3PL

How third party logistics benefits your e-commerce experience

What is 3PL?

3PL stands for Third-Party Logistics. Referring to the outsourcing of logistics to a third entity. Fulfilment companies are a good example of 3PL and offer a variety of services like storage, inbound, outbound, returns and other value-adding services.

Benefits of 3PL

Apart from the time savings there are a ton of other benefits like having access to multiple carriers at the same time, an efficient logistics process and an overall better performance. 3PL also allows you to expand your market in other continents by simply sending your stock over, having the 3PL company integrate their WMS system with your online store and start selling.
