Airhouse is a fulfillment provider for high-growth direct-to-consumer brands. They operate a managed global network of warehouses connected by proprietary software, with 13 fulfillment centers across the US, as well as locations in Canada and the UK. They empower DTC brands to fully outsource their fulfillment operations to best-in-class facilities, enabling faster business growth. Through our unique network model, ecommerce brands can access world-class facilities and never have to worry about outgrowing their 3PL. Please note that while they use a network of warehouses, not a 4PL. Airhouse is responsible for our customers' fulfillment operations and provides dedicated account management, freight coordination, international tax and customs registration, and data insights for optimal efficiency.
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.
