Apples-to-Apples Comparison of Proposals
— Cost - Different providers often deliver pricing under different rates structures that can make it difficult to understand all-in costs. Using your order data and forecast, we build a custom, detailed model used to provide an apples-to-apples cost comparison of all 3PL options. If you are currently using a 3PL, we will also incorporate your current costs so that your team has visibility into the potential financial impact of switching providers. Detailed zone analyses are also included in the model and used to compare different scenarios resulting impact to shipping costs
— Service - We communicate the differences in service levels across providers and will make recommendations for the right fit
— Team - We’ll setup interviews, demos, and warehouse tours with your team to make sure that providers are aligned to the needs and goals of your company
