If you’re reading this, congratulations. It means you have gotten to the point in your career where you need to hire a 3PL to rely on for all of your business needs. This equals success.
A 3PL, otherwise known as third-party logistics, is what happens when a business needs to outsource to someone else to help them meet all their needs; from shipping, to packaging to even transportation.
How Does a 3PL Work?
When a large company has a successful business, they hire people to help them manufacture, create, and sell the product. But what happens after that? If you’ve got customers across the globe, how will you get their product to them? This is where a 3PL comes in.
A 3PL will take care of the technical side of things, while you and your employees are left to focus on creating the product or finding ways to make it better. You hire a 3PL to take care of everything else.
Some business owners may think it would be better for them to outsource someone for every single one of their needs. But at the end of the day, we all know that bundling is the only way you save money. And this is exactly what you can do with a 3PL.
Aspects of a 3PL
Say for example, you sell scarves for a living. When your demand starts to go up, how are you going to keep track of all the products you sell, and more importantly, where are you going to keep them? Because we live in the real world and helper elves don’t exist, you’re left to find the solution on your own.
With a 3PL company like American Manufacturing Solutions, however, you will be able to rely on them to store your product, ship it out, and even keep track of all of your inventory. And this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Many 3PL companies will even go as far as to help you package your items or pre-assemble them to sell in kits, which is also known as kits. Unless your employees have time to do this on top of all of their other responsibilities, you’ll need outside help.
The more time you have to focus on other aspects of your business like marketing and social media, the more successful you’ll be. And in order to have more time to do all of this, you will need to outsource.
