3PL strategy: outsource, keep it in-house, or add a location?

Whether to run fulfillment yourself, hire a 3PL, or run one is a question of numbers and operations. We model your volumes, costs and service needs, then help you choose and set up the arrangement that fits.

What we do

  • In-house versus outsourced cost and service comparison
  • 3PL selection: requirements, quotes and reference checks
  • Review of 3PL pricing and contracts: storage, handling and extra fees
  • Onboarding a 3PL: data, labels and receiving standards
  • For 3PLs: rate cards, client billing and reporting setup
  • Deciding where to hold inventory across locations

Is this you?

Signs you need it

  • Your warehouse is full, or your 3PL costs too much
  • You're quoting a new client and aren't sure of your own costs
  • You have several locations and no clear rule for where stock sits
  • A 3PL contract renewal is coming up

Vendor-neutral

Our job is a recommendation that fits your numbers, whether that means staying in-house, moving to a 3PL, or running your own 3PL operation better.
