Third-party logistics, also known as 3PL, refers to companies outsourcing logistics and distribution to logistics solution providers called 3PL providers.

Often, 3PL providers go beyond logistics and provide value-added services such as inventory management, cross-docking, door-to-door delivery, and packaging of products. They also provide strategic and operational value to many shippers across the globe. 3PL improves the effectiveness of logistics by using new and innovative ways to manage SCM.
