3 Reasons Why a One-Stop 3PL Benefits Your Business

Are you currently managing your logistics in-house? Do you use different vendors for different stages of your supply chain management?

Do you want to improve your current warehousing, distribution, and other logistics?

Do you want the most effective logistics for your new or existing business?

If you answered “yes” to all these scenarios, then your business is the perfect candidate for an all-in-one third-party logistics (3PL) provider.

While there are numerous benefits to using an all-in-one 3PL provider, such as Brendamour Warehousing, Distribution & Services, these three reasons are the most advantageous to your company’s bottom line.

Reason #1: A 3PL maximizes your profitability.

Third-party logistics providers go beyond public warehousing and distribution. They have additional processing and packing services. For example, Brendamour Warehousing offers logistics services that range from assembly and labeling to inspection and custom packing.

With one 3PL handling your entire logistics needs, your business operates more effectively and efficiently. Keeping your goods in one place until they’re ready for sale saves on transportation costs and minimizes lost or damaged goods.

Reason #2: Your business benefits from best practices.

Because it is their core business, 3PLs excel in all stages of logistics. They have valuable resources, the latest advancements in technology, and strategies to maximize your company’s profits.

As an example, Brendamour Warehousing, Distribution and Logistics Services has a vast network of resources, particularly in the distribution area. We have formed relationships that allow us to get volume discounts that we then pass on to our customers.

We also leverage our industry relationships to develop logistics strategies that reduce your distribution costs, improve customer service, and lower overhead. And since Brendamour actively participates in the warehousing, distribution, and logistics industry, we are involved in and learn firsthand about best practices that result in quicker receiving in our warehouse, faster delivery, fewer to zero damages, and quicker returns.

For your business, this means less costs and improved customer satisfaction, both of which can significantly impact your company’s bottom line.

These best practices’ benefits and savings simply cannot be realized by a company’s in-house supply chain because acquiring our wealth of resources and strategies would be too costly and difficult to manage for any company whose core business does not include warehousing, distribution and logistics.

Reason #3: Using a one-stop 3PL reduces your business costs.

If you already use a public warehouse to store your goods, then you are already realizing the savings in real estate, technology, and staff by outsourcing this function.

But you can extend those savings even more with an all-in-one third-party logistics provider. For instance, when you use the logistics services of Brendamour Warehousing, you have 24/7 access to our warehousing management system (WMS) from anywhere.

Our real-time system lets you see your exact inventory levels, what’s being readied to ship, and where your shipped orders are along the distribution route for easy order tracking. Our sophisticated WMS will save your company money by eliminating paperwork, running out of inventory, and auditing.

Order fulfillment is another area where your business can lower costs by choosing a 3PL to perform the function. At Brendamour, order fulfillment and order picking is highly automated, with a fully customized shipping and routing computer and gravity conveyor system.

Our order fulfillment system will get your orders prepared for shipment faster and more accurately. You can lower your business costs even further by utilizing our premium fulfillment and pick and pack services.
