Outsourcing logistics can benefit any business if the right 3PL fulfillment provider is chosen according to specific needs. This allows you to free up time and human resources spent on warehouse processes to focus on brand development.
However, there are certain situations where turning to a third-party logistics provider is more of a necessity:
1. Rapid business growth: If your team is no longer keeping up and resources are insufficient to expand capabilities.
2. Planned international expansion: It’s much more convenient and cost-effective to collaborate with a 3PL fulfillment provider in the target country when planning international expansion, rather than investing in warehouse facilities, hiring and training staff, and establishing logistics processes.
3. International companies: International companies benefit from having multiple warehouses close to their customers. This allows faster order delivery and return receipt, improving the overall customer experience. In such cases, partnering with a global 3PL company is more advantageous than independently building a warehouse network.
