Operations range from large, dedicated customer fulfillment centers to multi-user warehouses with small and medium customers.
Expectations
Customers reach out to 3PLs for capacity, specific know how, global reach and for solving new demands customers are not willing or able to provide. Major trends are driven by automation, fast delivery, sustainability, and growing supply chain complexity.
