Moving with a 3PL (third-party logistics) provider model is common practice as businesses seek to exploit value throughout the supply chain. Instead of handling warehouse space, they use to pay a 3PL to handle the pick, pack, receipt, and shipping of product on their behalf. By doing this, the manufacturer ships products directly to the 3PL where orders are then fulfilled on behalf of the Wholesaler or Pharmaceutical Distributors.
This technique is basically for SMEs who do not wish to incur the costs associated with managing and staffing warehouse space, and for businesses that sell across the country and can benefit from multiple locations strategically placed. Before you decide on a 3PL partner, you need to consider all of the features of pharmaceutical ERP software.
