Surfside needed a logistics partner capable of scaling with their growth while maintaining product integrity and retail readiness. That’s where we stepped in.

 

Challenge

Surfside required a comprehensive solution to:

  • Efficiently carton their RTD cans into retail-ready formats
  • Manage outbound freight across multiple regions
  • Store and distribute inventory with speed and accuracy

They needed a partner who could handle the complexity of beverage logistics while supporting their brand’s premium image.

 

Our Solution

1. VP Cartoning for Retail-Ready Packaging

  • Consistent presentation
  • Secure transit packaging
  • Shelf-ready appeal for retailers

2. Freight Management Across the U.S.

Our logistics team coordinates all outbound freight, optimizing routes and carrier selection to ensure timely delivery. We provide:

  • Real-time tracking
  • Proactive communication
  • Cost-effective transportation solutions

3. Warehousing & Distribution

We store Surfside’s inventory in strategically located facilities, enabling:

  • Faster fulfillment
  • Reduced shipping costs
  • Scalable storage for seasonal demand

Our inventory systems offer full visibility, allowing Surfside to forecast and replenish with confidence.

 

Results

  • Improved speed-to-market for new product launches
  • Reduced freight costs through optimized routing
  • Enhanced retail presentation with consistent cartoning
  • Scalable logistics infrastructure to support national growth
