Our 3 most popular posts of the year
Pick and pack fulfillment process – If, like many companies, your eCommerce operation is growing faster than you can manage it yourself, you may be thinking of handing off your order fulfillment operation to a 3PL. We know that entrusting your ‘baby’ to another company may seem like a daunting prospect. So, in this article, we seek to demystify 3PL fulfillment by showing you what happens on our end after your customer hits the “buy” button.
JIT system manufacturing logistics – For manufacturers, there often comes a day where you look around your facility and come to a stark realization: “I’m wasting too much of my floor space for storage instead of production.” Enter “just in time (JIT)” delivery. It’s a major reducer of space, costs, and resources – and a key offering of many 3PLs.
Understanding foreign trade zone benefits – If you have imports entering the U.S. now, but you’re not going to use them for several months, there’s a strategy that can help you save money until your goods are actually needed. It involves storage within a “foreign trade zone” (also called a “free trade zone”). In this article, we explain the benefits of an FTZ as well as the ways a 3PL can help you take advantage of one.
Happy Holidays
