SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT | 8 minute read
Third-party logistics providers (3PL) are widely used by businesses in Singapore and globally. 3PL refers to any third-party business used to outsource any part of a company’s distribution or fulfilment services. This includes supply chain management, distribution, warehousing, transportation, and more.
With the right 3PL company, eCommerce businesses can scale up and optimise their supply chain management and logistics approach, which cuts down on unnecessary costs, ensures business operations run smoothly and keeps customers happy.
