Temperature Controlled Services
3PL - Share the Cost
Owning and operating Cold Storage requires high, fixed costs from initial expenses, such as buildings, material handling equipment, racking, cooling units and complex technology needs such as a warehouse management system and a data interface. Expenses are driven even higher with variable costs such as labor, utilities and building maintenance. Third-party logistics (3PL) operations are outsourced warehousing solutions which offer the ability to pay for the space you need with the flexibility to adjust as your requirements change.
Dedicated Contract Services
Operating a distribution center requires the right people, processes, systems, and tools to do the job efficiently. However, investing in these areas is extremely costly and requires experience. Utilizing a shared or third-party logistics (3PL) warehouse is an option, however companies are competing for space and resources. A contract operation provides customers with dedicated staff, equipment, space, and technology.
