Factors to Consider When Outsourcing Your Logistics Services | PL Solutions

Key Obstacles for 3rd Party Logistics Businesses | PL Solutions

Outsourcing supply chain operations and logistics to get a company's products to their customers is known as third-party logistics. Receiving, storing, packaging, and shipping services are among the logistics services provided by 3PLs. Other logistical services, known as value added services, are provided by some 3PL businesses. Inventory management, kitting and assembly, postponed packing, procurement, and other services are among them.

Types of 3PL

Transportation

Inventory shipments between manufacturers and your warehouse, or between your company and your buyers, are handled by 3PLs who specialize in transportation services. Freight forwarders, who frequently transfer huge shipments from one country to another, and small parcel shippers, such as UPS, FedEx, and USPS, fall under this category.

Warehousing,Fulfillment & Distribution

Basic fulfillment services such as storage, fulfillment, pick and pack, shipment, and refunds are provided by this type of 3PL. Sellers outsource all or most of their fulfillment and warehousing needs to this sort of 3PL. Furthermore, most of these 3PLs handle the seller's transportation, determining which shipper to use, managing the shipper's relationship, and optimizing the shipping plan on the seller's behalf.
