What is 3PL?

3PL (third-party logistics) means a specialist team takes care of storing and shipping your products for you, so you can focus on growing your business while your logistics run faster, cheaper and worry-free. In short, you hand the complicated work to the experts and keep your attention on products and sales.

1PL

A seller delivers products directly to a store using their own transportation method-without using any outside shipping providers.

2PL


A seller uses a courier
to deliver their products
to stores.

 

3PL

A seller hires a shipping and fulfillment provider that handles fulfilment, shipping and logistics operations.

Save your budget

Skip the warehouse build-out and in-house fleet—cut fixed costs and head-count from day one.

Ship at speed

Multi-location inventory puts products closer to buyers, slashing dispatch-to-door time and boosting satisfaction.

Stay in the know

Plug-and-play APIs feed real-time stock, order and tracking data into your dashboard, so every parcel’s journey is one click away.
