As the realm of Canadian commerce shifts toward a digital era, businesses are experiencing a seismic logistics shift to meet new customer expectations. The most striking change is how businesses are beginning to manage their warehouse operations.
Traditional dedicated leasing is quickly making way for Third-Party Logistics (3PL) warehousing - a strategic move that can increase operational efficiencies.
Until recent years, it was common for businesses to lease large warehouses on dedicated terms to store products for distribution. However, companies now opt for 3PL warehousing solutions due to an expanding global consumer base and more varied demand.
Reliability and Flexibility Redefining Warehouse Management
Why this sudden transition from traditional methods? In essence, businesses now sell products online and require services such as storage, packaging, and transportation in numerous locations across the globe.
These services, which were historically handled in-house or through leased warehouses, can now be carried out by independent businesses. The added flexibility and lower upfront costs help businesses lower overall business expenses.
Additionally, a product can go viral overnight, requiring businesses to pivot swiftly to capture demand. 3PL warehousing allows you to quickly store and process more products without a large upfront financial commitment.
