Third-Party Logistics

Many clients, changing contracts, and margins that depend on every square foot and every labour hour.

The Challenge

Flexible enough for the next client, efficient enough for this one

3PLs run several clients in one building, each with its own products, rules, and service levels. Contracts are shorter than equipment life, so automation has to adapt to new clients, and margins depend on using space and labour well.

Changing client mixNew contracts bring new SKUs, order profiles, and handling rules.
Thin marginsEvery labour hour and every square foot is billed against a rate.
Labour availabilityPeak staffing is hard to find, train, and keep.
Proof for clientsClients expect reporting and continuous improvement.
