What Is 3PL Warehousing?

3PL warehousing refers to the use of an external provider to manage your storage, inventory, and fulfillment operations. These providers operate sophisticated warehouse facilities that handle everything from receiving and storing goods to picking, packing, and shipping them.

Core functions of a 3PL warehouse include:

Inbound logistics and receiving
Secure storage and inventory control
Order processing and fulfillment
Returns management
Real-time visibility and reporting

These services allow companies to scale without the capital expense and complexity of running their own warehouse.

3PL providers offer a range of services tailored to different industries and supply chain needs. Common offerings include:

Basic Storage Solutions: Short-term or long-term storage for pallets, cases, or units.
Order Fulfillment: Includes pick, pack, and ship operations.
Value-Added Services: Kitting, labeling, custom packaging, product assembly.
Temperature-Controlled Storage: For perishables and sensitive goods.
Cross-Docking & Transloading: Speed up turnaround times and reduce storage costs.

With Averitt Distribution & Fulfillment, our warehousing services are designed to flex with your needs—from overflow storage to full-scale fulfillment.
