With the rise of e-commerce over the past few years, many cracks were exposed in how traditional 3PLs were managing and fulfilling orders. Like Grandpa trying to use tik-tok to stay current, these industry titans were unable to keep pace with the growing demands of businesses shifting their focus to online marketplaces. As a result, many of these companies were hindered in their ability to scale.
After doing a deep dive into what today’s online businesses were faced with, the Pitted Logistics team went to work on building a different fulfillment experience – One that would put an emphasis on surprising and delighting the brands they serve. Pitted Logistics was born out of love and a lot of listening.
Pitted Logistics is committed to serving their clients to the highest level of service possible. They are technology-driven, service-oriented, people-focused, and stay on the bleeding edge of industry trends. Their company and its associated sister companies are changing the way e-commerce service is provided. From best-in-class strategy, fulfillment, and growth capital, Pitted Logistics is redefining what it means to be a service provider.
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.
