Third Party Logistics (3PL) Providers role in the Omnichannel World
I was recently invited to attend the Omnichannel conference hosted by SPS Commerce at their headquarters in Minneapolis. Attendees at the event included retailers, suppliers, software vendors, and 3PL providers. Over the course of 2 full days, everyone in attendance received a lot of useful information on the latest developments in the retail supply chain.
The major takeaway from the event was that execution in today’s complex retail world will define the winners from the losers. In order to execute, your logistics infrastructure must be flexible, scalable, and up to date. Manual order entry and other labor intensive tasks must be replaced by integrated solutions. Everything must be done in the most efficient manner possible in order to satisfy the ever greater demands of consumers.
Current customers of Logistic Edge are already benefitting from our focus on delivering these key services. Our company is one of SPS Commerce’s most established logistics partners. This strong relationship allows us to keep up with the technical requirements of delivering product in the omnichannel world. From brick and mortar DC shipments to “ship to store” e-commerce orders, we can support our customers with the systems required.
If your current warehousing and distribution capabilities are falling short of your customers’ expectations, I would highly suggest that you consult with a Third Party Logistics (3PL) provider who is active in your industry. Experience with your specific retail customers will allow them to step in and deliver immediate results.
