We remove the 3 failure points that cause most apparel delays and cost overruns:

- Incorrect documentation before departure
- Misclassification at customs
- Lack of coordination across factories and origins

Connie Bourgeois
CEO of Conjetta Designs

Dedola is personal and always within reach. 

“Before working with Dedola, I felt like a “small fish”, working with a bigger company, and had no visibility into where my cargo was or when it would arrive.

Now, with the TRAKITPro portal and the ability to reach a real person whenever I need it, everything is so much easier."

William Quinn
President of Gemini Displays

I feel like I’m the biggest and sometimes the only customer

“We’ve been working with Dedola for five years, and even in our first year, we saw immediate savings in our spending.

I can easily check where my containers are, their status, and what’s happening at any time."

Jerry Coe
Owner of Coe Studios

Dedola keeps my shipments simple

"For 30 years, Dedola keeps my shipments simple and precise.

They help my vendors in Taiwan and they don’t even come to me when they have questions or feedback–they communicate with Dedola and soon the packages arrive."

Benjamin Lu
Managing Partner at A&C Trade

We’ve worked with them for over 20 years

“We ship from China and we have more than 10 different factories that deliver to Dedola’s warehouse.

They consolidate everything and handle any problems on our behalf, notifying us of any delays ahead of time. I don’t need to worry about the shipping.” 

Trusted by 500+ companies
across 190 countries

Avoid the mistakes that trigger delays, exams, and unexpected duties.

If you're chasing updates, your process is already broken.
