4 Reasons Third-Party Logistics Just Makes Good Sense

It is difficult to watch your company grow and succeed but still know in the back of your mind that it won’t be able to keep up with fulfillment. Increasing sales is always a win, but getting those orders to customers is a whole different ballgame. Have you considered partnering with a third-party logistics (3PL) provider to make everything run smoothly? Here are four reasons it might make perfect sense.

You Can’t Oversee LogisticsWhether you own the company or are an entry-level employee, chances are you that shipping logistics are not your first area of expertise. You have an important job to do, and trying to juggle the complicated ins and outs of the warehouse can be frustrating. Using a 3PL partner allows the entire staff to focus on what’s most imperative to them as an employee, growing sales and overall business without the added distraction. You also won’t have to hire and train your own warehouse staff.

You Like EfficiencySuccessful businesses know that efficient operations are key to eliminating downtime and making more profits. By hiring experts who already have the best technology and infrastructure in place, you know that you are getting the best postage rates and labor optimization possible.

You Want to Save MoneyWhy build a warehouse full of shipping docks and forklifts? Having a 3PL partner who is equipped to process orders quickly and efficiently, you save money by foregoing an in-house fulfillment department and all the costs associated with it.

You Want to Make Customers HappyCustomers like to receive products that are intact and quick to arrive. It is an added bonus if their postage costs are as low as possible. High-quality 3PL providers pack items appropriately and get them out the door quickly. Their supply chain efficiencies and down-to-the-minute shipping logistics cost less to administer, and that savings often can translate to lower postage rates for the end customer.

Clearly, there are plenty of benefits to partnering with a 3PL provider. SureShip offers 99.79% order accuracy, 24-hour customer service and same day shipping on all orders placed by 3 pm. Can we help simplify your processes? Give us a call at 301-577-7550.
