3PL stands for Third Party Logistics.
If you need goods to be moved or stored then the answer is yes.
3PL providers are ideal for businesses that don’t have their own transport fleet or for businesses that need extra distribution capacity.
The cost of 3PL will vary according to a range of factors including, the distance and frequency of shipments and the need for additional services such as off-loading and lot tracking. Please get in touch with your requirements for your bespoke quote.
A freight forwarder only moves goods between locations, whereas a 3PL service typically offers a wider range of fulfilment services including supply chain management, warehousing, picking and packing.
With 3PL the business owns their inventory and outsources the storage, packaging and shipping to a third-party logistics service. Dropshipping means the supplier owns the inventory that is then shipped directly to the customer.
2PL does transport only, 3PL manages warehousing and inventory as well as distribution and 4PL is a holistic supply chain that may include overseeing multiple 3PLs.
3PL or ‘third party logistics’ companies provide a range of storage and shipping support for businesses, including;
• Inventory Management
• Order Fulfilment
• Warehousing and Storage
• Freight and Transportation
We understand that for businesses that rely on third-party logistics, 3PL is about so much more than “Goods in/Goods Out”!
Cost Savings
Outsourcing warehousing and transportation means outsourcing the high capital outlay of vehicles and real estate. Using a 3PL provider means lower short and medium-term operational costs.
Scalability
The flexibility offered by a 3PL provider helps businesses to adapt quickly and capitalise on seasonal demand or new opportunities.
Focus on Core Competencies
Outsourcing storage and shipping to a 3PL provider enables companies to focus on other key areas, such as product development and sales.
Efficiency is the key to sustainability in the 3PL sector. One of the ways Invo Fulfilment have minimised their carbon footprint is by harnessing route optimisation software. This means that distribution runs are planned to use the most fuel-efficient routes.
The modern lorry fleet includes a range of sizes including rigid and articulated lorries so that they carry full loads, so that load space is not wasted.
Invo Fulfilment’s depots in the Midlands and Manchester are located next to the motorway network, so our lorries are near the businesses and customers we serve, so every mile counts.

3PL services are useful for a variety of companies, including;
Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs)
Outsourcing to third party logistics enables SMEs to focus on their core business. Partnering with a third-party logistics service removes the cost and risk of running their own fleet or warehouse.
E-commerce Retailers
The rapid growth in e-commerce has seen an increased demand for 3PL fulfilment services. Some 3PL warehousing companies specialise in e-commerce. It is now possible for businesses to exist solely online, with all stock holding, shipping and fulfilment being handled by a third party.
Seasonal Businesses
One of the biggest benefits of 3PL is that it offers flexibility to businesses. Even larger companies that have in-house warehousing and transport provision can need logistics support when there’s an increase in demand.
Our integrated warehouse management systems give real-time visibility of stock movements. We use the latest technology and a robust goods-in and goods-out verification process to ensure your stock is shipped and stored safely and efficiently.
Using Invo Fulfilment as same trusted provider for your transport and storage also means you get end-to-end tracking, minimising the risk of loss and damage.
If you require specialist services such as stock rotation, inventory reports, or an integrated WMS solution, your 3PL service can be tailored to your unique requirements.
Inventory management software helps 3PL companies and their customers keep track of stock, ensuring the goods-in and goods-out process is efficient and reliable.
Route planning software helps 3PL providers optimise their route, as well as vehicle tracking in real time.
A resilient supply chain is essential for keeping inbound and outbound shipments flowing smoothly, ensuring service level agreements are met and goods are delivered to the right place at the right time.
Having a reliable 3PL partner that can provide extra fulfilment support when needed gives businesses the flexibility to respond to unforeseen challenges. 3PL services can also provide essential backup when transport demand exceeds in-house capacity.
Invo Fulfilment’s flexible 3PL service can provide additional distribution support when you need it so that you have that extra resilience when your supply chain needs it.
