LOGISTIC COMPANY - DHL

2. WHAT IS A 3rd PARTY LOGISTIC
COMPANY ?
■ When an organization uses a 3rd Party for its
Distribution, Warehousing and Fulfilment services
then it is called as a 3rd Party Logistics Company.
■ The reason for the company going for a 3rd Party
Logistics is these firms offer lower transportation
rates and can help reduce return goods cost and
lost sales.

3. So why do companies choose to
outsource? There are three main
advantages:
■ Expertise – it enables them to benefit from the capabilities of a partner with vast
experience of implementing and running best-in-class e-commerce operations,
often across multiple sectors and geographies.
■ Technology – they can access multiple technologies such as robotics, automation
and software solutions. These allow them to quickly optimize their entire supply
chain without needing to go through the validation and assessment that
implementing such technologies themselves would require.
■ Network – they can leverage the large number of existing facilities that a logistics
partner can offer.
Despite these advantages, outsourcing e-commerce fulfillment is never an easy
decision.

4. There are several scenarios in which an
organization should consider outsourcing:
■ When entering a new geography – starting in a new market and understanding its
e-commerce landscape can be a challenge
■ When specific expertise is required – for example, when a company launches a
new business line or product category
■ Where consumer expectations require a large number of facilities and locations –
leveraging the physical network of a logistics partner is a great way to effectively
and quickly scale up
■ When speed to market is critical – companies can save months, or even years, by
choosing the right partner in a particular market. In the race for e-commerce
dominance, businesses only have a small window of time to get it right
■ When there is limited investment – if a business is not in a position to invest in
infrastructure, it can access existing facilities and technologies
