Choosing a 3PL Partner

Whether you’ve already decided to outsource your logistics services to a quality 3PL provider or are exploring the potential, here are some insights into selecting the right company.

First, there are five broad requirements you’ll want in your 3PL service provider. You’ll want a company that:

1. Smoothly receives and warehouses your company’s inventory in safe and secure ways
2. Manages your inventory well and provides you with visibility at every stage of the supply chain
3. Upon receiving order requests, accurately picks and packs them
4. Ships orders efficiently and cost-effectively in ways that build customer trust and maintain their high levels of satisfaction
5. Handles returns efficiently and professionally

Here are more detailed specifics about what you should expect from your choice of a 3PL company:

Streamlined Inventory Management: Your 3PL partner should maintain careful records of incoming inventory organized by type and quantity, and labeled with clear identification for audit purposes. As you grow and expand into new markets, having a flexible 3PL partner is ideal to help you scale inventory demand.

Simplified Order Processing: The key to seamless order fulfillment is modern warehouse management software to ensure the right products are picked and packed with accuracy. Reverse logistics and exception management require the right technology to manage returns and tracked shipments.

Cost-Effective Shipping: Competitive pricing for timely shipments of products, transporting cargo safely and securely within regulated guidelines,

Comprehensive Value-Added Services to Maximize Efficiency: Services such as inspection, kitting, labeling and relabeling, manufacturing support, assembly, postponement, product adjustments, rework and test services are essential to processing quality shipments.
