JMB Prep & Ship is a 2 year old 3PL, located in the wonderful Portland, Oregon, that started out with just $900 and a 400 sq ft unit. They have scaled to just under 50 very satisfied clients and now operate out of a 5,000 sq ft location. They take tremendous pride in our extremely quick turn around times and phenomenal communication with their clients. Their clients range from traditional 3PL to Amazon Private Label sellers. In short, they help their clients scale. Their ecosystem allows clients to be able to fully remove themselves from the tedious and monotonous process of fulfillment. They are owned and operated by an intellectual and humble gentleman named Billy Gatt. He lives and breathes fulfillment and has given his life to this company, making sure his clients receive the absolute best service in the country. They firmly believe this company will turn into the next 100 million dollar 3PL.
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.
