In logistics terms, 3PL covers outsourced order management, collection, packaging, storage and delivery. The customer company can solely focus on their core business, i.e. developing their operations, sales and marketing. Outsourced logistics works in the background, and is a part of company operations to the extent that is required at that precise moment.
By outsourcing your logistics you can focus on growing your core business. Deliveries are sent out from our warehouse on a daily basis, ensuring fast deliveries. In the best case the order is delivered the next day.
The main benefit is without a doubt cost-effectiveness. The company does not need to invest into storage space, personnel or various machinery and systems. You can order the service in the precise form and size you see best fit your and your business’ requirements.
All orders, deliveries and operations can be tailored for any customer, all while a professional logistics operator works in the background providing timely delivery services.
The service suits companies of any size. For us, it’s equally important to serve small, new companies, as large corporations.
The ease of use of 3PL is the key reason why companies choose to integrate it into their processes. No matter if you are a small start-up with a product and a business idea in need of a logistics chain, or a large and growing company lacking the space and resources to operate with growing volume.
The 3PL concept suits practically all segments who deliver products to customers, e.g.: e-commerce sites, industry, construction companies, wholesalers, etc.
