What is Third-Party Logistics (3PL) and How to Choose the Right One

For companies that rely on logistics suppliers, receiving, storing, and shipping inventory is crucial to their growth, especially when volatility impacts supply chain management.

As specialization of logistics functions becomes a necessity for many businesses, especially with the e-commerce and omnichannel networks, outsourcing to 3PL companies has now become a trend.

However, almost four years after the health emergency, supply chain volatility is still one of the challenges that must be overcome in order to maximize the benefits for this type of project.
