HawkRidge Fulfillment started as a small eCommerce retail company in 2004. Once manufacturers started moving into the DTC space online, they realized we either had two options: diversify or get priced out. So they diversified and started a fulfillment company. Now the fulfillment company is the main focus and we have large aspirations for it. Since 2018 they've been fulfilling orders for their customers. Their mission is to offer generous support to all their partners, including customers, vendors, drivers, employees, and anyone else they come into contact with.
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.
