A 3PL (third-party logistics) provider offers outsourced logistics services, which encompass anything that involves management of one or more facets of procurement and fulfillment activities.

In business, 3PL has a broad meaning that applies to any service contract that involves storing or shipping items.

A 3PL service may be a single provider, such as transportation or warehouse storage, or it can be a systemwide bundle of services capable of handling supply chain management.

How third-party logistics work

Here is an example of how 3PL arrangements operate: A book publisher hires writers, editors and graphic designers to produce publications, but it may not want to handle the consumer ordering process or transportation of book shipments. By contracting with a 3PL provider, the book company can use supply and distribution services only when needed, thus controlling costs more effectively while focusing on its core competency of producing books.

The benefits of 3PL

The primary benefit of using a 3PL service to handle logistics, such as packaging, warehousing, fulfillment and distribution, is cost savings -- for example, not having to maintain a warehouse or the staff to monitor supply chain operations.

A 3PL service likely offers better performance on efforts such as shipping while also enjoying an easier ability to scale its operations. If the publishing company in the example above suddenly needs to ship more copies of a popular title, a fulfillment center will have an easier time meeting that demand than if the publisher itself had to ship additional copies of the book.

The growth of 3PLs

The growth in online sales and increasing consumer demand for faster delivery and lower prices have spiked demand for 3PL services. 3PLs have also bloomed thanks to tracking technology, such as radio frequency identification (RFID) and global positioning system (GPS), both of which offer extended supply chain visibility. Meanwhile, internet of things technology has improved tracking metrics for trucking and other carriers.
