SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT | 10 minute read
Third Party Logistics (3PL) is changing at an astonishing rate. For modern 3PL providers, the approach is becoming increasingly tech-oriented.
3PL technology is revolutionizing the way things are done in businesses of all sizes. From paperless platforms through to increasing customer demand and Uber-esque supply chain models, it’s easy to see why 3PL providers need to be at the top of their game and why they’re a good outsourcing option for SMEs.
It’s important for businesses to find the right 3PL company too; by doing so you can improve supply chain management, logistics, cut down on costs and have more time to focus on other aspects of your business. At the end of the day, when your business runs efficiently, your customers are more likely to be happy.
