eStore Logistics provide 3PL warehousing and distribution services to many eCommerce and omni-channel retail clients which sell a variety of products. Whether your business is large or small, they use the most up-to-date systems and processes to store and deliver your products cost effectively and accurately. They also provide value added services such as: stock quality control checks, ticketing, labelling and bar coding, kitting, work order assembly and projects as directed by the client.
The benefits of an outsourced 3PL provider, like eStore Logistics, are:
Enhanced scalability and low capital commitment
Businesses need to respond well to changes in demand and seasonal factors tend to affect most businesses. Having a warehouse sit empty during the off-season period can be costly when it cannot be leased out. Since that space cannot be fully utilised throughout the year, a 3PL provider saves the need to invest in a warehouse. They provide integrated warehousing and transportation facilities based on consumer demand and delivery requirements. This allows the business to scale their operations knowing that logistics will keep up with the growth.
Customer satisfaction
3PL providers work with their clients to understand the timing and specifics of their deliveries. They plan deliveries for each client to ensure that they are ready to cart the goods in an efficient manner, minimising wait times for the end-user. This helps to improve the reputation of the retail business because customers are always wanting quick delivery times without the headache.
Flexibility and time savings
With a strategic distribution network, 3PL providers are able to distribute goods far and wide with ease. This allows the retail business to services customers in various locations and also structure their business to accommodate the flow of goods to and from various parties.
Supported by the best in class logistics systems and processes, eStore Logistics has proven to be the 3PL of choice for Australian online retailers. With warehouses in Derrimut (Paramount Boulevard), Derrimut (Australis Drive) and Truganina, they have the capacity to store your goods to satisfy your stocking and delivery requirements.
