What is 3PL?

3PL stands for Third Party Logistics. It is a form of logistics services in which a company outsources its logistics processes such as storage, transport and distribution services to an external party. Third party logistics providers therefore take over (part of) the logistics activities of a company in the logistics industry, relieving them of their worries and allow them to operate more efficiently and focus on their business growth and a good customer experience.
