3PL - Social Third Party Logistics
3PL stands for Third Party Logistics. The term 3PL Logistics is also often used. When you talk about 3PL, you are talking about several logistics services under one umbrella. A company that uses these logistics services chooses one logistics service provider. Chain Logistics is such a service provider and provides multiple logistics services for customers such as transport, warehouse and assembly. If you need more than one logistics solution, 3PL offers it.
What does a 3PL service provider do?
The moment a customer makes a sale, the product -provided with the right packaging- must arrive at its destination at the right time. Our customers rely on us to choose the most suitable, most economical and most efficient mode of transport.
If your customer's goods are ready to depart, you simply have to give the order to us as a 3PL service provider. Our staff will pick your goods from the warehouse and place them on pallets for shipment. Would you like stickers reading 'Approved quality' placed on pallets? If so, we will do this for you. We make sure that certain documentation meets the set requirements. Do products need to be repacked before dispatch? We arrange it. During the logistics process, you have a single point of contact. As logistics service providers, we coordinate the entire logistics process internally and maintain short lines of communication. This ensures short lead times and clear communication.
The Third Party Logistics service is an extension of your company. We perform 3PL fulfilment activities as you would do it yourself. The fact that an external party performs the work should never make any difference. By outsourcing the logistics processes, you spend less time transporting your product to the warehouse. Your product is already in the warehouse with us, which saves time and costs. The lead time is also reduced: as soon as a product is allowed to depart, we arrange it the same day. The advantages at a glance:
- communication and convenience
- cost reduction
- reduced lead time
