As a business owner, the reputation of your company and its products is your most prized possession, and you’d never want something, like shipping, to jeopardize it. Unfortunately, if your business suddenly takes off and you’re flooded with orders, that might be a possibility. If your business is experiencing this, you should consider using third party logistics to handle the demand.

A Brief Guide to Third Party Logistics

What Is Third Party Logistics?

A third party logistics (3PL) provider will receive, hold, or transport your goods and won’t take title to it. While you design and produce your inventory, the 3PL provider arranges the trains, planes, boats, and ground vehicles that get it to your customers.

How Does It Help Businesses?

A 3PL provider will take over the transportation aspect of order fulfillment, allowing you to stay focused on improving your products, providing customer service, and expanding brand awareness. Also, if your current storefront or office space is running out of room for product storage, third party logistics providers can offer holding space in massive warehouses.

How Does 3PL Benefit Hawaii Business?

If your company is located in a remote area, like Oahu, it won’t be able to reach more than a fraction of your customers nearby on neighbor islands. To reach customers on other islands, the mainland, or around the world, you’ll need help moving inventory across oceans. A 3PL provider will ensure your customers get the products they need and want intact and on-time.
