Third party logistics or 3PL is a service that enables enterprises to outsource or make use of third -party businesses to carry out tasks to completion in its supply chain.
- 3PL providers are companies that offer comprehensive and even one-stop solutions for enterprise supply chains in packaging, warehousing, transportation and order fulfilment.
- 3PLs can identify and fill the gaps in your supply chain.
- Their expertise, best practices and technologies can integrate into your business processes to solve the most complex challenges in logistics management and make your supply chain a more agile, responsive function — a necessity in today’s uncertain market environment.
Working with a 3PL provider is a partnership and must be treated as such rather than as a transactional relationship.
