Known for their innovative technology and customer-first approach, Argents has built a reputation for delivering efficient, end-to-end logistics services. However, even industry leaders like Argents face challenges when business demands fluctuate unexpectedly.

Decades of Leadership in Logistics: About Argents
Argents offers a full suite of logistics and warehouse management services, supporting businesses across industries with tailored solutions. From traditional freight forwarding to modern e-commerce fulfillment, Argents has nearly 50 years of expertise in managing complex logistics challenges.
The company operates a 100,000-square-foot warehouse facility in Charleston, SC, that services both domestic and international clients. With advanced warehouse management systems and a deeply integrated technology stack, Argents provides their customers with unmatched visibility and control over their inventory.
In September 2020, Argents Fulfillment first partnered with Workbox Staffing to help address a critical need for temporary labor. Since then, Argents has relied on Workbox Staffing to fill labor gaps, accommodate special projects, and bring in experienced workers at scale on short notice.
The Challenge: Dynamic Labor Needs in a Complex Environment
The nature of Argents' work means their labor requirements can fluctuate based on new projects or incoming customer contracts. Sometimes, this necessitates a quick turnaround for their staffing needs. For example, Argents reached out on a Friday afternoon with an urgent request for Workbox Staffing to find experienced temporary workers who would be ready to start by 8:00 AM the following Monday to fulfill a new contract requirement.
Adding to the complexity, Argents operates with a lean team. This means Workbox Staffing needed to find skilled workers, while also ensuring they fit seamlessly into a small, tight-knit crew.
Argents needed a staffing partner who could respond quickly, adapt to their changing needs, and consistently deliver top-tier talent to maintain operational excellence. Workbox Staffing met these requests using their high-tech, high-touch recruitment process to develop an extensive pipeline of highly qualified and vetted candidates.
