Trading companies, importers, exporters and international sellers need a set of related activities to manage the flow of goods, from transport and warehousing to distribution and the coordination of operations. Managing these activities separately can be time-consuming and can make coordination between service providers more complicated.
Third-party logistics (Third-Party Logistics), or 3PL, lets businesses hand all or part of their logistics activities to a specialist service provider.
With an approach tailored to the needs of each business, Namdaran Tarabar cooperates in planning and coordinating the logistics activities related to the flow of goods. Within the agreed scope and the facilities that can be offered, these activities can include the following:
- Transport management: coordinating the movement of goods between supplier, warehouse and final destination.
- Warehousing coordination: planning storage needs and liaising with warehousing service providers.
- Distribution coordination: planning the dispatch of goods to customers or to different destinations.
- Coordination of logistics operations: linking the stages of transport, storage and delivery for a more orderly management of the flow of goods.
What value does 3PL create for your business?
By using a logistics solution suited to the company's needs, businesses can spend less time on the scattered coordination of activities, have a more coherent view of the flow of goods, and focus more of their internal resources on buying and selling, developing their market and their relationships with customers.
A 3PL solution suits companies that intend to outsource part of their logistics operations or to improve coordination between several activities related to the transport and distribution of goods.
