Third-Party Logistics

Overview of 3PL: What, who, why?

What is 3PL?
Outsourcing your logistics functions, like warehousing, transportation, and fulfilment, to a specialised service provider is third-party logistics, or simply 3PL. They can handle tasks ranging from goods storage, packing, and shipping to managing inventory and reverse logistics.
Who uses 3PL?
Businesses of all sizes can benefit from 3PL services, especially those in e-commerce that deal with goods storage and order fulfilment. This partnership can be the keystone for companies looking to scale without the burden of expanding their logistics operations internally.
Why is 3PL so important?
