3PL

What is 3PL?

A 3PL (third-party logistics) provider offers outsourced logistics services, which encompass anything that involves management of one or more facets of procurement and fulfillment activities.

In business, 3PL has a broad meaning that applies to any service contract that involves storing or shipping items.

How it works?

How third-party logistics work Here is an example of how 3PL arrangements operate: A book publisher hires writers, editors and graphic designers to produce publications, but it may not want to handle the consumer ordering process or transportation of book shipments. Instead, the book publisher uses a fulfillment center to process its online orders and hires a trucking carrier to haul its freight. The fulfillment center and carrier both act as 3PL providers. It's possible for a single 3PL provider to fulfill and ship book orders, too. By contracting with a 3PL provider, the book company can use supply and distribution services only when needed, thus controlling costs more effectively while focusing on its core competency of producing books.
