Are Your Third Party Logistics Scalable?

Hiring a third party logistics company can play a key role in growing your company, expanding its reach, and taking your operations to a new level. Of course, in order to maximize these benefits and fully take advantage of your partnership with your 3PL company, you have to make sure they have the capability to accommodate your growth now and for years to come.

When evaluating the scalability of your 3PL partnership, ask the following questions of your third party logistics company:

• What if my company has a significant seasonal increase in demand?
• What if we enter a new market and demand increases exponentially?
• How well equipped are you to manage a drastic change in supply?
• Do you have the space to accommodate a large spike in supply?
• How far does your transportation reach extend?

Simply put, scalability in your 3PL arrangement is absolutely necessary to help your company take full advantage of growth opportunities. If your third party logistics company can’t provide satisfactory answers to these and other similar questions, perhaps it’s best to reevaluate your relationship now before it’s too late.
