6 Reasons Why SMBs Love 3PLs

Many SMBs work with a 3PL to optimize their business shipping. In fact, a recent study found that more than 80% of companies surveyed outsourced some – if not all – of their domestic shipping.¹

What is a 3PL?

3PLs help SMBs solve (and even avoid) complex shipping challenges in an ever-changing landscape. These cost-effective logistics services help companies streamline and improve their shipping processes.

Working with a 3PL can benefit your business in many ways, including:
