A 1PL first-party logistics provider is a company or an individual that needs to have cargo, freight, goods or products transported from one point to another. First-party logistics involve just two parties. The manufacturer is the first party or the distributor that ships the goods (your company), and then there is the retailer or the customer that receives the goods (your customer).
A 2PL is a second-party logistics provider. A 2PL is an asset-based carrier responsible for the method of transportation. Examples of 2PLs include shipping lines, which operate the ships, airlines that operate the planes and hauling companies that run vehicles. It is an enterprise that owns assets, such as vehicles or aircraft, to transport products from one location to another. For example, a local farm might hire a 2PL service to transport their eggs from the farm to the grocery store.
3PL, or third-party logistics, involves using exterior businesses and partners to outsource elements of your warehousing and distribution needs. A good 3PL can provide as few or as many outsourced logistics services as you may need. A 3PL will receive products directly from your supplier, then store the product and pick, pack, and deliver orders to your customers as required.
3PL companies are capable of handling huge quantities of cargo for large-scale projects. Regardless of your job, Team Transport and Logistics are proud of our trusted partners and can guarantee successful and safe 3PL warehousing and distribution services around Queensland. We are a leading 3PL warehousing company and can take care of any logistics courier tracking needs as well as warehouse and distribution services for you and your business.
