Here are 5 advantages of using a 3PL company for your brand.
Advantages Of Using a 3PL Company
1. 3PL company is your one-shop for all your fulfillment needs
Using a 3PL company allows you to use one partner for all your logistics that’s essentially an extension of your own brand. Evolution Fulfillment has created six turnkey fulfillment services to advance your North American distribution strategy – which you can choose independently or combine for full effect – to ensure on-time, accurate and efficient product delivery into all sales channels.
2. 3PL company helps minimize overhead costs
By partnering with a 3PL company, you save lots of money by not investing in your own warehouse space, technology, transportation, and staff to carry out day-to-day operations. An outsourced fulfillment company frees you from these responsibilities and allow your leadership team to really focus on the creative side of your brand. Leave the product fulfillment to us!
3. 3PL provider offers industry expertise
In today’s ever changing world, a 3PL company will provide knowledge and experience to keep your business trending in the right direction. They stay up-to-date with the latest in technology, manufacturing, and logistics. International brands looking to enter a new market will have a 3PL partner who understands the local economy and can guide them in the right direction for all their 3PL needs.
4. 3PL company lets you focus on key business areas
As mentioned above, outsourced fulfillment allows your brand to focus on the key areas of your business. A 3PL gives you additional time to brainstorm new product/service ideas, implement new marketing strategies and plan for your brand’s future without being stuck doing large day-to-day logistical duties. Not deploying internal resources is a great benefit of partnering up with a 3PL company. For those with an online brand, our 3PL ecommerce fulfillment services are a perfect for your growing brand.
