1. You can focus on your core.

If warehousing and shipping are just part of your business and it is not the core or the center of it, then leaving the process to your 3PL warehouse will give you more time to deal with other business’ operations such as marketing, sales, product development and customer service.

2. Reducing your risk.

Every area of your company comes with all kinds of risks. From your sales department to the marketing operations – everything is exposed to risks. If you are outsourcing your warehouse and shipping, you can remove yourself from worrying about the risks of these operations because your 3PL company will handle it for you.

3. Enjoy better systems and performance.

3PL warehouses’ main operation is warehousing and shipping products. They have everything that is needed to be more effective and competitive with their business. They invest in the latest technology that is related in managing inventory, pick, pack and ship. If you will work with them and let the company handle your warehouse and shipping operations, you can take advantage of their leading technology without investing a large part of your company’s budget.

4. Cost reduction in terms of storage.

You may not realize it in the first glance, but your company saves and reduces costs with hiring a 3PL warehouse company. Most businesses do a cyclical sale. There is a time that a business does more inventory. So, if you are doing your own warehouse and shipping operation, you will need to have a larger space that you will hold your large inventory. If you don’t own a space, then leasing one will be required. So, you will end up increasing the cost for you those two operations. With 3PL, they can mix and manage various clients with different peaks, making you pay for what you have only used.

5. Cost reduction in terms of labor.

The same thing with storage, if you are in the peak of your inventory, you will need more labor and workforce to do it if you choose not to deal with a 3PL company. You have to spend time looking for more people who will work for you and then reduce them again after the peak time. If you opt for 3PL, you don’t have to worry about labor during your peak because they are being spread to many customers and can work for your operations if it is needed.

6. Better use of capital.
