Transportation is a large part of many businesses and occupies a significant piece of their supply chains. Managing such an impactful branch as transportation is complicated, and trusting business to handle your supply chain can be very stressful. To resolve logistics challenges, you can outsource your transportation management.
However, trying to keep all processes organized becomes almost impossible. Especially, when you operate a large company with a complex supply chain. Many businesses think they will save money by running an in-house logistics department, but in most cases, it can be much more stressful than outsourcing. Creating and maintenance of the entire department, investing in a transportation management system is certainly a huge expense and can be a huge burden.
While you may doubt whether outsourcing will benefit you, assigning non-core transportation management is a common practice for both large and small businesses.
Ultimately, working with a 3PL can be beneficial both for your budget and operational efficiency. When you outsource your transportation management, it lets you access an enormous network of freight carriers, technology and reports, and all while focusing on your core business.
