3PL（Third Party Logistics）
Overview of 3PL
3PL is an abbreviation for “Third Party Logistics,” which refers to a way of doing business where a third party takes over logistics work for a cargo owner and performs everything from the planning of logistics strategies to the construction and operation of logistics systems. By offering outsourcing as a third party that is neither a cargo transporter nor a cargo owner, we can provide logistics services that are both more sophisticated and efficient.
Comprehensive logistics services covering storage, transportation, distribution processing, and inventory management
The logistics environment facing companies is becoming more and more complicated each year, due to personnel shortages, rising logistics costs, and variation in physical amounts of cargo. Performing logistics work in-house leads to increased costs and operation work, and in many cases can adversely affect business growth. Adopting 3PL can optimize costs and make work more efficient by outsourcing all logistics work, including storage, transport, distribution processing, and inventory management. We use our specialized logistics knowledge and flexible operation system to build a stable supply chain that enables the customer to focus on their core business and achieve continuous growth.
