Third-party logistics (3PL) transportation refers to outsourcing logistics and transportation services to a third-party provider. 3PL providers offer a range of transportation and logistics services, including TL, LTL, air, parcel, white glove, and last mile solutions, as well as warehousing, and distribution. From inbound through to final mile, a 3PL transportation provider offers the capability, flexibility, and scalability needed to ensure your products arrive safely and on time. By outsourcing these services, businesses can focus on their core competencies and reduce transportation costs.
There are several benefits to using a 3PL transportation solution for your business, including cost savings, improved efficiency, and access to a wider range of transportation options. 3PL providers can negotiate better rates with carriers, optimize routes, and provide up-to-date tracking and reporting. This allows businesses to reduce transportation costs, improve delivery times, and streamline the management of their supply chain.
Factors to consider include experience in your industry, a strong reputation for reliability and customer services, and progressive technology capabilities. An expert provider should have integrated technologies including WMS, back-office systems, and external carrier partners. Other technology considerations include up-to-date tracking and reporting, as well as business intelligence tools to improve visibility and decision-making. The right provider should have a resilient, multi-carrier network, and provide cost-effective Section 321 cross-border shipping. Also evaluate the 3PLs customer service to ensure that they are responsive and able to meet your needs.
A 3PL transportation provider can help businesses save money on shipping costs by leveraging their buying power to negotiate better rates with carriers, optimizing routes to reduce fuel and labor costs, and providing up-to-date visibility into transportation performance. By working with a 3PL provider, businesses can access cost-effective transportation solutions and reduce their overall transportation spend.
3PL providers offer a range of transportation options, including ground transportation, air freight, and intermodal transportation. Ground transportation includes TL, LTL, rail, courier services, and white glove delivery while air freight provides national and international shipping options. Intermodal transportation combines multiple modes of transportation to provide the most cost-effective and efficient shipping solution. Leveraging one contract and one relationship, a 3PL transportation provider will manage and handle your freight utilizing their quality transportation partner network to create a strategic solution that best fits your needs and budget.
