Ecommerce 3PLs (third-party logistics providers) offer outsourced logistics services like order fulfillment, warehousing, and inventory management, allowing brands to scale without the need for in-house logistics. They handle everything from picking, packing, and shipping to inventory distribution and returns, leveraging technology to provide real-time insights and automation. With multiple fulfillment centers globally, 3PLs optimize shipping costs and delivery times, while enabling brands to focus on growth rather than logistics.
Key benefits include faster shipping options, global expansion, and seamless integration with ecommerce platforms. Generally speaking, D2C brands look to onboard an ecommerce fulfillment provider when they are at or above $1M in total revenue. This is the point when managing fulfillment and logistics in-house (usually the founders themselves) is too challenging and the benefits offered by a top-tier 3PL partner are well worth it to the business.
Or, if you need an extra hand finding the right 3PL for your specific brand, you can research in-house by using a dedicated directory in Fulfill to find the best match for your brand you can use a matchmaker service like 3PeeL for free.
