What Does 3PL Mean?

3PL is a term often heard in connection with e-commerce. It stands for third-party logistics, which means outsourcing all logistics operations to an external partner. This approach offers several advantages. With 3PL, your company’s inventory is always well-managed because the physical warehousing is handled by a specialist with extensive expertise in the field. This enables us to negotiate the best deals with shipping companies and other carriers.

Typically, there is a system integration between the external warehouse and the webshop’s order system, allowing orders to flow directly from the webshop to the external warehouse. This ensures high efficiency and minimizes the margin for error.
