Transportation is expensive. Freight shipments account are the most costly element of the entire fulfillment process, and high freight rates can quickly erode your profit margin. This is especially true if you’re absorbing shipping costs on behalf of your customers. A 3PL relationship provides you with access to competitive, volume-based shipping rates and options (you can also use your own!). Our comprehensive transportation solution saves you time and money, and includes a visibility tool to enable control and transparency.
