​

Cost and time savings

Logistics is the core competence of third-party logistics providers. 3PL providers have better related knowledge, experience, and greater expertise than the producing or selling company and may also have more global networks enabling greater time and cost efficiencies.

​

The equipment and the IT systems of 3PL providers are constantly updated and adapted to match the requirements of their customers and their customer's suppliers.

​

Low capital commitment

If most or all operative functions are outsourced to a 3PL provider, there is usually no need for the client to own its own warehouse or transport facilities, lowering the amount of capital required for the client's business.

​

Focus

Logistics outsourcing allows companies with limited logistics expertise to focus on their core business.

3PLs often specialize in specific industries. Their experience can help clients scale their business quickly through levering the logistics providers knowledge across their industry.

​

Flexibility

Third-party logistics providers can provide higher flexibility for geographic distribution and may offer a larger variety of services than clients could provide for themselves.

​

Capacity

3PL Providers typically have a large network of carriers (air, ground, and ocean) which are located all throughout the state, country, or region of the globe. This allows them to connect the dots and service their customers no matter where they are trying to transport their commodities.
