Product Rework

Logistics Industry November 9, 2010

What a pain in the proverbial behind... that dreaded call from your customer letting you know that there's an "issue" or "problem" with your companies product and that you're going to have to fix it... and of course, it needs to be done right away. As Murphy's Law would have it, there are orders pending and empty shelves mean lost revenue. The pressure is on and you're not sure how to react. What to do, what to do??? The answer may be as simple as picking up your phone and calling the 3PL company that you deal with.

The 4PL Relationship

Logistics Industry November 3, 2010

Typically, a 4pl (4th Party Logistics) relationship has your customer wanting to open a distribution center in a city where you as the 3rd party logistics provider do not have a facility and you as their relationship manager want to control the communication. If you pick the right partner a 4pl can be a new source of revenue for your company with very little labor, time and resources invested; picking the wrong one can ultimately, damage a relationship with your client. These relationships can be tricky for a number of reasons and hopefully this will help in recognizing what to ask and how to manage this partnership.

3PL Costs

Technology September 10, 2010

How many times have you received a quote for a service and you believed that it was too high? You diligently did your homework and gathered some quotes from other providers to ensure that the service quoted is competitive and a reflection of what the current marketplace will offer. Once you compare the quotes-the question often becomes: Which competitor is going to provide me with top of the line service and at a fair price? 3PL providers and prospects do not operate any differently-in fact, as a salesperson, I get to listen to the prospect ask all the time-well your quote, at times , is higher or lower than the rest. I always respond by walking the client through the service quoted and the value that our 3PL will provide for the rate that has been quoted. It is my job to convince the prospect that the rate quoted is a reflection of our service levels and our ability to get the job done right the first time.
