Green Fulfilment LTD started with its first facility in Glasgow, a 20,000 sq. ft building and have since only looked back to learn and unlearn for the betterment of Green Fulfilment. They wanted to create a perfect symphony between People, Technology and Process. They wanted a place where staff come to work, and everything is enabling them to do their job well… and where their ideas to improve things are valued. They figured out if they create that eco-system, they will automatically be able to delight our customers. Luckily the theory worked, and went into a growth mode after a couple of years of laying the solid foundations. Since 2018, they have had accelerated growth year on year and are…now spread over 3 facilities and over 110,000 sq. feet in 2022.
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.
