What is 3PL Warehousing, and how can it help your business?

Third Party logistics (abbreviated as 3PL or TPL) in logistics and supply chain management, is an organisation’s use of third-party businesses to outsource elements of its distribution, warehousing, and fulfillment services.

Third party logistics (3PL) providers typically specialise in integrated operations of warehousing and transportation services that can be scaled and customised to suit customers’ needs, based on market conditions, to meet the demands and delivery service requirements for their products. This allows the customer to scale up or down stock holdings and achieve immediate cost benefits where applicable.

The 3pl Warehouse Advantage

The advantage of using a third party logistics (3PL) provider is that you, as a customer, are then able to allocate your resources to managing and growing your business and leave the daily fulfillment of orders to your nominated third party logistics provider. The 3PL warehouse will use their expertise in managing and expediting the fulfillment of your orders.

A major advantage of using a 3PL provider is the ability to fully manage your input costs. All elements of the distribution process can be quantified and costs pre-determined. These costs can be broken down to a carton rate or even an item rate. With all your logistics costs quantifiable, it allows you the ability to manage the important part of your business. In summary, this means that you will only pay for the services required and you do not need to carry costly overheads.

By choosing a 3PL for your logistics needs, reduced expenditure can be achieved in warehouse floor space, excess stock on-hand, plant and equipment costs, staff overheads and other large fixed overheads. In other words, by using a 3PL reduced costs can be achieved through economies of scale as your costs are directly apportioned to your sales.

Australia 3PL Companies – The 7 Rs in Logistics

Logistics is the management of the flow of things between the point of origin and the point of consumption to meet the requirements of customers or corporations.

The Chartered Institute of Logistics & Transport in the UK defines the 7 R’s in logistics to achieve the correct logistical outcome as being:

The 7 R’s in logistics

1.     getting the Right product
2.     in the Right quantity
3.     in the Right condition
4.     at the Right place
5.     at the Right time
6.     to the Right customer
7.     at the Right price

third party warehousing

While this definition seems simple, think about the synchronised processes that need to take place within the third party warehouse in order for all the criteria such as timeliness, condition of goods, price and accuracy to be maintained.

MTS’ Brisbane logistics can help you to achieve the 7 R’s within your supply chain.

Too often clients are lost in larger organisations, affecting the service goals desired by using a 3PL and ultimately losing the ability to remain competitive by outsourcing.  

MTS focuses on a strong level of service for all clients, regardless of size or turnover. We’re ready to adapt to different levels of expectations and handling requirements to ensure our clients succeed in the marketplace.

We have been dealing with MTS for over 20 years now making them the longest serving supplier to our business. Their attention to detail has meant they are advising us of errors we are making before we know ourselves. The MTS stock take is more accurate than our own warehouses. Great, personal service – if MTS say it can’t be done, it can’t be done.
