Outsourcing Your Logistics
Why Should You Consider Outsourcing Your Logistics?
To compete in today’s competitive global marketplace, shippers-manufacturers have to efficiently manage their inventory and fulfillment. To do this, many will look outside their four walls for additional support and solutions.
It’s not realistic, nor a good idea for most businesses to run 100% of their supply chain operations in-house due to potential risks and reduced nimbleness.
First of all, more than ever before hiring logistics talent, procuring capacity, investing in physical assets (if you can get them!) are all labor-intensive and expensive. Instead, shippers-manufactures today outsource different parts or sometimes even all of their supply chain requirements to a third party like AW2 Logistics.
Let me provide you with some basic insight on this topic. Outsourcing logistics or utilizing a third-party logistics provider is when a company uses an external provider, such as AW2 Logistics to handle various supply chain functions.
These can include a mix of shipping, storing, inventory, packaging, crating, and delivering a company’s physical goods, ranging from raw materials to finished product. All these services are provided by AW2 Logistics.
AW2 Logistics would provide Value-Added Warehousing, Fulfillment, and Distribution services from one of its 9 nationwide locations strategically covering West Coast, East Coast, and Midwest. The majority of shippers considering outsourcing their logistics want to expand capacity and networks to help them get closer to the end customer. Outsourced warehouses typically do a good job managing labor costs across a variety of clients.
Providing a more cost-effective solution as labor costs rise and difficulties increase to retain and recruit employees by offering a multi-client warehouse solution.
