The Armstrong Company started in 1957 as a small, family-owned mover in Memphis. Three generations of commitment, innovation, and sacrifice later, we’ve grown the company from a small loan and a single warehouse into a global logistics provider supported by a group of hardworking and invested partners. And while our business—and our dreams—continue to grow, we remain committed to the promise that has always set us apart: At Armstrong, our world moves around you.
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.
