Established in 2005, Impact Express operates as a global courier wholesaler specializing in integrator-based courier services. Recently, they expanded their offerings to include a fulfillment service targeted at small and medium-sized businesses seeking a personalized solution for product fulfillment. This service is particularly beneficial for home-based businesses in need of additional shipping support. Through their specialized system and access to preferential carrier rates, the company aims to save their clients time, enabling them to focus more on sales and business growth rather than the logistics of shipping.
Third-party logistics (3PL) refers to outsourcing supply chain activities—such as transportation, warehousing, inventory management, and order fulfillment—to an external provider.
By leveraging 3PL services, businesses focus on their core competencies while professionals manage the logistics.
Here’s how 3PL integrates into your supply chain:
Inventory Storage: Products are stored in a 3PL-managed warehouse.
Order Processing: Once an order is placed, the 3PL picks and packs items.
Shipping: The 3PL partners with carriers to ensure prompt delivery.
Returns Management: Customer returns are processed efficiently to maintain satisfaction.
Cost Savings: Eliminates the need to own or lease warehouses.
Scalability: Supports seasonal spikes and growth without infrastructure investment.
Expertise: Access to advanced technology and optimized processes.
