A 3PL, or third-party logistics provider, is a company that offers outsourced logistics services to businesses that need to manage their supply chain operations more efficiently.
A 3PL typically provides a range of logistics services, including transportation, warehousing, inventory management, order fulfillment, and freight forwarding, among others. These services can be tailored to meet the specific needs of a business and are often provided on a contract basis.
By outsourcing their logistics operations to a 3PL, businesses can focus on their core competencies while leaving the complexities of logistics to a specialized provider. 3PLs can also provide cost savings and improved efficiencies by leveraging their expertise and economies of scale to optimize logistics processes.
Stock Keeping Units, or SKUs, are alphanumeric codes that retailers assign to track products. The information helps them identify specific inventory items, measure sales, and promote more efficient shopping experiences.
An Application Programming Interface (API) is a set of protocols, routines, and tools for building software applications.
DTC, or direct-to-consumer, refers to a business model where a company sells its products or services directly to consumers, bypassing traditional retail channels.
