The concepts of warehousing and 3PL services have transformed the e-commerce market in many ways and have made more efficient and effective processes. If you're still on the fence about this service, it's important to know more about how it benefits you. Here's the information that you'll need to make this process easier.
3PL stands for third-party logistics and is a unique way of planning your product distribution. For example, this type of business will take your products and handle the logistics for you so that you don't have to do it yourself. In other words, we have large warehouses that collect your items, and our shipping team will handle all elements of the shipping and delivery process.
The benefits here are obvious and include streamlining your operation considerably. Rather than having to rely on your team to handle these complex steps, you can have someone who understands logistics better do it for you. After all, according to Abdalslam, warehouse storage and product costs are about 20% of your total revenue, and streamlining these costs can save you real money.
The 3PL process is a unique one that includes a myriad of steps, like warehousing. This step includes when the provider gets your inventory at its warehouse and organizes it based on your needs. Then, when you get an order for a product on your e-commerce site, this order gets forwarded to your logistics team to ensure that they know where and when to send it out to your customers.
Next, a member of the warehouse team finds a picking list and collects any items that have been ordered. After collecting this information, they carefully package the items, add a shipping label, and ship them directly to your customer from their distribution center. Finally, they send you and the customer a confirmation that the item has shipped to ensure that everyone is on the same page about this process.
