Key Reasons to Outsource Warehousing & Distribution
- Reduce costs and capital investments. Lower operational costs, reduce inventory, and reduce cycle times by partnering with a trusted 3PL company. Besides primarily storing products in a warehouse, select a company that also offers added solutions including: preparing items for consolidation, as well as assembling, packing, labeling and shipping finished goods directly to your customers.
- Flexibility with industry expertise. Whether your business cycle is seasonal or ongoing, partnering with an experienced third-party can help you optimize your overall supply and demand requirements. Key advantages of partnering with a 3PL company include flexible lease terms, industry best practices, and added solutions specific to your business goals.
- Scalability for your rapidly changing business. Growing and shrinking business cycles can be unpredictable and costly. You will need a company who has a proven track record in making strategic adjustments and optimizing performance with both large and small clients. Identify a company that can efficiently scale their operations to evolve with your fluctuating needs.
- Geography and proximity to your customers. Location, location, location! Eliminate shipping items from multiple facilities, and select a centrally located warehouse that can also provide customized solutions for both inbound and outbound operations. Selecting a warehouse with convenient access to ports is a key benefit for receiving, storing, and distributing goods to your customers.
- Lean process and continuous improvement. When you outsource warehousing & distribution to an experienced 3PL, you can spend more time focusing on important business initiatives that give you a competitive advantage in the market. Partner with a proven company whose people, systems, and processes are a good fit for your business model.
