Our 3PL warehouse capability review is designed to help identify and address these typical issues within your 3PL warehouse.

1. Poor space utilisation delays processing tasks and increases our labour cost.
2. Casual resources lack the necessary skills to perform at the next level.
3. Weaknesses with aggregate allocation process to better manage demand and resources.
4. Do we have the best storage solutions, racking and binning for our products?
5. Customer service levels are poor due to delays in order picking and despatch.

Whether your 3PL operation is running from an older facility or a modern warehouse site, we adopt a standardised process methodology that will focus on understanding the real issues that are impacting on your ability to provide high customer service levels within the right cost management structure.

3PL Warehouse Capability Review

Experienced working with freight forwarders, transport companies and specialist integrated 3PL providers is invaluable as we work on developing the right solution for your business.

We take a look at your 3PL warehouse layout, propose a new layout or modify existing processes to deliver higher productivity improvements. It is all about achieving the right balance within a 3PL operation, safe speed, service and cost management. Our typical 3PL review will incorporate these core elements as we try to get a better understanding of your operation and client needs:

1. Existing contract, performance metrics and cost management control.
2. The existing warehouse layout and how it supports the flow of inventory.
3. Materials handling equipment, the cost of equipment, suitability and utilisation.
4. Warehouse storage systems, racking, binning, shelving for all products.
5. Warehouse resources, the quality of their work and process knowledge.
6. Warehouse systems, RF systems, WMS, ERP system and extent of integration.

We don’t complicate the process or over engineer a solution as our aim is to deliver a quality assessment that provides a path for continuous improvement for your 3PL operation and client management opportunities. Here are some initiatives that will take your 3PL warehouse operation to the next level.
