What exactly is a 3PL?

Third-Party Logistic companies provide services that enable you to outsource supply chain operations such as warehousing, shipping and transportation, inventory management, and order fulfillment. Partnering with a 3PL can save you time and money by freeing up resources that allow you to focus on developing and selling your products.

How to choose a 3PL provider?

There are a few points that manufacturers should investigate before selecting a 3PL. First off, it’s critical to ensure that the 3PL provides the shipment modes, containers and vehicles needed to properly store and transport the kinds of products made by the manufacturer. Food and beverage manufacturers, for example, need temperature-controlled freights, which may not be available from every 3PL provider.

Are 3PLs worth the cost?

Yes! The value of a 3PL lies in how much easier it makes life for its manufacturing customers. Hiring a 3PL should certainly result in cost savings, but it should result in time and energy savings, as well. The 3PL should be able to handle the job with minimal action on the manufacturer’s part, and be easy to work with. There are always risks — or at the very least, complications — involved in bringing an outside party into the supply chain. Make sure that the 3PL is listening to specific customer needs, providing the most accurate shipment tracking technology and freeing up time for the manufacturer to pursue new innovations.
