Delivering good value besides cost-savings

Delivering good value besides cost-savings

Even while shipping is a necessary and expensive component of daily operations, other factors frequently come first. This may lead to dissatisfied customers, higher delivery costs, and wasted time resolving problems.

Companies that want to improve productivity and get the most out of their shipping budgets frequently use third-party logistics (3PL) providers, one-stop shops that can handle all their shipping and logistics requirements. 3PLs combine time and money-saving shipping services into a single, affordable package.

The following advantages may come from using a full-service 3PL to manage your logistics needs.

-

A variety of options
When shipping directly through a freight or express carrier, you are constrained by its offerings and costs, which may or may not meet your needs for timeliness and cost. The strategic alliances that 3PLs often develop with a select number of carriers allow them to offer a wide range of options without the shipper having to contact each carrier separately.

-

One bill, few hassles
Sometimes processing invoices is a nightmare. Companies that ship frequently could receive dozens or even hundreds of invoices each month. Shippers may view all shipping expenses in one place by employing a 3PL to consolidate the frequently complicated invoicing process that occurs from using several carriers into one straightforward, personalized invoice.

-

Excellent service
A shipping provider must understand your business and your transportation requirements to effectively contribute to your bottom line. A 3PL frequently has a location in or close to your company’s city. It is impossible to overestimate the benefits of working with a local customer support agent who is familiar with your specific demands and those of your company. Claims, lost shipments, delays, and other shipping problems can all be quickly resolved.

-

TMS that saves time: In some cases, getting a quote, setting up a pickup, or checking on cargo can be done without speaking to a customer service agent. Many 3PLs provide transportation management systems (TMS) for shipment management convenience, frequently right on their websites.

-

Bills of lading to quotations conversion in one step. Pricing can be automatically revised to reflect the most recent costs, charges, and class.

-

Viewing invoices and paying bills online.

-

A list of things that are regularly transported, allowing you to choose shipment details quickly.

-

Quick comparisons of the costs and transit times.

-

Tracking systems that update shipping status instantly.

One term that appeals to every organization and encompasses all the advantages of working successfully with a 3PL is value. You may be able to take advantage of a 3PL’s partnerships, expertise, and technology by handing off your shipping operations to them, which will likely save you time and money.
