Receiving
It’s the most crucial part of 3PL services because inventory availability is the sole requirement of combating the demand of consumers. Thus, every seller needs the inventory to be stored in a 3PL warehouse or storage to make sure that their products don’t go out of stock.
However, our clients need to fill a Warehouse Receiving Order (WRO), which states the product details and the number of products received. It’s essential for adequate management of your products; ultimately, it helps us in the timely shipping of products and ensures the availability of products for on-time shipments.
Warehousing
The next stage in the chain of 3PL services is warehousing. The products are stored in our warehouse using a systematic method. Additionally, the products are stored in dedicated shelves, pallets, or bins of different companies with unique storage locations.
The warehousing capacity varies with every 3PL service provider, and some service providers have enough space to handle hundreds and even thousands of units. It is in 3PL service seekers’ best interest to choose service providers based on their order volume and inventory. All in all, the 3PL service provider warehousing must meet your inventory storage requirements.
Picking
When an order is placed, the 3PL fulfillment process begins. You must be familiar with the term pick and pack fulfillment. Let’s see how the fulfillment process works.
An integrated 3PL software monitors customer orders, shipments, and stock levels to facilitate the fulfillment process efficiently, translating to completely automated shipping. Thus, the orders are directly sent to your 3PL service provider through the integrated software as soon as they are placed.
Once an order is received at 3PL, the picking team is assigned the task with a detailed list, including product details, storage location, and quantity to pick the product. Afterward, the products are then picked and moved on for the next phase of packing.
Packing
Once our representatives have picked the orders, the products are sent for packaging. We make sure that the products are packed according to the set standards. We choose the packing materials based on your products and brand. However, the common packing materials that we use include:
- Cardboard boxes
- Branded boxes
- Bubble wraps
- Polythene bags
- Dunnage
- Duck-tape
Besides, the standards for packaging are set to ensure the protection of products and the least possible dimensional weight. Consequently, the right measures of packaging help reduce shipping costs and offer better shipment to the customer.Dimensional weight is a traditional costing method used for shipping. It accounts for logistics costs; furthermore, it can make a significant difference in shipping costs if optimized rightly by suitable packaging materials.
SHIPPING
When everything is in place, the next step is to ship the products to your customers by the 3PL service provider. In this stage, we advise you to follow the following steps:
- Firstly, buy and print your shipping receipts.
- Secondly, compare the cost of shipping with market competitors of your service provider.
- Lastly, choose the best for you; 3PL service providers like us assure on-time delivery of products and the cheapest possible shipping rates.
