3PL Warehouse Management System
The global third party logistics (3PL) market is estimated to reach more than USD 1.7 trillion by 2025 according to recent research by Mordor Intelligence. E-commerce is primarily fuelling this growth through the outsourcing of logistics processes, including inventory management, warehousing, and order fulfilment. For e-commerce companies successful order fulfilment has never been a more vital part of their process, customer expectations far exceed what was the ‘norm’ only a year ago and so as they grow and their customer obligations become ever more complex they can often find that fulfilling orders in-house is no longer feasible, leading them to outsource their fulfilment to a 3PL company.
To win this business in an increasingly competitive market the best 3PL companies need to deploy the latest software technologies to efficiently and flexibly manage their multi-client businesses. This is where a leading Warehouse Management System (WMS) solution is able to deliver major benefits and give your 3PL the competitive edge. A WMS will significantly boost a 3PL’s ability to effectively manage the shared-space warehouse environment including streamlining processes, tracking shipments, and locking down your receiving processes so retaining real-time visibility of the 3rd party order fulfilment process. A WMS will also give you the tools to help customise and expand your range of offerings such as shortened delivery timescales, end-to-end logistics and omni-channel solutions.
