What are 3PLs?
3PLs ( third-party logistics providers) are an essential player in the supply chain for many companies. The process works by putting in the order, and the 3PL is the one to fulfill the order. The process is uncomplicated, seamless, and valuable to customers. Also, a 3PL is a link for supply chains that outsource a portion or the entirety of a brand’s distribution and fulfillment solutions.
Finally, 3PLs receive new items from the manufacturer before the shipping stage. As well, they can manage retail distribution and any returns.
When are 3PLs necessary?
If you’re unsure whether a 3PL is necessary for your warehousing facility, consider the following:
Do you fulfill more than 10 to 20 orders each day?
If your answer is yes, then determine the costs of working with a 3PL and if it will improve your profit margin. Then, estimate any growth potential or opportunities you cannot currently pursue when outsourcing fulfillment.
Are you running low on expensive inventory storage space?
It’s essential to include storage costs when calculating expenses for fulfillment purposes. Be sure to make a comparison with your current prices with any estimates from 3PLs. After that, decide if bundling the costs with outsourcing will end up saving you more in the end.
Is your infrastructure able to meet demand?
If you anticipate that your order volume will keep increasing, you’ll want to estimate headcount and costs to meet demand. Then, make a comparison of the costs if you outsource fulfillment.
What 3PL providers are out there?
When it comes to 3PL providers, they generally will offer the following:
  • Full service
  • Warehousing and transportation
