What is 3PL?

 3PL is an abbreviation for “third party logistics.”

3PL firms provide logistics services such as warehousing, order picking, and transportation.     

The rise of internet marketing companies such as Amazon have greatly increased the need for warehousing and on-demand fulfillment of orders.  3PL’s can help companies by decreasing costs and streamlining operations.  Most 3PL’s have the ability to scale up (or down) as market conditions warrant.

One drawback is that customers lose direct control of the supply chain process.  

Liftec Forklifts provides 3PL’s with forklifts, support/maintenance and material handling supplies.
