- Capacity: Look for a 3PL supplier that has the capacity to handle your volume and can accommodate your needs as your business grows. We're modular, let's grow together.
- Location: Consider a 3PL supplier with a strategic location that is close to your customers or has easy access to major transport hubs.
- Technology: Choose a 3PL supplier with advanced technology and systems that can provide real-time visibility into your inventory and orders. One online tool gives you access to real-time inventory, sales channel integrations and communication directly to the picking teams.

- Service level agreements (SLAs): Ensure that the 3PL supplier offers clear and measurable SLAs that meet your expectations and requirements.
- Cost: Evaluate all your 3PL supplier's pricing structures and compare it with other providers to ensure that it is competitive and provides value for money. You need to keep ahead of your ever-growing costs. Let's work together to manage the suppliers, packaging and picking costs. Without your success, we have none.
