Isn’t 3PL Only For Big Businesses?

If you’re looking to scale or expand your business in 2024 but are struggling to justify the investment in professional fulfilment, let us offer some insight.

It’s essential to recognise that third-party logistics are not exclusively tailored for businesses of a particular size. Partnering with a fulfilment provider before your business becomes inundated with orders is a strategic move. Suppose you decide to run a flash sale, or one of your products unexpectedly goes viral on TikTok. In situations like these, having the assurance that you are well-prepared to handle a sudden surge in sales is invaluable.

If you find yourself in any of the scenarios listed below, now is the time to consider outsourcing your fulfilment services:

  • Managing more than 10 orders daily.
  • Facing constraints due to limited inventory storage space.
  • Coping with challenges arising from an unforeseen surge in demand.

What Are the Benefits Of Investing in Professional Fulfilment?

Delegating your fulfilment to external experts enables you to concentrate on your core strengths, while specialists focus on doing what they do best.

Outsourcing your order fulfilment also allows you to:

  • Expand into new markets
    Want to sell your products internationally but don’t want to have to navigate the legalities involved? Working with a professional fulfilment service is the ideal solution. By outsourcing these responsibilities, you’ll be able to guarantee faster delivery times, improve customer satisfaction and reduce shipping costs.
  • Reduce overhead costs
    Relying on an outside fulfilment provider means you’ll receive the benefits of skilled, experienced staff, as well as warehouse automation technology, without having to invest in developing your own.
  • Safeguard your business from supply chain disruptions
    Professional fulfilment services are often less vulnerable to global shipping and fulfilment disruptions. While working with one may not entirely eliminate shipping surcharges, it significantly reduces your risk. This is because 3PLs generally maintain relationships with multiple carriers, providing a more robust and adaptable solution to navigate challenges.
