Final Mile Delivery

The Best Final Mile Delivery Company

A final mile delivery company is a transportation company that makes ontime, damage free deliveries to their destination.

The best type of final mile company to work with for these shipments is a third-party logistics provider.

What is a Third-Party Logistics Provider?

A third-party logistics (3PL) provider is a logistics company who offers several transportation and logistics services that can be used alone or combined to meet your needs. 3PL services include some or all of the below.

• Cross dock 
• Final mile delivery 
• Pool distribution 
• Reverse logistics 
• Truckload and LTL shipments
• Warehousing and storage options 
• Inventory management 
• Pick and pack options 
• Sort and seg options

A 3PL provider allows you to outsource your transportation and logistics needs, which helps your business grow without the added investment of managing the transportation and logistics yourself.

What to Expect When Working with a 3PL Provider?

One of the most significant advantages of working with a 3PL provider is the ability to customize your services based on your needs. For example, you can add or remove services based on high volume months, flash sales, or preparing for the holidays.

Then when you work with an experienced logistics company, like Beitler Logistics Services, Inc. (BLS), they can quickly adapt to your changing needs. For instance, if your shipment order has a last-minute change, the BLS team can respond quickly to help find the best solution.

Here’s what you can expect when outsourcing your warehouse storage with final mile delivery services using LTL transportation.

• You make the products and ship them to the 3PL warehouse for storage. 
• The 3PL provider receives the shipment and manages the inventory for you. 
• When products need to be shipped, the 3PL provider is notified.
• A 3PL provider picks and packs the items to meet the order.
• The 3PL provider handles the final mile logistics, scheduling, and finding the best LTL rate and accessories needed for the order. 
• The 3PL provider manages the transportation and delivery. 
• You have access to technology that gives you tracking visibility throughout the process. 
• You’re notified once the shipment is delivered.

Overall, you save money by only using the warehouse storage space you need. Additionally, you save money on transportation since the 3PL managed the process and found the best rate for your order.
