Third-Party Logistics (3PL)
Win accounts on service levels you can prove.
3PL economics turn on how quickly a new client can be onboarded and how reliably SLAs are met once they are. Both are constrained by labor you cannot always hire and by layouts that were designed for a different client mix. Modular automation lets you take on volume without betting the building on a single contract.
Operating pressures
- Client mixes change faster than fixed automation can be justified
- SLA penalties concentrate in peak weeks
- Onboarding a new account competes with running the existing ones
- Labor availability varies by market and by season
Where Inlog fits
- Modular expansion sized to contracted volume, not to a ten-year forecast
- Multi-client sortation with per-client routing and reporting
- Traceable records that support SLA reporting and claim resolution
- Deployment inside an existing lease rather than a new build
