What is 3PL

3PL = 3rd Party Logistics

3PL (3rd Party Logistics) is the outsourcing of a company’s warehousing, fulfillment and/or transportation services to a 3rd party company. At ProPack we are your warehouse operation. Instead of leasing a building, hiring a manager and staff, investing in a WMS (Warehouse Management System), and negotiating your own rates with the carriers ProPack will handle all these elements.

ProPack is your 3rd Party Logistics partner; warehousing and shipping product on your behalf. This allows your company to focus on manufacturing, marketing and selling your product. ProPack takes away the worry of warehousing and logistics while letting you focus on running your company.

ProPack is your warehouse.
