Highly efficient, cost-effective Warehousing & Distribution logistics that delivers in every way - that's 3PL (Third-Party Logistics)...
Business today is looking for a single-source solution to manage warehousing and distribution. Constraints on cash-flow and floor-space mean that few have the luxury to finance and keep surplus stock on-hand. Finding the happy medium is a challenge that sees many struggle to strike a balance between tying-up too much cash in stock and satisfying the customer off the shelf. And It only gets worse when your business sources products from a large number of different sources, often scattered around the country, if not the world. Co-ordinating your suppliers to observe delivery windows which suit your business is difficult if not impossible.
There's a whole new emerging technology in warehousing logistics and supply-chain management. Now, best-practice employs an array of sophisticated logistics 'tools' to better manage products and how they ultimately find their way into customers' hands. Factory Gate, JIT, Cross-Docking; all the logistics buzz-words that point to a company that has their house in order and something that your customers are looking for!
