3 Ways 3PL Warehouses have Exceeded Expectations

Not too long ago 3rd party logistic companies were basic box and ship operations. They slapped labels on packages, loaded them on trucks, and that was it. Time has changed, and with them, the 3PL warehouse has transformed. By taking advantage of Big Data, 3PLs have become much more than pack and ship. 3PLs now make their clients look amazing to their end customer. As a centrally located 3PL Omaha warehouse we too have been a part of this change. Here are 3 ways we’ve exceeded our customer’s expectations in recent years. 

Creating New Unboxing Experiences

A package doesn’t have to be just a package. More and more packages are becoming part of the consumer experience. Just look at how many YouTube videos are dedicated to unboxing products. When you utilize branded assets from the packing inside your box to the box itself, your customers get a bonus experience for free with every order. The way your pack your products can be a value-added experience that motivates customers to order more.

Faster Fulfillment

Smaller companies often think they can’t compete with the online retail giants and the same day shipping they offer. Today, 3PLs have allowed small businesses to move faster than ever. Choosing a centrally located warehouse that uses technology enabling them to efficiently pick, pack, and ship your order has given small companies the competitive shipping edge they’ve been waiting for.

Transparency

Increased transparency results in increased speed. For each part of the supply chain to be able to do its job with maximum efficiency, it needs to know what’s in front of it, and what’s coming soon. Information can be provided to your customers so they know where their items are and when they can expect them to arrive. When next day arrival isn’t an option, allowing your customers to check in on their shipments’ progress allows is the next best thing.
