What Is 3PL and Why It’s the Smartest Move for Growing Businesses
3PL (Third-Party Logistics) is when a business outsources part or all of its supply chain operations to a logistics expert. Services typically include:
-
Warehousing
-
Inventory management
-
Order fulfillment
-
Freight coordination
-
Distribution
-
Returns processing
Instead of building expensive infrastructure, companies leverage a 3PL’s established network, technology, and expertise.
