Q. WHEN DO YOU CONSIDER OUTSOURCING
YOUR WAREHOUSING AND FULFILLMENT?
A. Outsourcing to a 3rd Party Logistics (3PL) provider can be a
cost-effective solution that frees up a company to focus on other essential areas,
like marketing and sales. However, there's often concern that if
the 3PL's performance drops even slightly, it could impact the entire business.
Building a solid relationship with the chosen 3PL partner is
essential to avoid such risks. Before selecting a 3PL,
companies should ensure outsourcing is necessary
by evaluating a few key factors through specific questions.
