2. As time passes, many things continue to change, and third-party
logistics (3PL) are part of that. As a business owner who relies on
them the most, you should, at least, know the different types of
third-party logistics available in Malaysia.
Knowing the differences between each type will help you
determine which one suits your business needs the most. As
such, your efforts and investment will not go to waste if you
choose the right type of 3PL for your business. Plus, your
customers would not have a hard time trusting and supporting
your brand.

ABOUT US

3. Four Types of Third-
Party Logistics You
Should Know
3PL Customer
Adapter
Unlike the first two, this type
of 3PL can completely
manage all the warehouse
and logistics of a client.
3PL Customer
Developer
The reason why there are
only a few of them is that
they give the most in-depth
oversight.
Standard 3PL
Provider
From the word standard, this
type of 3PL is the most
common third-party logistics
out there.
3PL Service
Developer
Compared to standard 3PL
providers, a 3PL service
developer offers IT
infrastructure and
management.

4. From the word standard, this type of 3PL is the most common third-party logistics
out there. You can use it to pick and pack your goods.
Standard 3PL Provider
Usually, a standard 3PL provider offers warehouse and logistics services at a lower
rate. The reason behind it is that what they can do begins and ends there. You
cannot rely on them other than that.

5. Compared to standard 3PL providers, a 3PL service developer offers IT
infrastructure and management. That means you can track and trace where your
goods are using their system.

Package Selection
An option that allows the
client to choose which
packaging to use other than
the boring brown box.
Cross-Docking
A process that enables the
client to transfer an item
from one truck to another,
with little to no storage
required.
Safe & Sound
With that in mind, you can
rest assured that all of your
products will be safe and
sound.
Fast Respond
That applies to raw materials,
finished products, and
perishable items.

6. Unlike the first two, this type of 3PL can
completely manage all the warehouse
and logistics of a client.
A 3PL customer adapter’s clients could
also do it on their own since they will have
access to the IT infrastructure and
management that the 3PL uses.
On the other hand, relying on this type of
3PL can be expensive since they offer
various services, such as warehousing,
ship management, tracking, tracing,
cross-docking, lorry transport in Malaysia,
and much more.

7. Most of the time, they merge with their client’s logistic management. By doing this, they will have
overall control of everything. Fret not since they will provide their clients with regular data and
matrix reports. As such, they could still monitor their warehouse and logistics.
Take note that if you want to rely on this type of 3PL, make sure you are ready to give them overall
control of your logistic management.
Although there are only a few 3PL of this type, 3PL customer developers are often
the largest you could ever find. The reason why there are only a few of them is that
they give the most in-depth oversight.
