    Frequently Asked Questions

    Quick Answers to Your Questions
    What is Third Party Logistics (3PL)?

    Third Party Logistics (3PL) refers to outsourcing logistics operations—such as warehousing, inventory management, order fulfilment, shipping, and returns—to a specialist provider. EC Group offers a fully integrated 3PL service tailored to each client’s business needs.

    Key benefits include reduced shipping costs, faster order processing, improved delivery accuracy, 24/7 access to inventory systems, and more time to focus on business growth, product development, and customer service.

    With automated inventory systems, streamlined pick-pack-despatch processes, and access to trusted delivery networks, EC Group ensures faster, more accurate, and cost-effective shipping—including next-day delivery options.

    eCommerce stores, subscription services, wholesalers, and growing retailers benefit most. 3PL is ideal for businesses looking to scale without investing in warehouses, staffing, or shipping infrastructure.

    Most 3PL companies use a Warehouse Management System (WMS) to track inventory in real-time, manage stock levels, update order status automatically, and provide clients with 24/7 access to live inventory data.

    Yes. Many 3PL providers including us, offer international fulfilment, customs support, and global carrier integration, enabling businesses to reach overseas customers efficiently.

    Yes. One of the core benefits of 3PL is scalability. Services can flex up or down based on demand, helping businesses manage seasonal spikes or rapid growth without infrastructure investments.

    Most 3PL providers use Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) that offer real-time inventory updates, stock visibility, and automated notifications—making it easier for businesses to manage stock levels and prevent stockouts or overages.

    EC Group’s 3PL services help reduce shipping costs, improve order accuracy, accelerate delivery times, and simplify inventory management. Our tailored fulfilment solutions allow you to grow your business while we handle the logistics.

    Third party logistics (3PL) providers increase profit and efficiency by streamlining supply chain operations through automation, scale, and specialised expertise. They optimise warehousing, reduce shipping costs through bulk carrier rates, and improve order accuracy—minimising costly returns and delays. By outsourcing logistics to a 3PL, businesses free up internal resources, speed up delivery times, and gain real-time visibility into inventory and fulfilment. This allows companies to focus on sales and growth while operating more cost-effectively and competitively.

    A business should consider switching to third party logistics (3PL) when order volumes grow beyond in-house capacity, shipping delays increase, inventory management becomes difficult, or logistics start distracting from core business functions. It’s also ideal when expanding to new markets, needing faster delivery, or seeking cost savings through bulk shipping and automation. 3PL is especially valuable during periods of rapid growth, seasonal spikes, or when launching an eCommerce channel.
